Elon Musk capped off his first day of Saturday Night Live rehearsals by having a dinner date with girlfriend Grimes and two of the show's biggest names.
The superstar couple, aged 49 and 33 respectively, were casually-clad as they stepped out with Pete Davidson, 27, and Lindsay Shookus, 40, in New York on Tuesday ahead of his much-anticipated appearance on the show.
Their night on the town came on the day of the South African billionaire and Canadian songstress' son X Æ A-Xii's first birthday, yet they still made time to celebrate SNL and to meet the funny man and producer.
Charting new territories: Elon Musk capped off his first day of Saturday Night Live rehearsals by having a dinner date with girlfriend Grimes and two of the show's biggest names
Elon and Grimes, born Claire Elise Boucher, originally bonded over Twitter before making their official red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala in May 2018.
Grimes - who just signed with Columbia Records -showcased her eccentric style in a white knit hat, goggle-style shades, a purple top, and 'Human' leggings.
The couple, who've both survived bouts with COVID-19, wore disposable black face masks despite the CDC's new guidelines to only do so indoors or in crowds.
Elon stopped to sign autographs for several waiting fans. One of the autograph seekers handed Musk a small model of a car, which he closely examined once safely inside his Tesla Model X.
