Elon Musk's autograph is probably a sought-after treasure for tech enthusiasts and fans of the entrepreneur's work and social presence. This is further testified by a recent auction, involving a $1 USD dollar bill that features Elon Musk's autograph. The item is put forward by Musk's ex-girlfriend Jennifer Gwynne. The two of them crossed paths for the first time in 1994 at the University of Pennsylvania.
The bill's estimated sale price is $5,000 USD. The current bid is $3,222 USD with 25 more days to go. There is no question that Gwynne will likely reach the estimated value by then, if not surpass it. In addition to this bill, she is also auctioning out photographs, a signed birthday card, and a 14K-gold necklace.
