Grimes says Elon Musk 'lives at times below the poverty line' and would not buy a new mattress despite her side having a hole in it

Speaking with 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, she said, 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," Grimes said, per 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?"

The hole wasn’t on his side of the mattress, now, was it?

Why couldn’t she buy a mattress on her own?

So many questions, so little interest...

I suspect part of the issue may be — “Do you love me? Or do you love my money?”

If he’s not spending the money on her, but simply giving himself to her — is she happy? Or does she feel that she ain’t gettin’ what she really wanted?

He is heavily invested in and wholly interested in his businesses, particularly Space X. He’s interested in doing not spending..

The ability to get is more comforting than to have.

It's not news, it's gossip. That's why it's in "Chat" not "News".

I know a couplethree millionaires. You would never have guessed, not even by their vehicles.

Know a few more; they are not as inconspicuous...

Musk’s mind is focused on efficiency and economizing… whether it’s fuel..or battery power..or mattresses.

Could be.

I knew a guy who, for the first date would tell her it was casual and would take her to a burger joint. They had really good burgers but it was not at all in line with what some women expected on a first date from a guy with money.

Said it helped him weed out the gold diggers.
