to Musk claims that the business magnate and Heard are 'just friends'

Elon Musk has been spotted in the company of Amber Heard multiple times in the past month, and according to a new report that tech billionaire has had an interest in the newly divorced actress for years.

The Hollywood Reporter spoke with a source who claims that Musk 'became infatuated' with Heard after the two appeared in the 2013 film Machete Kills.

The two did not have any scenes together or get a chance to meet on set, so Musk began to email director Robert Rodriguez repeatedly in hopes that he could set up a meeting between himself and the actress - despite the fact that she was with Johnny Depp at the time.

No more: Heard filed for divorce from actor Johnny Depp in May after 14 months of marriage, and their separation was finalized earlier this month (former couple above in January)

'If there is a party or event with Amber, I'd be interested in meeting her just out of curiosity,' Musk wrote in one email to Rodriguez.

'Allegedly, she is a fan of George Orwell and Ayn Rand … most unusual.'

A dinner was then reportedly set up between the two, but Heard did not show up for her scheduled sit-down with the business magante.

That did not deter Musk however, who again emailed Rodriguez, writing: 'Can you send her a note saying I would like to get together for lunch in LA?'

He then clarified what he was looking for, telling Roidriguez: 'Am not angling for a date. I know she's in a long-term relationship, but … Amber just seems like an interesting person to meet.'

Heard and Musk were spotted partying together earlier this month at The Box in London, though the two were careful not to be photographed leaving the club together with celeb pals Cara Delevingne and Jared Leto.

The 30-year-old actress is in London working on the upcoming Justice League film, in which she will play the underwater warrior and sorceress Mera.

Musk and heard were also spotted together in Miami earlier this summer, but a source close to the billionaire claims the two 'are just friends.'

Heard filed for divorce from Depp in May, making shocking allegations about the abuse she suffered at the hands of the Oscar-nominated actor.

Their separation was finalized earlier this month, with Depp agreeing to hand over $7million to his wife of just 14 months.

Heard in turn said that the money she was given in the divorce would be given to the ACLU and Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, with both getting exactly $3.5million.

Depp cut the first checks to both organizations on Wednesday, with his rep saying in a statement to TMZ: 'Following Amber Heard's announcement that her divorce settlement was to be divided equally and gifted to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and the American Civil Liberties Union, two exceptionally deserving and important charities, Johnny Depp has sent the first of multiple installments of those monies to each charity in the name of Amber Heard, which when completed will honor the full amount of Ms. Heard's pledge.'

The rep then added: 'Ms. Heard's generosity in giving to these wonderful causes is deeply respected.'

Musk meanwhile is in the process of divorcing his wife Talulah Riley - again.

The South African-born tech billionaire and the English actress - who were married in 2010, divorced in 2012 and then remarried in 2013 - decided to call it quits this npast March when Riley again filed divorce papers.

Musk, 45, and Riley, 30, first wed in 2010, at a ceremony held in Scotland, but divorced shortly after in 2012.

He announced on Twitter that it had been an ‘amazing’ few years and that he would always love her, paying out $4.2million in a settlement.

Months after the first divorce, they were back together – and remarried in July 2013. But the couple lived apart for much of 2014 while Talulah wrote and directed her first feature film, Scottish Mussel.

Divorce papers were again filed in December 2014 with the couple insisting that the split was amicable and Musk agreeing to pay $16million in a settlement.

That action was withdrawn just a few months later.

Prior to his relationship with Riley, Musk was married to Canadian author Justine Wilson.

The pair wed in 2000 and then divorced in 2008.
