Canadian musician Grimes, known for her eclectic music and unique public persona, has ignited a firestorm of controversy by publicly accusing her former partner, Elon Musk, of neglecting their child's health during a serious medical crisis. In a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, detailed her desperate attempts to communicate with Musk, alleging that he has ignored her calls, texts, and emails. The post painted a picture of a mother facing a critical situation, pleading for the father's involvement.
Grimes' message was direct and urgent. "This requires immediate attention," she wrote, emphasizing the time-sensitive nature of the situation. "This is urgent, Elon." While she refrained from disclosing the specific details of their child's medical condition, the tone and urgency of her message left no doubt about the seriousness of the situation. She expressed her growing frustration, stating, "If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can do that we can move forward on solving this." Acknowledging the drastic nature of her public appeal, Grimes added, "If I have to apply public pressure then I guess that’s where we are at,” suggesting that all other avenues of communication had been exhausted.
This public accusation isn't the first time Grimes has voiced concerns about their children's well-being in relation to Musk. Last week, she criticized him for bringing their son, X Æ A-Xii, to a meeting at the Oval Office with the then- American leader. Photos of X sitting on Musk's shoulders during the signing of an executive order sparked online discussions about the child's public exposure. Grimes expressed displeasure and concern for their son's privacy, stating, “He should not be in public like this.” She also thanked fans for bringing the photos to her attention.
Grimes and Musk's relationship, which began in 2018, has been marked by intense public scrutiny, fueled by both their passionate connection and dramatic breakups. The couple shares three children: X Æ A-Xii, Techno Mechanicus, and Exa Dark Sideræl. Musk is also a father to several other children from previous relationships.
Grimes' public call-out of Musk regarding their child's health has amplified existing concerns about his parenting and communication. The lack of response, as alleged by Grimes, has further fueled public speculation and criticism.
The situation highlights the challenges of co-parenting in the public eye, especially when dealing with sensitive issues like a child's health. The unfolding situation continues to draw attention, with many watching to see how Musk responds to Grimes' urgent appeal.
