In a series of now-deleted posts, Grimes wrote: “I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.

This incident is not the first public dispute between Grimes and Musk regarding their children’s welfare. Recently, Grimes criticized Musk for bringing their 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, to a high-profile meeting at the White House with President Trump.

Their co-parenting journey has been marked by both private and public challenges, with this latest episode highlighting the difficulties they face in communication and decision-making regarding their children’s health and privacy.
Elon Musk, known for his roles as CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and his recent appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Trump’s administration, has not publicly responded to Grimes’s recent appeals. His demanding professional commitments often place him in the public eye, yet his silence on this personal matter has drawn significant attention and concern from the public and media alike.

It also highlights the complexities inherent in balancing demanding professional responsibilities with personal and familial obligations. As the situation develops, many are watching closely, hoping for a resolution that prioritizes the well-being and health of the child involved.
