Musk’s social media move follows Grimes’ introduction of new beau

In a move that has social media buzzing, tech mogul Elon Musk has unfollowed Canadian singer Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, on X (formerly known as Twitter). This development, keenly spotted by the alert bot account @BigTechAlert, coincides intriguingly with Grimes’ recent Instagram reveal of her new boyfriend, believed to be DJ Matteo “Anyma” Milleri, on March 23.

The timing of Musk’s unfollowing, estimated between March 23 and 24, has drawn considerable attention, especially given Musk’s subsequent follow of the @healyourdepress account, known for its positive content aimed at alleviating anxiety and depression. This juxtaposition has sparked commentary and speculation across social media platforms, highlighting the complex dynamics of Musk and Boucher’s post-breakup interactions.

Throughout their on-and-off relationship from 2018 to 2022, Musk and Grimes have had a history of making headlines with their social media behaviour, including multiple instances of Musk unfollowing Boucher. Their relationship, which brought them three children, has been characterized by its public nature and the occasional peek into their personal trials, including a noted “demon mode” Musk reportedly enters, as shared by Grimes with biographer Walter Isaacson.

The act of unfollowing an ex-partner, while common in the aftermath of a breakup, takes on additional layers in the context of Musk and Boucher’s ongoing legal disputes concerning the custody of their children. This latest unfollowing act may signify a move towards personal boundaries or a reflection of the complexities inherent in navigating post-relationship dynamics in the public eye.

Observers of Musk and Grimes’ past interactions might speculate on the possibility of this social media saga continuing to evolve. With both figures remaining prominent in their respective fields and the public sphere, the future of their online relationship remains a topic of keen interest and speculation.
