Canadian musician Grimes, who was once romantically involved with Elon Musk, has renewed her plea to the billionaire to shield their offspring from the public gaze. The singer expressed her profound distrust in legal avenues to address her concerns, lamenting that her previous attempts to engage Musk on this matter had proven futile. Together, they share three children: X Æ A-Xii, affectionately known as Lil X, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.
In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), Grimes revealed, "I've implored the public and my children's father to keep them off social media, and I've even sought legal remedies." She continued, "I'm actively present here, witnessing firsthand how the internet can devastate young lives. The public exposure of my children's lives weighs heavily on my mind, and I ponder solutions daily."
Grimes expressed astonishment that resorting to social media to plea her case seemed to be the only viable option. "It's madness that I must take to social platforms to beg for my young children's privacy, when ideally, there should be laws enabling parents to prohibit their children from leading public lives. Frankly, I don't even have faith in the legal system to assist me if I were to invoke such a law," she lamented.
This isn't the first occasion where Grimes has accused Musk of showcasing their children publicly. Earlier this month, when discussing her son's politeness on social media, Grimes slammed Musk's decision, stating, "He should not be paraded in public like this." She added, "I hadn't seen this; thank you for bringing it to my attention. But I'm relieved he was polite. Sigh."
Even Musk's father, Errol Musk, has criticized his son's parenting abilities, asserting that the billionaire had been largely absent from his children's lives. "No, he hasn't been a good dad," Errol remarked during a podcast last month. He referenced Musk's first child, Nevada Alexander, who passed away while under the care of nannies. "The baby was overly dependent on nannies and, tragically, passed away while in their charge. If Elon hears me say this, he might get furious, but this is just my perspective. I find it unacceptable," Errol said.
Recently, Musk welcomed his 14th child with Neuralink executive Shivon Zillis, just days after conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair announced the birth of Musk's 13th child.
