Tesla CEO Elon Musk started dating Grimes (real name: Claire Elise Boucher), a Canadian musician, in 2018. After welcoming their second child together, the two broke up in 2022. In a recent interview with Wired, Grimes opened up about her relationship with the billionaire. She revealed that dating Musk was like the 'best internship ever'.
She stated, “I learned from him, like, the best internship ever. People don’t like talking about Elon, but it was incredible to be right there watching all that SpaceX stuff happen. That’s a master class in leadership and engineering and makes you understand how rare it is to have a leader of that quality.”
