Elon Musk’s ex-partner Grimes admitted she was ‘gravely concerned’ for her three children with him and had even ‘tried legal recourse’ to keep their kids out of the public and political spotlight
Grimes has once again publicly shared her desperation to keep her children out of the public eye.
The Canadian musician shares X Æ A-12, four; Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, three; and Techno Mechanicus, two, with former partner Elon Musk, who is now often seen at the right hand of US president Donald Trump. Tesla founder Musk has taken to involving his children with Grimes in his political life, and last month even involved their oldest son X in a televised White House conference without informing her. This month, X also joined his dad during an event in which Trump gushed over the virtues of Tesla cars while standing in front of the White House.
In a recent interaction on X, formerly known as Twitter, Grimes, 36, brought up the issue while talking to a fan about a fake post attributed to her that’s doing the rounds again after first appearing in 2022.
In the fake post, the person pretending to be Grimes talks about the “sexuality and kinks” of “Fortune 500 CEOs.” Grimes reshared the mock post with a joke, and one fan asked: “How to protect your children from this? Can’t you wipe this garbage from the internet? Art imitates life and I hope you find a solution.”
“I’ve seen how the internet destroyed one of my children’s life, if I had the resources, I’d do everything I could to keep them far from the realities they will face one day. Hopefully, once they are matured and can understand the satire.”
Grimes responded to the comment with direct reference to Musk, explaining: “I unfortunately do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet. I have tried begging the public and my kids dad to keep them offline, and I’ve tried legal recourse. I follow you here I’ve seen young ppl [sic] destroyed by the internet too.
She added: “The state of my children’s lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day. It’s insane to me that theres no way to deal with this. I would hope there was some law that would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives but I don’t even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it tbh. We are in the Wild West of information content and the dismantling of privacy and it’s very concerning.”
This isn’t the first time Grimes has aired her dirty laundry with Musk on X – which Musk himself owns. Last month, she begged him to speak to her so they could get help for one of their children, saying they were at risk of a “life-long impairment” unless they got medical attention.
Alongside claiming she’s trying to seek contact with Musk, Grimes has previously stated that she doesn’t approve of her children being paraded “around like Michael Jackson’s Chimpanzee.”
In January, she stated: “I have made it clear I do not approve of that in every conceivable way I know how. I am desperate to solve it. It is a personal tragedy to me. But currently I don’t know how to do that.”
