Bro lives at times below the poverty line. Still: “Bro does not live like a billionaire. When she raised the issue, he suggested they replace his mattress with the one at her house. Her side of the mattress had a hole in it. “Like, bro wouldn’t even get a new mattress.” This was back when they were both living in Los Angeles. “But at the same time…” I can physically observe her brain cells saying screw it. A lot of people are understandably upset.” “I was deeply from the far left and I converted to being essentially a capitalist Democrat. “I mean, when people say I’m a class traitor that is not…an inaccurate description,” she admits. She’s 34, now, though, with a job and two kids. During her first shows as Grimes, she’d sleep in a tent when she couldn’t afford a hotel. The police impounded the boat and sent them on their way. Once she and a boyfriend ran afoul of the police in Minnesota as they tried to sail a houseboat they’d built out of actual junk down the Mississippi River. “I used to be so far left that I went through a period of living without currency, living outside.” This was during and after college at McGill University in Montreal. “I feel really trapped between two worlds,” Grimes tells me. Decades from now, it’ll still sound like a revolution. Maim” is the perfect crash course on her music-just your garden-variety pop disquisition on the inexorable pull toward brutality and chaos. Overnight, a chunk of her core constituency-the internet-turned on her. For Grimes, the dent to her reputation has been real. ![]() ![]() (He tweeted “Rococo basilisk” years earlier, she’d made a music video featuring a character called Rococo Basilisk.) While the world was huddled indoors, Tesla took off like a BFR-that’s an inside joke for the SpaceX junkies in the house-sending Musk’s net worth into the stratosphere, and he seemed to delight in provoking his trolls. She connected with Musk through Twitter in 2018, which is how he discovered they’d made the same pun about a dark theory of A.I.-authorized torture called Roko’s basilisk. Grimes was a musical autodidact who went viral in 2010 with some of the very first songs she made on GarageBand, then spent a decade creating every single note in a male-dominated industry, no matter how much unrequested help men kept offering. “We’ve always wanted at least three or four.” We just need to be free.” They plan to have more children too. We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it.” What matters, I offer, is that they’re happy. “I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid. “There’s no real word for it,” she begins. So, wait-are Grimes and Musk still together? It was scary.” She and Musk wanted more kids, but she feared serious complications. So I would just crawl to the bathroom and crawl back or whatever.” At one point during the pregnancy, she thought she was dying. It was kind of scary, because you don’t want to fall a lot when you’re eight months pregnant. “He was pressing on my nerves, so I kept collapsing,” she says. The last month of her pregnancy with X, she couldn’t walk. Grimes, meanwhile, used to get called “waifish” so often in profiles that she railed against it in a viral 2013 Tumblr post. “I was like, ‘I feel like he’s going to be a peaceful giant.’ ” She was right. When Grimes was pregnant with X in 2020, she had a clear sense of the boy he’d turn out to be.

It’s a girl! “She’s a little colicky too.” She laughs again and buries her face in her hands. Now we both start laughing.ĭid she really think I wasn’t going to hear a baby? It’s a calming period that breaks with a sitcom punch line: full-blown infant screams upstairs, followed by the voice of a woman pleading SHH. I suggest we pause for a moment to discuss the surreal professional ethics at play, which are that I can’t pretend I don’t know she’s got a secret baby with the world’s wealthiest man hiding upstairs. She’s rattled, and I’m mortified by even accidentally making a woman-a new mother, no less-feel exposed and vulnerable.
