As you may or may not have heard, longtime couple and resident celeb eccentrics Grimes and Elon Musk have split, kind of.
After being together for three years, Elon said in a statement to Page Six, βWe are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently, and are on great terms.β
Naturally, Twitter had a lot of thoughts, because β love 'em or hate 'em β they are a pair that fascinates, compels, and elicits some degree of musing, if ironically. Below are some of the best reactions:
1. I love a good (nay, great and glorious) pun.
