Elon Musk believes his ex-girlfriend Grimes is so perfect she must be a figment of his imagination
msn.comElon Musk, the tech titan believes that ex-girlfriend Grimes is so perfect that she must be a simulation he created in his mind, according to a new BBC documentary.
The same documentary, called The Elon Musk Show, then goes on to say that Grimes actually agrees with the theory. The Canadian singer was already 31 when she met Musk but those three decades in existence appear not to have swayed her too much when considering the theory.
Vanity Fair journalist Devin Gordon says that Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, shared with him Musk's mind-bending theory in a recent interview. 'She told me repeatedly that Musk has this theory of her that she's not real, that she's a simulation who was created by him and exists in his cerebral cortex as sort of the perfect companion to him,' he says. '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. 'Musk has flirted before with the philosophical concept that our reality - and all of us in it - is just a simulation in a computer somewhere in another reality that we can never access or perceive - known as the 'simulation theory'. 'If you assume any rate of improvement at all, games will eventually be indistinguishable from reality,' Musk said on the Joe Rogan Experience in 2018, before concluding: 'We're most likely in a simulation. ' The Tesla mogul and the dream pop star had met originally over Twitter, when the duo enjoyed a tech-based joke, and they made their first public appearance together at the Met Gala in 2018. 'They've been seeing each other but have been keeping their relationship under the radar,' a source said at the time.
