Since Elon Musk and Grimes appeared together for the first time at the 2018 Met Gala , Twitter has been in love and appalled but mostlyconfusedby this odd pairing who first bonded over an obscure joke aboutRococo Basilisk . Now , in the latest Grimes - Musk ( Grisk ? ) news , the indie music dearie has announced she plan to de jure change her name to – hold back for it – the speed of light symbolc , formally substantiate the pair ’s position as the existence ’s nerdiest dyad .
That ’s right . Grimes , formerly sleep with as Claire Boucher , will presently be calledcBoucher – go along the first name down case and italicize , of course . But lover need not worry as she will be keep her stage soubriquet stain .
Claire , she explain , has been " the bane of [ her ] existence since [ she ] became sentient ” . This is down to a speech communication check that makes the name severely to pronounce.c , she tell , " will be much better " .
declare the news on Twitter , Grimes wrote , " claire has been the bane of my existence since i became sentient … i can just say it w my actor’s line impediment altho c is technically worse 4 lisp ” .
So , now you might be wonder , does Grimes ' new bf Elon Musk , who you might also eff as the billionaire tekki responsible for for fellowship ’s like Tesla , SpaceX , and the Boring Company , have anything to do with this late development ?
After all , there have already been a few eyebrows raised overthe chokerGrimes ( orc ) tire out to the Met Gala , which the mates atomic number 27 - design and look suspiciously like the Tesla logo . But while Musk has been supportive of her determination , friends have been calling hercfor a while . However , she did tot , Musk opine the new name " rox " .
She answer to a user inquire if it was Musk ’s influence by order , “ been try 2 change name 4ever but could n’t find a gud 1 , but my friend call me c ” .
Grimes would n’t be the first to de jure change her name to something a little , ahem , more unusual . Names the great unwashed have pluck in the preceding includeOptimus Prime , King Arthur Uther Pendragon , andCaptain Fantastic(or , if you require the foresightful variation , Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined ) .
