Earlier on Monday, Page Six reported that Musk and Grimes have been "quietly dating," according to an unnamed source. The gossip rag said the pair met online about a month ago, after Musk saw on a joke about artificial intelligence that Grimes made and reached out.
Musk, 46, is the founder of Tesla and SpaceX and has a net worth around $20.1 billion.
Claire Boucher, known professionally as Grimes, has received widespread acclaim for her lip-smacking blend of pop, electronic, indie rock, and noise music. Her studio album "Visions" was hailed as "one of the most impressive albums of the year so far" by The New York Times in 2012.
The two are as unlikely a match as Musk and Amber Heard, his ex-girlfriend actress.
As celebrities arrived on the red carpet at the Met Gala, Twitter was abuzz awaiting the first public appearance of Musk and Grimes together. They were not disappointed.
