Look, we’ve all posted weird shit on social media after a breakup. It’s essentially part of the healing process. Grimes is no different; she and her baby daddy, billionaire Elon Musk, broke up in September after three years together and she immediately started posting more to TikTok. Relatable! She’s previously had a history on the platform of trying to convince communists to give artificial intelligence a chance, only to have her sound become a TikTok trend mocking her. Last week, she posted a video about creating radical wealth distribution through video games, prompting her comment section to ask her if she’s aware she dated a billionaire. Did I mention she dated a billionaire? Someone with BILLIONS of dollars?
In between the Toks, Grimes released her latest single, “Player of Games,†and shared her thoughts on her breakup and heartache. It featured lyrics like, “If I loved him any less / I’d make him stay / But he has to be the best / player of games,†speaking to all of the e-girls and their ex-gamer boyfriends. While she mourns the loss of her partner, hopefully Grimes can find some joy in another popular breakup activity: watching people talk shit about your ex online.
