“It started out as a gamble,” he admitted. “But it turned into something else. Something real.” Still hurt, Olivia left, her trust in Musk shattered. But when her mother’s health took a turn for the worse, Olivia swallowed her pride and reached out to Musk.
True to his word, Musk immediately arranged everything for her mother’s specialist care, hospital treatments, and access to top-tier health insurance plans. He was there when she needed him most, no questions asked.
A New Beginning. Months passed, and Musk and Olivia continued to work together, growing closer both professionally and personally. Musk’s feelings for her deepened, and he realized he had been wrong.
It wasn’t about the bet anymore—it was about Olivia, the woman who had stood by him, helped him, and never once asked for anything in return.
At the launch of the Star Kids initiative, Musk made a public announcement, revealing a $50 million fund and naming Olivia as the executive director. He praised her as the true visionary behind the program, and then, in front of the crowd, he handed her a small box—a model of a Mars habitat he had built himself.
“Some things are worth the effort,” he told her. That night, beneath the twinkling Christmas lights, Musk asked Olivia to start over—with him. No more bets, no more secrets—just them. He offered her a simple ring, one that symbolized the new chapter they would start together. This time, for real.
