Twitter users are now shooting their shot with the newly single Elon Musk following his recent breakup.

Yesterday, (September 24), it was confirmed by Page Six that the SpaceX founder, 50, and 33-year-old Canadian singer Grimes had called it quits after three years together.

Musk told the outlet that the two of them had “semi-separated” but were still on good terms. He also said that they will carry on co-parenting their one-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii Musk.

“We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms,” Musk explained to Page Six.

He continued: “It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room.”

But while it’s not exactly happy news that the pair are going their separate ways - romantically at least - some people are looking on the bright side.

In fact, moments after news of their split broke, a number of ambitious individuals took to Twitter to share their glee at the prospect of one of the wealthiest men in the world not being spoken for.

Some are even sharing their intentions to slide into his DMs...

One person wrote alongside a drooling emoji: “Now that elon musk is single imma slide into those dm’s”.

Another Twitter user wrote: “Elon Musk is single again. So what you're saying is that I have a chance?”

A third said: “So excited Elon Musk is single. You just never know lol.”

A fourth commented: “Heard Elon Musk is now single, @elonmusk if u need a new girl hmu.”

Yet another Twitter user chimed in to say: “Elon musk is single…. Someone get me a shovel because I’m about to dig for some gold.”

Meanwhile, a final person shared: “Elon Musk and Bill Gates are single and I’ll take both please.”

This comes months after social media users reveled in Microsoft founder Bill Gates' new single status following his split from Melinda.
