In a series of now-deleted posts on X (formerly Twitter), Canadian musician Grimes publicly implored her ex-partner, Elon Musk, to address a pressing medical issue concerning one of their three children. The 36-year-old artist expressed frustration over Musk’s lack of response to her private communications, stating that their child’s health could face “lifelong impairment” without immediate intervention.
Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, did not specify which of their children is affected or the nature of the medical crisis. The couple shares three children: sons X Æ A-Xii, 4, and Techno Mechanicus, 2, and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, 3. In her public plea, Grimes wrote, “I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.” She further added, “If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or … so that we can move forward on …
The posts were made on February 20, 2025, and subsequently deleted. Grimes explained her decision to remove them, stating that if the posts were being shadow-banned and not eliciting a response, they would only contribute to a media circus at the expense … their children.
This public appeal highlights ongoing tensions between Grimes and Musk regarding co-parenting and communication. Just a week prior, Grimes criticized Musk for bringing their son X Æ A-Xii to a meeting with President Donald Trump at the Oval Office without her consent. She expressed concern over their child’s privacy, stating, “He should not be … .”
Elon Musk, 53, has not publicly responded to Grimes’ recent appeals. At the time of her public plea, Musk was attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. During the event, he appeared on stage with Argentine President Javier Milei, brandishing a prop chainsaw to symbolize significant budget cuts proposed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative Musk oversees.
Musk’s personal life has been under increased scrutiny recently. In addition to his three children with Grimes, he has fathered ten other children with various partners. Notably, author and conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed earlier this month that she gave birth to Musk’s child five … , alleging that Musk has not acknowledged his parental role.
The complexities of Musk’s personal relationships and his demanding professional commitments raise questions about his capacity to effectively manage both spheres. Grimes’ decision to resort to public appeals underscores the challenges she faces in co-parenting with Musk and highlights the broader implications of balancing high-profile careers with personal responsibilities.
As of now, there has been no official statement from Musk regarding the medical situation of his child with Grimes. The situation continues to develop, drawing significant public attention to the personal dynamics between the tech mogul and the musician.
