Grimes DJing Immortality Influencer’s Shroom Trip With Special Guest Mr. Beast

Grimes is a fan of Bryan Johnson, the multimillionaire and immortality influencer who spends his time trying to fight death via an extremely strict and sometimes strange lifestyle called Project Blueprint. He is perhaps best known for undergoing plasma transfusions with donations from his teenage son a few years ago and calling himself "immortal unc." Earlier this year Grimes tweeted that she is "so into Bryan Johnson," explaining she "got into it as a joke but after getting my data he did successfully gamify my health in my mind." Now, she'll be DJing his livestreamed shroom trip.

Tomorrow Johnson (who, like Grimes' ex Elon Musk, got rich from PayPal money) will take 5.24 grams of magic mushrooms "for science," measuring his biomarkers along the way. The tech CEO tripped on the same amount a few weeks ago, but it was not livestreamed. Other special guests for the virtual event include Mr. Beast and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. You can watch below when it starts on Sunday.

UPDATE: Grimes concluded her set with Beach House's "Space Song." Johnson's Blueprint co-founder Kate Tolo deemed it "maybe the best experience of his life."

Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson (@immortal unc) leads an extremely strict and sometimes strange lifestyle with the intention of slowing the aging process, and he constantly measures his biomarkers along the way. (At one point he was undergoing monthly 1-liter plasma infusions.) Today he took 5.24 grams of ? "for science,” and broadcast the experience in a six-hour livestream. Folks like Mr. Beast and Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff checked in on him remotely, while @Grimes DJ’d Johnson’s trip’s “peak,” concluding her set with “Space Song” by @Beach House. #Grimes #BeachHouse #BryanJohnson #lifeextension
