Jennifer Gwynne Auctioned Unseen Photos of Elon Musk to Raise Funds for her Stepson’s College Tuition
Jennifer Gwynne told a publication that previously, some of Musk’s signed test papers were sold at auction for over $7,000, so she got the idea from there and hoped to sell her college days items to raise funds for her stepson’s college tuition. Gwynne described Musk as someone peering at the future of electric vehicles back when they were dating.
The photos put up for auction includes:
