Elon Musk’s new biography, penned by Walter Isaacson, reveals some surprising tidbits about the business magnate. In fact, they include some surprising revelations about Amber Heard, who was the former girlfriend of Elon Musk. As it turns out, she would “roleplay” as the Overwatch character Mercy for Musk.
This was brought up on X, the platform previously known as Twitter which was purchased and renamed by Musk. He shared several responses to the post, which merely noted that “New Elon Musk biography reports he asked ex-girlfriend Amber Heard to cosplay Mercy from Overwatch.”
First, he confirmed that it was indeed true that Amber Heard would dress like Mercy for Elon Musk:
She did dress up as Mercy. It was awesome.

He then went a step further, however, when he provided a photo of Amber Heard in the Mercy outfit:

The biography, titled Elon Musk, adds that Heard allegedly had the costume made after two months of design work. Furthermore, the book alleges that this only started after Musk told the Aquaman star that she resembled the character. Of course, judging by the above image, it’s quite easy to see the resemblance as well.
With that said, their relationship did not last. According to reports, Musk sought to date Amber Heard as early as 2012, though he did not officially date her until 2017. The relationship then only lasted a few months before ending. According to actor Johnny Depp, the ex-husband of Amber Heard, both Heard and Musk had an affair while she was still married to Depp. Though both Heard and Musk have denied any such allegations.
