Kek. I had no clue that this was the message behind We Appreciate Power. Thank you Grimes for basically murdering Roko's Basilisk!

Addendum
​
I apologize for not including this in the OP, but adding it hits the character limit. Hope this supplement is enough.

Musk, Grimes and Rococo Basilisk ( 2018 )

So you may very rightfully be wondering, how the fuck did Claire go from this (at the time) niche-ish, incredibly popular on Tumblr, adored by Pitchfork indie musician with a dedicate fanbase to dating the worlds richest man practically overnight? Well it's simple...

Back in 2015, Claire released the music video for the first single from Art Angels titled 'Flesh Without Blood'. In this music video she introduces a handful of lore-based characters that appear in other Art Angels era music videos, but the most important one only appears here in Flesh Without Blood. That character is: Rococo Basilisk.

The character's name was derived from the thought experiment Roko’s Basilisk – a hypothesis of a future where AI lords over the world and could punish those who did not help it into existence – and Rococo – an 18th century architectural style originating in France, defined by dramatic and ornamental facets.
Now, Rococo was described by Claire as being
Doomed to be eternally tortured by an artificial intelligence, but she's also kind of like Marie Antoinette.

Rococo also died in Flesh Without Blood, so, there's that.

Now flash forward to 2018, Musk is toying around with the idea of tweeting Rococo Basilisk - probably thinking it to be something he just made up right then. Unfortunately, he discovered after a Google search that Claire had already made a full pun of this some 3 years prior and decided to reach out to her about it, and thus the most controversial relationship of the online era had begun.

Bonus Fun: Funnily enough, Claire was not the person who originally coined the term Rococo Basilisk. All credit for that goes to Claire's at the time, long term partner, James Brooks (now going by Jamie, transitioning after Claire left for Musk.)

Jamie goes in a little on time spent with Claire in a very quickly scrubbed Curiouscat ask from 2018 (spoiler: Claire's a control freak, Jamie's a feminist doormat)
Anon: Hi, I asked you about you daily job (once!) because I believe that you are the real song writer and producer behind grimes.
I don't expect you to admit anything or to write back but a lot of grimes fans are suspect that and from good reasons. just look at the time line. Anyway, that is probably the reason you get asked that a lot and people gonna ask you that till your ex will produce something reasonable

elite_gz: pfft

gr*mes is one of my least favorite people on the planet, believe me, if i had secretly been behind her music this whole time i would have told people by now. i didn't meet her until spring 2012, at which time the album that broke her had already been completed and released. furthermore, i was rarely more than 20 feet away from her at all times from fall 2012 to spring 2018. no one else was working on her music. she made art angels by herself, and she made 2-3 albums worth of additional stuff during that time period by herself that's at a similar level of quality

i did not have creative involvement on her music during that period of time beyond like, suggesting world princess 2 should be a full song instead of an interlude and helping sequence the tracklist. i did all kinds of business stuff, emails, meetings, typing up treatments, the title cards and credit pages for most of the videos ("roccoco basilisk" was me unfortunately, so that whole thing is technically my fault sorry), housework, monitoring social media to report threats to the FBI (many of which also targeted me)

it consumed my life for like five years - i wasn't unhappy to be doing that work bc i felt and continue to feel strongly that the lack of women in prominent technical roles in music and other industries is at the root of a lot of the major problems in culture and society and i felt like every success she achieved help put a dent in that problem. i still think that was a worthwhile use of my time even though i wasn't paid for any of it and once i got dumped for a tech billionaire she turned heel on me and told me i had been more of a burden than a help and that i didn't deserve any credit for any of the work i had done on her behalf, badgering me to sign an NDA that would have required me to submit all future public statements and creative works to her for approval under threat of jail time and ultimately leaving me with nothing

i guess i tell you this for two reasons

to protect the integrity of the work i did by assuring people in the strongest possible terms that she did do all that work herself and that not only was it possible for her to do that kind of work, she was better at it than any of the men i knew during that period who did AAA pop production

to register my contention that generally, individuals who achieve what looks like individual greatness are not doing it on their own. history's great men all had wives, they all had teams of people behind them, and there's a lot of work that is necessary for that level of achievement that is undervalued and dismissed by the way laws and society calculate the value of things. no i did not secretly write and produce anyone's music for them, but also i was doing all kinds of unglamorous shit that was extremely important and if you notice a big change in that project since i stopped being involved with it, that's at least partly why. wives are important. respect wives

I dont know if celebrities can really qualify as cows but God damn is this bitch cringe. Grimes would probably be an all time mega-cow if she didn't get lucky for more than a decade straight.

There's a handful of celebrity cow threads, although it's usually has-beens and washouts.

The thread looks good so far, it just needs more archival. After that I'd say it's already set to be moved.

lol, I was thinking this too. as soon as things started going sour she immediately launched into ranting about whypipo and DEY JUS JELISS like damn dude. typical niggerly behavior. especially considering her hair, fashion, etc. is all white as fuck, imagine some niggerfied C-list musical celebrity like Machine Gun Kelly going to collab with some black artists and posting a public rant on his snapgrams or whatever calling them "FUCKING NIGGERS" who ran out on him cause they're jealous of his talent. that dude would be dog food as soon as his finger hit the post button. but Azealia is a typical story among awful black music artists anyway - she's a former stripper who got picked up by a mega-famous producer after releasing one single, lol, no wonder she thinks she's some kind of hyper-talented music prodigy. recently she declared the entire country of Australia wayciss

“I am a beautiful black woman and I am not going to get in front of some audience of white people for them to be throwing shit at me.

"I am so not sorry. I am not sorry at all. Brisbane, y’all are just going to have to take the L and smoke it.”

“This place makes me utterly miserable and I’m too black and beautiful to have a bunch of white people in my face playing with me over their weak ass currency.”
