Grimes And Elon Musk Reveal Third Child, Techno Mechanicus, In New Biography
In a new Elon Musk biography written by Walter Isaacson, Elon Musk revealed that he and Grimes have a third child. The existence of their new baby, named Techno Mechanicus, or Tau for short, has been kept a secret until now. Musk and Grimes waited months to announce their second child, Exa Dark Sidereal Musk, in 2022. Their first child, X Æ A-12 or X, was born in 2020.
Grimes and Elon Musk first went public with their relationship at the 2018 Met Gala. In 2021, the couple announced that they were "half divorced." In a new Musk biography, Grimes describes how he views his anger as "monster mode." He says it “creates a lot of chaos” but allows him to be productive.
Musk has 10 children from three wives, including Sivan Gillis, CEO of Neuralink, who reports directly to him. Gilles gave birth to twins in 2021 when Musk offered to donate sperm so that "the children would be genetically his," author Isaacson wrote. “He wanted to have children by really smart people,” Gillis explained in the biography. This happened while Grimes was expecting a second child from the billionaire. Musk apparently didn't tell her that he had twins with one of his employees.
“Tell Sivon to block me and let Elon let me see my son or please answer my lawyer,” Grimes wrote to Isaacson last week in a now-deleted post on X (the platform owned by Musk, formerly known as Twitter): "Until Today, despite the circumstances that completely destroyed the family, I was never allowed to see photos of these children."
Grimes' latest album, Miss Anthropocene , was released in 2020. Since then, she has shared the songs "I Wanna Be Software", "Welcome to the Opera", "Shinigami Eyes" and "Player of Games". Grimes also released software capable of duplicating his voice and offers artists 50-50 royalties for commercial use.
Musicians are already using AI more frequently than we think
This is profoundly wrong and goes beyond the rise of ChatGPT. AI tools will and already are changing the way music is created.
