Grimes Takes Subtle Jab at Elon Musk Over His Outer Space Obsession

Grimes is keeping things down to Earth, throwing subtle shade at her ex, Elon Musk, and his out-of-this-world ambitions. The singer chimed in on Olivia Rodrigo’s recent comments about “space-obsessed” dating red flags, making her feelings about Musk’s Mars dreams unmistakably clear.

Olivia Rodrigo, known for her hits like Brutal, recently shared her unique dating criteria in an interview. “I always ask [guys] if they think that they would want to go to space. And if they say yes, I don’t date them,” she explained, hinting that a desire for space travel might reveal a certain type of ego. Rodrigo, who’s currently dating actor Louis Partridge, added, “I just think if you wanna go to space, you’re a little too full of yourself. I think it’s just weird.”

Grimes saw Rodrigo’s quote shared by PopCrave and didn’t hesitate to agree. The singer, who shares three children—X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus —with Musk, responded with a playful but pointed comment: “It’s true. Only women should be going to space.”

Grimes’ remark instantly sparked reactions across social media. Some fans poked fun at her history with Musk, with one user joking, “What happened last time you dated a guy who wanted to go to space?” Another chimed in, saying Grimes is uniquely qualified to comment, as she “has the most experience” dating a man with his eyes on the stars.

Grimes’ comments come amid an ongoing custody dispute with Musk following their 2022 split after four years of an on-again, off-again relationship. She recently filed a petition to establish parental rights, though the details remain private.

As Grimes and Musk continue to navigate their co-parenting dynamic, fans are left wondering if the singer’s latest remarks reflect more than just humor about space dreams—and hint at her feelings about Musk’s priorities.
