As rumors circulate around the possibility that Grimes is pregnant, Elon Musk sent a cryptic tweet saying 'x is y' in response to photographs she posted of herself with an apparent baby bump.
Musk's tweet was in reply to a photograph that shows a mirrored image of the singer wearing a top that is open at the front and reveals an apparent baby bump.
Grimes replied to Musk's message saying "Toss a coin to ur Witcher," in what looks to be a nod to a song from the Netflix TV series 'The Witcher.'

Rumors have been circulating since Wednesday about a possible pregnancy when Grimes posted a different photograph on Instagram where she also appears to have a bump.

Grimes uploaded a second photograph on Instagram the next day - a single version of the same one she posted on Twitter which garnered a response from Musk.
Comments from several verified accounts on this post, including from singer Janelle Monae express congratulatory and emotional responses to the singer about her apparent pregnancy.
