Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, media & arts, robotics/AI

Electronic music artist, generative AI enthusiast and on-off Elon Musk partner Claire “Grimes” Boucher seems to want to build bridges between the tech billionaire and the trans community he’s alienated so relentlesslly.

“I was like, ‘I want to dissect why you’re so stressed about this,’” the artist, who also goes by the letter c, told the magazine. “Getting to the heart of what Elon says helps me get to the heart of what other people’s issues are, because it’s this über guy situation.”
