In the comments, one user asked why Grimes signed to a label, leading her to respond, "need to get out of the gate-keeping of indie music and i need $ for music videos etc haha contrary to popular belief by bf [Elon Musk] doesn't fund my career."

Last year, Grimes spoke about Musk's wealth and her career in an interview with Rolling Stone, and stated, "Grimes is funded by Grimes. I don’t want to divert funds from, like, Tesla to my stupid art project. I can’t say the things I say and believe what I believe and then take money from my boyfriend."
The new "100% Tragedy" teaser follows last month's TikTok videos featuring a snippet of another unreleased track titled "Shinigami Eyes".
