    Venkatesh Rao Retweeted Keifer? I Hardly Know Her

    Is this true? I don’t really know who grimes is other than musician married to Musk. Are there people invested in them as a couple who are interested both in tech and whatever kind of music she does?https://twitter.com/dannyvegito/status/1265313386667130882 …

        Hardcore Grimes fans are horrified by her choice of baby daddy, I would guess. She's always been a lodestar for the anti-capitalist artistic-noise crowd. But I think Elon Musk-ers really dig that he turned her toward the Dark Side. There are some serious Padme/Anakin parallels

        they understand internet culture well enough and are independently popular enough to have a diehard fanbase of people who love to hate them

        I think their fan bases were mostly unaware of the other celebrity before they started dating

        i was familiar with both of them well before they got together, and it felt really surreal when i found out they got together (and that it had to do with a roko's basilisk joke)! i'm not really invested in them as a couple though, honestly they just seem to make each other worse

        I didn’t think they were married. I would say it’s an awkward comparison. Fans of G+EM genuinely believe that they are highly gifted in their respective fields, but a lot of that is smart image control. non-fans of both think they are annoying.

        Grimes makes better music than Musk does cars and spacecraft.
