THE MET GALA gave everyone something to talk about last night. We had everything from a Rihanna chic to Chadwick Boseman raising the bar for men everywhere.

However, the biggest surprise of the night was learning that space enthusiast and all round tech dude Elon Musk is ‘quietly dating’ singer Grimes.

Musk who is a bit of an oddball recently tweeted that he wants to start a candy company which would make him a tech version of Willy Wonka. Kind of like if yer da had a midlife crisis and decided he wanted to put all his money into shoes for bees.

Anyway the unlikely pairing has got people talking.

grimes and elon musk is the worst thing that ever happened imo

The story of how they got together could be described as nerdy if not completely off the wall.

Elon Musk is dating Grimes and it has inspired the nuttiest tabloid story I’ve read in maybe my entire life pic.twitter.com/GSHzRvrwAn

People immediately started scanning the photo for clues.

if they are on the Met Gala red carpet can someone let me know if Grimes communicates with her eyes that she needs help please

Musk isn't exactly known for his humility.

Fun fact: While dancing with his first wife on their wedding day, Elon Musk said to her, “I am the alpha in this relationship.”

Of course we've seen this sort of pairing before.

In various shapes and forms.

People have now entirely reset their expectations.

Everybody else is freaking out over it but all I’ve taken from this news is that I could absolutely date Grimes.

— Carl Kinsella (@TVsCarlKinsella) May 8, 2018

I am offended Grimes did not consider to date me instead

— oraiste (@maypeanut) May 8, 2018

And have started imagining the worst possible thing.

I can't stop imagining Elon Musk trying to ride Grimes but she's freaked out bc he keeps blaring the Interstellar OST

— Adam (@RummHammm) May 7, 2018

There's some good theories out there about why Grimes is with him.

maybe Grimes is just hoping Elon Musk will do her like that car and blast her into space for free

— Lady MacDeath (@InfiniteJess) May 8, 2018

Grimes is dead right tbh get those coins sissy

— Co (@ConanGShore) May 8, 2018

And we're starting to get a little superstitious.

If 10,000 people register to vote before the deadline today, Grimes will break up with Elon Musk.

— Maria (Keenan) (@_mariakeenan) May 8, 2018

Either way, 2018 is turning out to be wild.

Checked Twitter between sleep and legitimately thought Grimes dating Elon Musk was part of a Melatonin-induced nightmare
