Grimes released her newest single "Player of Games" last week and left fans speculating whether her subtle lyrics about "the greatest gamer" are about ex-boyfriend Elon Musk. In the bouncy, electric heartbreak anthem, the 33-year-old singer sings about being in love with a "player of games," and makes space-related references. Meanwhile, the Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder, 50, is known to be an avid gamer. "I'm in love with the greatest gamer/ But he'll always love the game / More than he loves me," she sings. "Sail away / To the cold expanse of space / Even love / Couldn't keep you in your place." Grimes and Elon Musk.

At the time, the SpaceX founder told the New York Post's Page Six they were "semi-separated." "We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms," he said. "It's mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA." He added, "She's staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room." Musk and the musician were first romantically linked in May 2018, when they made their public debut at the Met Gala following his split from Amber Heard. Shortly after confirming she was expecting her first child in January 2020, the singer confirmed Musk was the baby's father in a digital cover story for Rolling Stone.

"I was really stressed when paparazzi wouldn't stop following me this wk but then I realized it was opportunity to troll," she wrote on Instagram, posting a screenshot of the photos in the New York Post with the headline, "Grimes seen reading Karl Marx following split with world's richest man Elon Musk." "Full disclosure I'm still living with E and I am not a communist (although there are some very smart ideas in this book -but personally I'm more interested in a radical decentralized UBI that I think could potentially be achieved thru crypto and gaming but I haven't ironed that idea out enough yet to explain it. Regardless my opinions on politics are difficult to describe because the political systems that inspire me the most have not yet been implemented)," Grimes continued. Close
