Welcome to another chapter in the bizarre saga of Azealia Banks/Grimes/Elon Musk!

Azealia Banks — who claims she was abandoned by Grimes and trapped in Elon Musk’s mansion while he tripped acid — has been dropping juicy screenshots hinting at the unfolding drama in her Instagram stories. 

On Tuesday, Banks posted a screenshot of a conversation between her and an unnamed source. She circled a text that said, “I made you look really good today. The attorneys like you and said you’re smart.”

Elon Musk’s muskiest moments of 2018, so far

TwitterFacebook

Few people have had a wide-ranging — and weird —  2018 as SpaceX and Telsa head Elon Musk. He’s made new friends, hit new milestones, and managed to make a lot of people mad. 

Musk has always been a bit of an enigma, but, so far in 2018, he’s become an even bigger, head-scratching figure. Musk has been generating buzz from a new relationship, selling flamethrowers (yes, flamethrowers) just because, trying to help rescue kids trapped in a cave, and sounding an awful lot like President Trump in attacking the media.

It all adds up to a very unique year for a very unique person and the year is only halfway through.  Read more…

TwitterFacebook

Tesla owners must be blasting Visions through the streets of Palo Alto because Grimes streams are up … way up. 

Spotify told Mashable that streams of Grimes songs increased 124 percent on May 8 compared to the same time the previous week. 

What happened? On May 7, the world found out that Grimes — whose real name is now, um, c is dating Tesla CEO and flamethrower salesman Elon Musk.

Elon Musk and Grimes are being the world’s nerdiest couple, again.

Originally born Claire Boucher, Grimes announced on Thursday that she’s legally changing her name to just c, which is the measurement for the speed of light in a vacuum. She tweeted a screenshot of the Wikipedia article about it, adding “this will be much better.” Grimes also specified the name c will be lowercase and italicized.
