This foreign born singer who was not in an earlier blind item about a foreign born singer is way more famous than she probably should be based on airplay and record sales.

She has made news recently because she has apparently compromised her political beliefs for the sake of some publicity and money and a thirst for more fame. Actually though, she does share some very racist points of view with a person close to her.

Grimes

Elon Musk

Your Guide To Grimes And Elon Musk, The Most Bewildering Space Romance Of Our Time

According to trusted celebrity gossip rag Page Six, Musk wanted to tweet a joke at some point earlier this year but searched the platform to see if it had been done before—and it had, by Boucher. How ripe for a love story!

Apparently the joke involves AI and is some real nerd shit:

“Thought experiment Roko’s Basilisk considers the hypothesis of a future where AI lords over the world and could punish those who did not help it into existence. His joke was to merge this thought experiment with a pun using “Rococo,” referring to the ornate French 18th Century Baroque style, perhaps pointing out that both concepts are complex, too extreme and ridiculous…In 2015, she created a character named “Rococo Basilisk” for a video of her song “Flesh Without Blood.” “I don’t know if you’ve heard of Roko’s Basilisk,” she told Fuse. “[This character] is doomed to be eternally tortured by an artificial intelligence, but she’s also kind of like Marie Antoinette.”

“Elon was researching the idea of joking about Rococo Basilisk, and when he saw Grimes had already joked about it, he reached out to her,” says the insider. “Grimes said this was the first time in three years that anyone understood the joke. They were both poking fun at AI.”

It was enough for them to touch base, realize they’re both nerds but, like, totally cool ones, and go on some dates. The first time we (the public) saw them together was Sunday, May 6 at the annual Met Gala. Musk cosplayed as James Bond, and Grimes was her regular, goth-y self. So, we know they’ve been dating this year, but the duration is unknown. Seems new-ish, though?

Why Are People Mad?

“Why do I care about any of this!” you might now be wailing, ready to fire off an angry missive in the comment section. “I am a real car-driving person! I come here for the CARS! What does this have to do with the cars?”

Well, it does, since part of this controversy is how Grimes waded into Tesla’s ongoing production and labor issues, making this ridiculous story all the more ridiculous.

See, Musk is a lot of things to a lot of people. To some he’s a genius, a real-life Tony Stark, someone who has jump-started an electric and autonomous car revolution while running a space transport company on the side—all while supposedly reinventing public transit.

To others, the dude is a bullshit artist, an evil capitalist and union-buster, someone who has been against efforts by the United Auto Workers to unionize the Tesla plant. Fans think someone like Boucher, who has really made a name for herself on her own terms as a creative powerhouse, wouldn’t buy into some bullshit billionaire-written fantasy, but it happens, I guess.

It’s especially disheartening that Grimes has begun to defend some of Musk’s practices on this subject: On Monday, May 22, in a series of tweets that have since been deleted, Boucher responded to accusations that Musk fired Tesla employees who attempted to unionize by saying it’s “fake news” (yikes) because she’s “even visited factories” (double yikes). How the hell would she know about conditions? Did she talk to workers, who answered her inquiries honestly, unafraid of fallout? – Read more here
