Elon Musk has found a new love interest in musical artist Grimes.
The two stepped out together at the Met Gala, one of the biggest star-studded events of the year. Musk wore a white tuxedo jacket and a collarless shirt, while Grimes rocked a futuristic space-warrior-inspired ensemble. The pair have not publicly confirmed their relationship.
Earlier on Monday, Page Six reported that Musk and Grimes have been “quietly dating,” according to an unnamed source. The gossip rag said the pair met online about a month ago, after Musk saw on a joke about artificial intelligence that Grimes made and reached out.
Musk, 46, is the founder of Tesla and SpaceX and has a net worth around US$20.1 billion.
Claire Boucher, known professionally as Grimes, has received widespread acclaim for her lip-smacking blend of pop, electronic, indie rock, and noise music. Her studio album “Visions” was hailed as “one of the most impressive albums of the year so far” by The New York Times in 2012.
