A seemingly innocuous photograph of 47-year-old Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, with his family, has been shared widely online, after a detail caught their attention.
Musk was at the SpaceX headquarters in California for a college competition. Predictably, there were photos taken, and at first the father-of-five just looks to be posing with two young people.
Many say they were convinced they were looking at the world-famous engineer alongside two of his children. But the woman to his left is actually his girlfriend.
Musk, who has been married three times, is dating 30-year-old Canadian musician Claire Elise Boucher, who goes by the name Grimes.
Unfortunately, social media became a tad, erm, confused by her seemingly petite stature in the images of their outing.
The pair announced they were dating at the Met Gala in May.

Eh, it's a combination of the outfit (which is quite young-looking), the fact that she's much shorter than Musk (which is not that unusual for women and their male partners) and maybe an awkward pose. No other photo I've ever seen of Grimes has made me think she looks like a child, including other pictures from this same day.
I love Grimes' music. Does it matter if she looks like a kid? She's 30 years old, what's the problem?
