Long before ending his “fluid partnership” with musician Grimes in March 2022, Elon Musk had been married twice - three times if you count marrying the same person - and was already a father to five boys. According to Vanity Fair, Grimes and Musk first met in 2018 when the SpaceX founder slid into her DM’s, where they made the same pun about artificial intelligence. Musk responded to her tweet with a small correction: “SR-71, but yes”, to which Grimes replied: “I am recovering from surgery and barely alive so may my typos b forgiven but, damnit. That was meant to be profound.” Musk didn’t seem to mind, and tweeted back at the singer: “U r a powerful ” alongside an emoji of a fairy and one of a princess.
