Elon Musk's marriage to British actress Talulah Riley has short-circuited — again.
Riley, 30, filed paperwork Monday to pull the plug on her second union
with the billionaire mogul behind Tesla Motors and SpaceX.
"Elon Musk and his wife Talulah Riley have announced that they are
ending their marriage amicably," the couple said in a joint statement
obtained by the Daily News.
"With mutual consent, Ms. Riley filed (the divorce petition)," the
statement said. "Mr. Musk and Ms. Riley continue to see each other
occasionally as friends."
The statement said the spouses have spent the last six months living
separately, but Riley's Los Angeles County filing by lawyer Larry
Ginsberg listed the date of separation as undetermined.
The couple first tied the knot in 2010 at a ceremony in Scotland. She
filed for their first divorce in January 2012, but then they remarried
in July 2013.
It was Musk, 44, who first made a move to end their second marriage
when he filed for divorce on New Year's Eve 2014. That action was
dismissed last July, and the couple appeared to be back on track.
Riley was at the September launch of the Tesla Model X SUV in Fremont,
Calif., and was photographed smiling beside her fashion model
mother-in-law Maye Musk.

Musk's first wife Justine Musk - the mother of his five young sons -
told Marie Claire magazine in 2010 that the magnate slapped her with a
divorce in 2008 and quickly moved on with Riley.
"Six weeks (after the filing), he texted me to say he was engaged to a
gorgeous British actress in her early 20s who had moved to Los Angeles
to be with him," Justine told the magazine.
She admitted she was a fan of Riley's 2005 movie "Pride &
Prejudice," in which Riley plays Mary Bennet alongside co-stars Keira
Knightley and Rosamund Pike, but Justine lamented her life with Musk
"had devolved to a cliché."
Musk, meanwhile, is due to launch a much hyped entry-level Tesla model at an event later this month.
The man who co-founded PayPal and helped inspire Tony Stark's character
in Jon Favreau's "Iron Man" movies also has championed a so-called
"fifth mode of transport" called the Hyperloop.
He launched a crowdsourced research race in 2013 when he published a
Hyperloop white paper that envisioned a solar-powered pod whooshing
through a system of terrestrial tubes at the speed of sound.
Competing firms are rushing to make the idea a reality - and possibly
connect San Francisco and Los Angeles with a one-way trip that takes 30
minutes.
