On social media, many viewers were stunned after Grimes took a swipe at ex Elon Musk with a cryptic response about space dreams
Singer Grimes recently shared a subtle jab at her ex, Elon Musk, over men with aspirations of traveling to space.
This comment came in response to a remark by singer Olivia Rodrigo, stirring conversation across social media.
Olivia Rodrigo revealed her biggest dating red flag.
In an interview with Netflix, pop star Olivia Rodrigo shared her “oddly specific” dating red flag. Rodrigo explained that she asks potential dates if they’d want to go to space. If they answer yes, she considers it a dealbreaker.
“I just think if you wanna go to space, you’re a little too full of yourself,” Rodrigo said, adding, “It’s just weird.” Rodrigo’s candid confession quickly gained attention online.
Grimes responds with a subtle swipe
Grimes, also known as Claire Boucher, responded to Rodrigo’s comments on social media. She agreed, saying, “It’s true. Only women should be going to space.” While she didn’t mention Musk directly, many interpreted her comment as a swipe at him.
Social meda reaction
Social media users immediately picked up on the subtle shade.
One person said: Well she’s already bore his child so she might not “date” a guy who wants to go to space, but I know what she will do with him…
A second wrote: Well, in musk’s defense, he has not been to space, nor do I really think he has any plans to go himself.
While a third commented: Miss Grimes, what happened last time you dated a guy who wanted to go to space?
Another added: She does have the most experience out of most.
Someone else said: Grimes figured out that Elon and Shivon Zillis had a kid together when her kids with Elon were on a play date with Zillis and her little one. One day one of these women will snap.
Grimes and Musk’s relationship
Grimes and Musk dated on and off for four years before their 2022 split. They share three children: X Æ A-Xii (X), Exa Dark Sideræl (Y), and Techno Mechanicus (Tau). Since their split, the ex-couple has been involved in a custody battle, with both parties filing petitions to establish parental rights.
Previousl, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has made his fascination with space well-known. Although he hasn’t traveled to space himself, Musk has a $178 million contract with NASA to help explore Jupiter’s moon Europa. This ambition for space exploration has shaped Musk’s public image and likely inspired Rodrigo and Grimes’ comments.
Grimes’ family accuses Musk of withholding their children.
In a series of social media posts, Grimes’ mother, Sandy Garossino, accused Musk of withholding their children’s passports.
She expressed frustration that Musk didn’t allow the children to visit their dying great-grandmother, despite previously agreeing to it.
In her posts, Garossino wrote, “She was thrilled for the kids’ planned visit… But those hopes were crushed when the trip was canceled.” Garossino further questioned why Musk attended the 2024 Paris Olympics with their eldest son but not the other two children.
The exchange between Grimes, Rodrigo, and Musk highlights the tension surrounding their differing ambitions. With Grimes’ subtle comment and Rodrigo’s unusual dating criteria, the two singers have sparked a wider conversation on dating and aspirations.
