How the love story of Elon Musk and Grimes became a bitter custody battle

Grimes, born Claire Boucher, and Elon Musk made headlines when they first revealed their relationship in 2018. The pairing was unexpected: Grimes, known for her experimental music and avant-garde aesthetic, and Musk, the tech mogul behind Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, represented two seemingly opposite worlds.

Fans of the couple were intrigued by their eccentricity—whether it was naming their first child X Æ A-12 or collaborating on ideas about artificial intelligence.
