Elon Musk reportedly believed that ex-partner Grimes (real name: Claire Elise Boucher) was a "simulation" that he'd created in his mind.
According to Devin Gordon who appeared in the BBC's new docuseries, The Elon Musk Show, Musk thought that Grimes was his "perfect companion" but not "real".
"She [Grimes] told me repeatedly that Musk has this theory of her that she’s not real," Gordon said on the TV show. "That she’s a simulation who was created by him and exists in his cerebral cortex as sort of the perfect companion to him. Which sounds a little crazy and maybe even a little creepy, except, she agrees with it. She said she does feel like this simulation which was perfectly created for him."
"Her interests are all the same as his and her music is very technologically oriented," Gordon added, going on to explain that they "both made a similar nerdy joke about a scary AI theory of the future."
Musk and Grimes have dated on-and-off since 2018 and share two children, two-year-old XÆ A-12 and 10-month-old Exa Dark. The couple called time on their romance in 2021, although Grimes has said there’s "no real word" for the current status of their relationship.
"I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid," she told Vanity Fair earlier this year. "We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it."
