- Grimes said her on-again, off-again partner Elon Musk sometimes lives below the 'poverty line.'
- She revealed that Musk would not get a new mattress despite her side having a hole in it.
- "Bro does not live like a billionaire," Grimes told Vanity Fair.
Grimes revealed in an interview published this week that her on-again, off-again partner Elon Musk — the world's richest person — sometimes lives "below the poverty line."
Speaking to Vanity Fair, the musician recalled how they had once found a hole in her side of the mattress while living in Los Angeles. Instead of buying a new one, Musk suggested that they bring over the mattress from her home instead.
"Like, bro wouldn't even get a new mattress," she told the publication.
"Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line," said Grimes, reported Vanity Fair. "To the point where I was like, can we not live in a very insecure $40,000 house? Where the neighbors, like, film us, and there's no security, and I'm eating peanut butter for eight days in a row?"
Grimes also told the publication about how dating the richest person in the world made her feel "trapped between two worlds."
"I mean, when people say I'm a class traitor that is not an inaccurate description," she said, per the outlet. "I was deeply from the far left and I converted to being essentially a capitalist Democrat. A lot of people are understandably upset."
In the same interview, Grimes revealed that she and Musk have a secret second child together, a baby girl they call "Y." The couple's older son, X Æ A-Xii — pronounced "X A.I. Archangel" — was born in May 2020. Y, whose name is Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, was conceived via a surrogate, and is Musk's seventh child.
Musk told Page Six in September that he and Grimes had broken up after three years of dating. The billionaire has recently been spotted with Australian actress Natasha Bassett.
