ELON MUSK AND GRIMES’S LOVE STORY
Elon-Grimes’s love story is just like the movies. Living in the digital, there is no surprise that the story began on social media platform Twitter now renamed as ‘X’. Musk cracked a joke about artificial intelligence until he realised Miss Boucher had bashed him through the Rococo Basilisk character from her ‘Flesh Without Blood’ music video.
According to a 2018 report, Elon and Grimes got together and made their first public appearance together at the Met Gala the same year. Later, the CEO of Tesla, expressed his love for Grimes and said, “wild fae artistic creativity and hyperintense work ethic.”
The news of their on-and-off relationship came out several times until 2020. Grimes announced she was expecting her first child with Elon Musk whom they named ‘X Æ A-12 Musk.’ Later they had a baby girl named Exa Dark Sidrael via surrogacy and had another son named Techno Mechanicus. Their love story ended when they officially broke up in September 2021.
Grimes Filed a Lawsuit Against Elon Musk
Initially, Grimes took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote a tweet to Walter Isaacson, who wrote Musk’s biography, pleading with him to “tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer.”
Although she instantly took down the post. A few weeks later Grimes filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk for Parental Rights in the San Francisco Superior Court.
