But Elon Musk took to social media on Tuesday night to set the record straight, telling New York Mag that "the choker is a bunch of spikes, not Tesla anything."
Us Weekly reports that the couple designed Grimes' dress together over a dinner date and commissioned a team to create the futuristic ensemble, according to an unnamed source. Musk wore a white tuxedo jacket and a collarless shirt.
Earlier Monday, Page Six described an unnamed source as saying Musk and Grimes have been "quietly dating." The gossip site said the pair met online about a month ago, after Musk saw on a joke about artificial intelligence that Grimes had made on Twitter and reached out.
