Gwynne posted a photo of Musk at the University of Pennsylvania when he was 23 years old and remarked, "Elon was normally pretty reticent, but every now and then he would simply go extremely ridiculous and want me to laugh along with him. I then made the decision to capture his genuine smile.”

During the fall of the 1994–1995 academic year, Gwynne and Musk were romantically involved. They both resided and worked as resident advisors in the University of Pennsylvania's Quadrangle dorm on "Spruce Street" during that time.

Gwynne is also offering for sale a 14k gold necklace that Musk bought her for her birthday in addition to the photos.

She claimed that while their relationship was lovely, Musk mostly opposed displays of affection or "PDA."  It was during this time that Musk’s mother and supermodel Maye Musk and his siblings had got to know about his plans to make electric vehicles.

She further added, "Timeline note here: Back in 1994, Elon discussed the future of electric vehicles. Since he was so upfront and certain that electric cars were on the horizon, I never questioned his claim that [EV] would be [in the] forefront of the movement. Sincerely speaking, I have known for the past 25 years that Tesla will be a success. Elon's confidence and clarity have a highly contagious quality.”

A Musk-signed birthday card that reads, "Happy birthday boo-boo, love Elon," is another item Gwynne is offering for sale. Late in 1994, Musk gifted Gwynne a gold necklace and this card.

Musk attended Stanford University for his PhD in materials science after receiving his BA in physics from Penn and his Bachelor of Science in economics from the Wharton School. After two days, Musk left Stanford to establish his first start-up in the midst of the internet boom. 

Jennifer Gwynne is now 48 and lives in South Carolina. To help pay for her stepson's education expenses, she is auctioning off pictures of her college sweetheart, Elon Musk. She said that despite Elon Musk's lack of tenderness, their year-long affair was sweet. When Elon Musk came to Palo Alto in 1995, Jennifer and Musk allegedly split up because Elon Musk began having an affair with Justine Wilson, Elon Musk's first wife, behind Jennifer's back.
