In case you haven't heard,eroticized. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and electronica musician Grimes are now dating.
The duo apparently bonded over a niche and very nerdy joke and have subtly been flirting on Twitter for about a month.
SEE ALSO: Elon Musk and Grimes are dating thanks to a super nerdy jokeThey made their public debut at the Met Gala on Monday night, with Musk in a standard white tuxedo and Grimes sporting a Gothic robot-looking ensemble.
The internet quickly noticed that this pairing of nerdy dude and edgy girl seemed familiar. Very familiar, in fact, and images of "Elon Musk and Grimes" quickly started to flood Twitter.
The most popular comparison was Scott Pilgrim's Ramona Flowers and Gideon Graves, which you won't be able to unsee.

But they were not just limited to Scott Pilgrim.
It's a pretty simple formula, really: take a geeky or intellectual (or both) dude character and find a pic of him with a darkly-dressed counterculture female and there you have it.

Some opted to cast a slightly different light on Elon's character, though the Grimes stand-ins were still standard "edgy" girls.

Congrats to the new couple. May they follow in the footsteps of their many, many dopplegangers -- though maybe without the world domination part.
