Elon Musk Fathered Twins With Top Neuralink Executive In 2021: Report
Elon Musk quietly welcomed twins with Shivon Zilis, one of his top executives, in November 2021, Business Insider reports. According to the outlet, who claim to have reviewed court documents, Musk and Zilis filed a petition to change the twins’ names in order to “have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name.” The appeal was reportedly approved by an Austin, Texas judge in May 2022, per Insider, who withheld the kids’ names to protect their privacy. The twins were allegedly born weeks before the Tesla CEO fathered his second child with Grimes, his now-ex. Following the proliferation of Insider‘s report, Musk, who occasionally produces electronic music and has long ch...
Grimes Admits to Involvement In Hack That Disrupted Indie Music Blog
Grimes is making it clear she isn’t going to take any Internet backlash sitting down. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Grimes revealed what she calls her “coolest hacker moment,” reflecting on her inventive approach to dealing with some unfair press that rattled her career in 2012. A photo snapped of Grimes at a party—where she was seen kissing a friend—had been leaked to the now defunct publication, Hipster Runoff. Grimes explained that the story Hipster Runoff published was mean-spirited and made her the subject of a viral meme during a formative time in her career. So she decided to take action, contacting a friend at a video game company who coordinated a DDos attack on her behalf. DDos attacks are illegal in practice, so Grimes kept the story light on any revealing details. Scroll...
Grimes and Elon Musk Secretly Had a Second Baby In December 2021
It’s come to light that Grimes and Elon Musk secretly had another child. And the name isn’t quite as strange as their first baby—but still strange. In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, Grimes revealed that she gave birth to a new daughter in December 2021. Born via a surrogate, her name is Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and nicknamed “Y.” Grimes also said that her and the Tesla CEO plan on having more children “We’ve always wanted at least three or four,” she said. Grimes and Musk, who separated in September 2021, aren’t technically “together” at this time, but the former considers the latter her partner. “We’re best friends,” she told VF. “We see each other all t...
Watch Grimes’ Anime-Inspired Video For ‘Shinigami Eyes’
Grimes has released a new song ahead of her forthcoming double album, Book 1. “Shinigami Eyes” is pure electro-pop and features Blackpink’s Jennie. The title (and Grimes’ big red eyes in the video) is inspired by the Japanese anime and film, Death Note, about a high school student who finds a book that allows him to kill anyone by writing their name on the pages. It’s unclear whether “Eyes” or her previously-released song “Player of Games” will appear on the new concept album. In a wide-ranging interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Grimes alluded to a less commercial “space opera” she wrote and that “Shinigami Eyes” is more like a one-off: “This is the label executive decision song,” she said in the interview. “I love the record, but it’s just like, everyone’s like, what’s the deeper m...

“A Drug From God”: Listen to Chris Lake and Grimes’ Hedonistic House Anthem
House music virtuoso Chris Lake has unveiled “A Drug From God,” a hotly anticipated collaboration with Grimes. “A Drug From God” is hedonistic in nature, blending Lake’s signature down-and-dirty basslines with the sumptuous art pop sound of Grimes.
