Pretty sure anyone who dates Musk gets to be whatever they want. For a while.

I'd be surprised if he dates employees, but I really don't keep up with who's dating whom, so I guess anything's possible.
He seems increasingly like he saw Jurassic Park as a kid, and is modelling his persona on an impression of Jeff Goldblum's performance ; so I assume he'd be looking for someone who is high functioning in a completely different field to him, that throws up different kinds of challenges...
...and doesn't mind going up to their elbows in one giant pile of Dino-poop.
I have not heard of any connection Anderson has to Musk in a personal capacity, but I do recall seeing a music video of hers somewhere a few years ago. I think it's a creative outlet when she's not busy with all the rocket engineering.
Elon gave an update on the post-mortem of Starship's launch:

If you'd rather watch than read Ars Technica's article, here's the 'toob of it:

Have you heard the latest news from Neptune???
My brother's band opened for Sun Ra once upon a time decades ago...
I liked the music in both of those vids. Thanks.
I just played this piece with the James Webb vid. Excellent.

I don't always pay close attention, but I enjoy these launches. We have come a long way. A couple years ago we went to Nasa. I felt like a kid again. Lol
Quick update on Mars rover Perseverance and it's helo.
Here's the full route map to recent location. Belva crater is 0.5 mile (800 meters) wide.
The helo took the next pic about 40ft (12 meters) altitude on it's 51st flight. Belva, the rover, the helo's shadow, and a piece of debris from the descent are in this very large pic.:

It's just amazing that Ingenuity is still flying. On freakin' MARS! 
There are plans afoot to keep Hubble flying longer than currently expected. Two proposals, one from The Usual Suspect and one from a pair of relative newcomers. Here's hoping this works out!

And there are also plans afoot to change the focus of the New Horizons mission.

That article certainly does not give any compelling argument for making the change.
Meanwhile:
Vast says it will launch its first space station in 2025 on a Falcon 9
I *think* they'll spin it end for end*, but that would make for some interesting dynamics when capsules dock and undock. (Changing the center of mass of the rotating system.)
*: it would provide more gravity than rotating the cylinder on its main axis
