LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Elon Musk has shocked the internet by revealing a confidential picture of his former girlfriend, Amber Heard, in the costume of the video game character Mercy from 'Overwatch'.
Although numerous individuals on his X platform (formerly known as Twitter) commended the post, a few were displeased with the billionaire's choice to make the image public.
Mixed reactions on X
"Wow! How cool! She is gorgeous!" a user wrote.
"Elon musk posting amber heard in overwatch cosplay was not what I expected to see today," a Twitter user commented.
"I guess I am in the minority with you. I agree she looks damn good," a comment read. "Hot damn," said another. "Why do famous people have such a small dating pool?" someone else wondered.
"They tried to make him look bad, he clapped back by owning it. AND he didn’t make her look bad. Matrix attack averted," a user commented. "I hate to see this guys fetish but she DOES look amazing ngl," gushed another.
"I despise how well she actually pulls off the cosplay. But knowing she's an abusive person, and takes a crap in the sheets is the most turned off I've been for a hot girl. But hey, someone out there is a stronger man than me," one user commented.
A closer look at Elon Musk and Amber Heard's 'Overwatch' cosplay connection
The billionaire behind Tesla, aged 52, was in a relationship with actress Amber Heard, 37, seven years ago.
According to his recently released biography, she had a cosplay costume created after Musk mentioned that she resembled Mercy, his favorite character from the video game 'Overwatch'.
"He told her that she reminded him of Mercy, his favorite character in the video game Overwatch," his new biography claims. "So she spent two months designing and commissioning a head-to-toe costume so she could role-play for him."
The 'Aquaman' actress subsequently wore this alluring outfit for Musk, the entrepreneur confirmed. Responding to a tweet about the incident in the book, Musk said, "She did dress up as Mercy. It was awesome."
The tech magnate has since shared a photograph of his former girlfriend dressed in the seductive Mercy attire with his 156 million followers.
She stared into the camera while wearing the white costume, complete with a halo, wings, and garters. The post has garnered 2.8 million views on X.
