Grimes Faces Backlash For Claiming Billionaire Ex Elon Musk 'Lives At Times Below The Poverty Line'

That Grimes interview is so bad, the whole "Elon lives below the poverty line because he invests in his Mars project for the sake of humanity" is just wild. \n\nWhen will rich people understand: playing poor is not the same as being poor.

I like @Grimezsz sounds, but intellectually, jeez. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever read such bollocks. Perhaps she needs to learn a bit about true poverty about the role a complete lack of choice plays in poverty.https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/grimes-elon-musk-baby-mars-b2033805.html\u00a0\u2026

Choosing to "eat peanut butter 8 days in a row" isn't "living below the poverty line." There's a level of anxiety and unsurety that comes with poverty, that Musk will never feel no matter how hard he slums it.\n\nhttps://www.buzzfeed.com/emilymaeczachor/grimes-elon-musk-doesnt-live-like-a-billionaire?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitter\u00a0\u2026 via @buzzfeed

What a load of crap. He can step so far over that line anytime he wants! An insult to anyone struggling to put food on the table...\n\nGrimes says Elon Musk sometimes lives \u2018below the poverty line\u2019: \u201cI\u2019m eating peanut butter for eight days in a row\u201dhttps://www.independent.co.uk/tech/grimes-elon-musk-baby-mars-b2033805.html\u00a0\u2026

Grimes said Elon Musk lives in an \u201cinsecure 40,000 house below the poverty line.\u201d This is apparently the house. Like wow. I too live in a studio apartment. pic.twitter.com/igAOaBPmmP

Isn\u2019t Grimes herself a multi-millionaire? So do her and Elon cosplay poverty for fun? For the aesthetics? She could have bought herself a new mattress anytime she wanted. Elon is gross but she\u2019s not broke is still choosing to be with him. https://twitter.com/FemDatStrat/status/1502433682509877249\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/F3c1XbzOcJ

Living in poverty means you have no safety net and don\u2019t know where your next meal is coming from. It also means taking a bus to travel if your lucky? Maybe Elon can fly coach next time?

I usually love when two weirdos get together and are weirdos together in love but I\u2019m going to need Grimes to shut up about how Elon \u201clives below\u201d the poverty line when the dude is a billionaire and there is kids starving in every community in the \u201crichest\u201d country in the world

Grimes saying she & Elon lived below the poverty line is an actual joke theyre both so out of touch with reality it\u2019s insane
