I read most of that vanity fair article and she just comes across as so out of touch to me. I think she's incredibly creative and smart. But, I get the feeling like she also things she's better than everyone else because she's this wacky esoteric fae being.

I have the opposite feeling, I do not think she's half as smart as her PR team wants us to believe.
Everything she said came out as pretty vapid and dumb to me, like that kind of crap:

A conversation with Grimes can be like staring at a Tokyo subway map when you don’t speak Japanese. She’s always using scientific terms and alluding to heady concepts, then checking with me to make sure I know what they mean because usually I do not. If there’s an airhead in this room, it’s not her.

“Do you know what a protopia is?” No. (A state of gradual progress toward utopia.)

“Effective altruism?” I mean, I know what those words mean. (Using data analysis to maximize resource deployment to help others.)

“The Overton window?” I thought so, but I looked it up while she was in the bathroom and I was wrong. (The spectrum of accepted discourse and achievable ideas.)

“What about neuroplasticity?” Now I’m worried she just thinks I’m stupid.

this is exactly the type of shit my students always tried, using super specific and "fancy" words to hide the fact that the content is vapid and / or non existent.
As one of my literature teacher used to say about our over-use of quotes "it's the one tree that tries to hide the absence of a forest", and I get the exact same feeling from her here.

I mean, how pretentious is saying this:

Book 1 alludes to Athena, Calypso, Persephone, the black swan, Anne Boleyn, courtesans, concubines, geishas. “These weren’t just hot girls,” she says. “They were the smartest girls, some of the most educated women of their time.” They painted, sang, designed their own clothing. They were the Grimeses of their day.

when your lyrics are that:

And then they got written into history as some rich guy’s sidepiece. “I ate my cake / I lost my head / Villain of the internet,” Grimes sings on a Police-inflected track from Book 1 called “Marie Antoinette 2077.”

Yeah Grimes, that definitely reads "smartest, most educated woman of the time" lol
I do agree on the remark that women got written into history as sidepieces though. My Master's thesis was on one of those women.

Maybe I'm biased because she just rubs me the wrong way, even though I find her visually interesting. I really like her futuristic fairycore aesthetic, and every Van Herpen dress she wore was just * chef's kiss*

Anyone remember the articles Musk's first wife wrote following their divorce? About his control issues, his robotic coldness when humans disappointed him by acting like humans?

And then here's Grimes, thinking she's vastly more intelligent, more cosmically aligned and evolved than everyone else... He's going to eat her up and spit her out.

maybe, maybe not. maybe grimes is so high maintenance that he remains intrigued. but he already has so many kids ...

If I were making a list of insufferable idiot asshole couples, they'd be close to the top of the list. Luckily for them, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin also exist.

Singer Grimes raised eyebrows after claiming she simply couldn’t afford to buy a house without ex Elon Musk’s financial help.

The “Genesis” hitmaker, who shares two children with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, took to Twitter on Monday to ask her followers to join her in petitioning against rising house prices in Texas.


“My fellow Texans! Petitions can feel useless but I guarantee local politicians are taking these seriously,” she tweeted.

“Plz sign to reduce housing costs in Austin. There’s effective legislation on the table here but we need public support.”

But despite her good intentions, some followers criticized the singer for petitioning for something that they claimed didn’t affect her.


“Grimes you are set, your opinion on ‘the housing market’ is invalid,” wrote one Twitter user.

It wasn’t long before the mom-of-two responded, writing, “First of all I couldn’t afford to buy a house that fits my kids in Austin atm without help from their dad which is INSANE cuz I’m a p[retty] successful artist.”

“Secondly, these aren’t my opinions, I’ve just agreed to help out some actual experts/ policy makers,” she added.

The critic doubled-down, adding, “That’s what I’m meaning, their dad will help and get it done. You’re set.”
What do you think? Post a comment.

It seems as though Grimes isn’t the only one Musk supports financially.

The billionaire recently revealed that he and his brother, Kimbal, have provided financial backing for their father Errol since he “ran out of money” decades ago.

I am guessing that the pivot is the "fits my kids"
