Grimes has released a new song from their upcoming album Book 1. The track is called “Player of Games” and seems like a not-so-subtle song about that. to be The musician’s four-year relationship and the recent breakup with the 50-year-old Tesla CEO and internet troll Elon Musk.

Apparently, Musk really loves the game and is the greatest gamer but not a great lover or friend provided the song is actually about him. (Which is probably great.)

“Player of Games” was released on December 2nd and according to Grimes, it is the beginning of a new eraas she prepares to market and release her next album, Book 1. And it seems that the first track released from it refers directly to the relationship between Grimes and Eventuals September Break up with musk.

I wasn’t really aware of the song’s existence until someone posted the lyrics on Twitter. I assumed they were posting shit. Make up for it all for some stupid nonsense. But no, the new song actually contains lyrics like “I’m in love with the greatest player. But he will always love the game, more than me ”and“ Sail away into the cold expanse of space. Even love couldn’t keep you in your place. “

The “greatest player” here seems to be a direct reference to Elon Musk, someone who at some point followed suit Kotaku on twitter and who is known to play video games and even shared game-related memes on the internet. (If I were a billionaire, I’d never touch the internet again, let alone Twitter, but that’s just me.)

Most likely, “game” is not a direct reference to a particular game, but rather a play on words. We know that Elon once read a book by Iain M. Banks, entitled “The Player of Games” which, after Musk, contained a “compelling picture of a great, semi-utopian galactic future”. In this context, “game” likely means Tesla’s deal with, its stake in SpaceX, and its continued attempts to do so shitty subway alternatives with electric cars and expensive tunnels.

Or maybe he sold back then “flamethrower“They were just big, expensive lighters. Or … he likes GTA Online much. Who can say that? Just Grimes Really knows and she’s too busy remembering why she and Musk tried to name their child X Æ A-12.

It’s not shocking to hear that Musk may not be the world’s best friend considering that he abused employees physically and verballyShe has had “immature” moments and meltdowns, in Grimes’ own words on twitter and once called a man who tries to save children from a deadly situation a “pedo type.“Yeah, doesn’t seem like a great friend. But a great player … I can buy that.
