Claire Elise Boucher known professionally as Grimes is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. She has released five studio albums, two extended plays, eleven singles, and four promotional singles.

Elon Musk and Grimes got in touch with each other three years. “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,” an insider told Page Six of their first exchange. “Grimes said this was the first time in three years that anyone understood the joke. They were both poking fun at AI,” added the insider.

Tesla CEO Musk and Grimes made their relationship public in 2018 during the Met Gala.

Musk and Grimes welcomed their first child a year ago and they named their son X Æ A-12. According to Grimes, "X" stood for "the unknown variable", while "Æ" is the Elven spelling of AI—shorthand for artificial intelligence and Japanese for "love".

Besides one son with Grimes, Musk had six sons with his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, but he lost one child because of sudden infant death syndrome after just 10 weeks. Musk and Wilson married in 2000 and divorced in 2008.
