In 2020, the happy couple of Grimes and Tesla billionaire Elon Musk welcomed their first child, a boy named X Æ A-12 Musk. Since then, Grimes’ public life, which was already wild, has grown even more complicated. Today brings some heavy new revelations. A new Vanity Fair cover story on Grimes touches on a great many things, including her forthcoming album Book 1 and her relationship with Musk. But the most pressing news is this: Grimes and Elon Musk now have a second baby, a girl named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk. They call her Y.

Another great bit here:

“Grimes also says that she and Musk plan to have more kids. As for the cognitive dissonance of a once-leftist artist being in a relationship with the world’s richest man, Grimes gets philosophical:”

I mean, when people say I’m a class traitor that is not… an inaccurate description. I was deeply from the far left and I converted to being essentially a capitalist Democrat. A lot of people are understandably upset… But at the same time, like, bro wouldn’t even get a new mattress… Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line. To the point where I was like, can we not live in a very insecure $40,000 house? Where the neighbors, like, film us, and there’s no security, and I’m eating peanut butter for eight days in a row?

Marx failed to consider a rich guy who has an old bed.

    nobody mentioned the WORST part of the whole thing:

    "We keep having this conversation where E’s like, “Are you real? Or are we living in my memory, and you’re like a synthesized companion that was created to be my companion here?”… The degree to which I feel engineered to have been this, like, perfect companion is crazy… Even just studying astrophysics and neuroscience. And it’s really annoying because people think I’m an airhead who went to art school."

    the neural damage this position and the entire presupposition of it and the fact that she ACTUALLY RELEASED SONGS about this idea publicly with no shame :agony-minion:

    when posthuman feminism is actually redefining the entire constitution of femininity to cater atomically to the male gaze :agony-deep:

      sounds like shit a normal sane guy would say.

        It's a large part of why I hate "simulation theory" bloviating so much. It's a favorite hobby for bored techbro vampires, and it lets them pretend everyone else is just NPCs in their destroy the planet speedrun.
