Grimes and Elon Musk debut as a couple at Met Gala after bonding over Artificial Intelligence
The co-founder of PayPal, Tesla Motors and SpaceX joined Grimes on the Met Gala red carpet while his divorce is still ongoing.
Grimes' love life has taken an unexpected turn as she made her debut appearance with new beau Elon Musk at 2018's Met Gala red carpet.
The billionnaire tech genius has made the headlines recently due to his messy divorce with Justine Musk. Speaking to Marie Claire, Justine Musk said, "I don't regret my marriage. I've worked through some anger, both at Elon for rendering me so disposable, and at myself for buying into a fairy tale when I should have known better. But I will always respect the brilliant and visionary person that he is. I also can't regret the divorce (our case was bifurcated, which means that even though the property issues aren't settled, our marriage is legally dead). Elon and I share custody of the children, who are thriving. I feel grounded now, and deeply grateful for my life."
According to PageSix, Clare Boucher, aka Grimes, met Elon Musk in April after he had planned to Tweet about artificial intelligence, but found out that Grimes had already done so.

Grimes had created a character named Rococo Basilisk for her song "Flesh Without Blood". Later, Musk created a joke as they both had similar concepts on AI. Even on 7 May, hours before their appearance at the Met Gala, the PayPal co-founder hinted at their blossoming partnership when he tweeted links to Rococo Basilisk's Wiki page.
Whilst they share banter over social media, it's apparent that Elon Musk and Grimes have plenty in common.
