Grimes seemingly takes cryptic shots at Elon Musk in new single Player of Games

GRIMES has seemingly taken a cryptic shot at ex Elon Musk in her latest single.

Listeners began speculating that the song was about Musk, 50, after they heard lyrics that apparently referenced their relationship.

In the song, entitled Player of Games, the 33-year-old stated: “I’m in love with the greatest gamer, but he’ll always love the game more than he loves me.”

After three years together, the couple announced their split in September 2021.

Before becoming a millionaire at 27, Musk was reportedly creating video games.

The singer also said: “Sail away to the cold expanse of space, even love couldn’t keep you in your place.”

The Breakup

On September 24, 2021, Musk confirmed that he and Grimes had “semi-separated.”

“We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently, and are on great terms,” Musk told the outlet of their split.

He continued: “It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. 

“She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room.”

Since the birth of X Æ A-Xii, their son, last May, the couple has had a number of reported clashes including one surrounding the name of their son.

‘REBIRTH’

The couple began dating back in May 2018 and made their debut at the Met Gala that year.

Two years later, on May 5, 2020, the pair announced the arrival of their little boy, Musk’s sixth child.

They were most recently spotted at the 2021 Met Gala together, though Grimes walked the red carpet alone and Musk joined later on inside.

“I think having a baby was a big kind of like rebirth for me, like artistically,” Grimes told Vogue ahead of the gala, adding, “Like, it just like, I don’t know.”

In an interview in 2020, Grimes revealed she didn’t take any financial help from her then-boyfriend Musk.

She claimed she admired how he lived his life and put his money “into making the world better” to Business Insider.

She clarified that Musk does not fund her career and that she would feel guilt if he were to “divert funds from, like, Tesla to my stupid art project.”

The musician said: “Grimes is funded by Grimes. I can’t say the things I say and believe what I believe and then take money from my boyfriend.”
