HOT NEWS: Elon Musk opened a livestream to play games, but ended up starring in a live soap opera with Ashley St. Clair and Grimes
What began as a casual gaming livestream hosted by Elon Musk quickly spiraled into something far more dramatic—and completely unexpected. Originally promoted as a lighthearted event where the Tesla and SpaceX CEO would take a break from his usual tech-heavy agenda to enjoy some downtime with video games, the stream took an unexpected turn when two surprise guests joined: political commentator Ashley St. Clair and pop icon Grimes, who also happens to be Musk’s former partner and the mother of two of his children.
What unfolded was less of a gaming session and more of a real-time soap opera playing out in front of thousands of live viewers. Tensions began to rise shortly after St. Clair joined the stream, sparking speculation from fans due to her recent interactions with Musk on social media. Viewers noted a flirty dynamic between the two, which only intensified when Grimes unexpectedly appeared on the stream. Her presence immediately shifted the tone of the broadcast, and things quickly escalated.
Grimes, known for her unfiltered style and avant-garde attitude, made a few cryptic remarks that many interpreted as subtle digs at both Musk and St. Clair. She brought up old memories, some lighthearted and others laced with tension, all while Musk attempted to keep the focus on the game. However, the awkward silences and glances exchanged between the three suggested something more complex was unfolding behind the scenes.
Comments from viewers flooded in, ranging from humorous memes to genuine concern. Some praised the spontaneity of the moment, saying it made the billionaire seem more human. Others felt the entire situation was uncomfortable, likening it to watching a personal argument air out in real time.
For Musk, who is no stranger to media attention and controversy, this livestream added another layer to his already complex public persona. Known for blurring the lines between personal and professional life, the billionaire has always kept fans and critics guessing. Yet, even by Musk standards, the events of this livestream seemed particularly unfiltered.
Ashley St. Clair, for her part, appeared poised but slightly caught off guard by Grimes’s entrance. Though she maintained a neutral tone throughout, social media analysts quickly dissected her every facial expression, word choice, and reaction. Within minutes, clips of the exchange began circulating on Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit, with hashtags like #MuskDrama and #GrimesReturns trending worldwide.
By the time the stream ended, very little gaming had actually occurred. Instead, fans were left with a whirlwind of emotions, speculations, and memes. While Musk has yet to make an official statement about the incident, it’s safe to say that what was meant to be a casual online hangout has become one of the most talked-about livestreams of the year.
Whether it was an unintentional moment of raw transparency or a carefully orchestrated spectacle, one thing is clear: when Elon Musk goes live, the world watches—and anything can happen.
