Grimes: The Beginning

Duration: 2018-2022

Elon Musk began dating Canadian musician Grimes (born Claire Boucher) in 2018. The two connected over a shared interest in artificial intelligence and obscure humor, famously bonding online over a pun about Roko’s Basilisk.

Their relationship became public when they attended the Met Gala in May 2018. Fans were intrigued by the pairing, as Musk’s technological pursuits contrasted with Grimes’ avant-garde persona. Despite the differences in their backgrounds, the couple found common ground in their creative ambitions and a mutual fascination with the future.
