In 2015, Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, created a charected named ‘Rococo Basilisk’ for a video of her song ‘Flesh Without Blood.’
‘I don’t know if you’ve heard of Roko’s Basilisk,’ she told Fuse. Adding that the charterer is ‘is doomed to be eternally tortured by an artificial intelligence, but she’s also kind of like Marie Antoinette.’
‘Elon was researching the idea of joking about Rococo Basilisk, and when he saw Grimes had already joked about it, he reached out to her,’ a source told the Post. ‘Grimes said this was the first time in three years that anyone understood the joke. They were both poking fun at AI.’
Grimes first shot to fame in 2012, with her album ‘Visions,’ which she followed up with in 2015 when she put out the acclaimed ‘Art Angels.’
Meanwhile Musk has been married three times, and twice to the same woman.
