Rumors of singer/songwriter Sky Ferreira declining a date with Elon Musk were floating around this week after the Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) chief executive officer's Met Gala appearance.
The rumor originated after a Twitter handle named @newypost tweeted that the singer declined a date with Musk after being asked by his team at the 2022 Met Gala. Musk's team reportedly asked him to be seated at the same table as the singer, a threaded tweet from the same handle read.
After maintaining silence for a while, Musk has now issued a clarification. He has denied asking anyone on a date or requesting for a particular seating.
I didn't ask anyone out or request particular seating

"This rumor originated from a parody account, but got picked up by real media & twitter trends (sigh)," he added.

Musk's tweet came as a reply to a tweet by his mother, Maye Musk, who previously sprang to his defense. While refuting the whole thing, the billionaire's mother said there was no team with him at the event and that it was she who accompanied him.
