Another over-ambitious endeavor has blown up in the face of Elon Musk. The Tesla founder and space entrepreneur has officially broken up with musical artist Grimes, who is also the mother of their 1-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii Musk. (No, that’s not a typo.)
“We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms,” Musk told Page Six. “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.”
But it likely won’t be that cozy for long. Given that Musk is the richest person on the planet, there’s gotta be a child support hearing in his future. And where there’s family court, there’s bound to be mudslinging.
For now, allow us to indulge some serious schadenfreude by sharing with you the funniest tweets about the Elon Musk and Grimes breakup.

I thought they were going to stick together long enough for their divorce to incite the first space war.
