A reflection in a photo of Elon Musk and Kanye West appears to show Grimes taking the picture – Insider – INSIDER

On Wednesday, Kanye West tweeted a photo of himself and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, presumably hanging out at Musk's house. The two have been friends for a while Musk wrote West's Time 100 blurb in 2015, saying his friend "does think. Constantly. About everything."

Despite the ongoing friendship, the photo generated waves online, racking up more than 273,000 likes in just a few hours. Its engagement outpaced some of West's tweets from earlier in the week, like the one in which he congratulated his wife, Kim Kardashian West, on "becoming a billionaire" with a photo of some vegetables.

The photo of West and Musk bore a simple caption: "When you go to your boys house and you're both wearing orange," followed by the orange emoji.

There's a lot to unpack in this photo, and Business Insider's Avery Hartman did so, breaking down everything from Musk's shoe choice to the scenery. Still who took the photo?

Grimes? @kanyewest/Twitter

Grimes' reflection appears visible in the surface behind Musk and West, holding up a phone in a way that suggests that she was the one who shot it (it should be noted that she does not appear to be wearing orange).

Musk and his girlfriend Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, recently had a child together named X AE A-Xii. The name was first announced to be X A-12, but the couple apparently had to change it because California law allows only standard English characters on a birth certificate.
