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.

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