Grimes Took Elon Musk To The Met Gala And Twitter Is Shook

They're all set to be the first couple in space at this rate

At the Met Gala on Monday night, one of the biggest surprises of all was that tech billionaire and controversial figure Elon Musk is dating singer Grimes.

The unlikely pair stepped out on the red carpet – Musk wearing a white suit, and Grimes wearing what appears to be a Tesla choker – to officially announce their partnership. While it isn't a huge surprise to those paying attention to their flirty Twitter banter about cyberpunk and AI, and they are both bang into space and tech and stuff, it does seem a little bit out there.

Which, naturally, Twitter, scandalised that their favourite fun electropunk artist is hanging out with a problematic billionaire, had a whole lot of fun with.

I just really need Elon to build Grimes that spacecraft, so she can get the galactic samples she deserves

Can’t believe Grimes is dating the guy who owns Tesla instead of dating me, the guy who got a $3000 insurance payout after deliberately throwing himself in front of a Tesla

elon musk and grimes is so damn cursed it’s like when my friend’s dad started dating her volleyball teammate right after he divorced her mom

elon musk is dating grimes because they both made the same terrible, nerd ass pun on twitter which on one hand is extremely relatable but on the other hand it makes them the worst people on planet earth and they should be imprisoned
