Of course, Aniston has not only undergone a stunning transformation over the course of her on-screen career, but she's had her share of high-profile romances along the way. For instance, she was married to Brad Pitt for a time, and later entered a long-term relationship with Justin Theroux (though her eventual divorce from Theroux was nowhere near as messy as her split from Pitt). That being said, Aniston made it abundantly clear that Musk is not her type, and totally destroyed the Tesla CEO with just one simple sentence.
