It seems like Elon Musk and one of his children's mothers are not on the same page about their privacy. Musk, who has 12 children with three different women, decided it would be a good idea to bring his son X Æ A-XII, who he shares with singer Grimes, to the Oval Office. The occasion? The president signed an executive order granting Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency more power.
With photos and videos going viral on social media, including an adorable video where the 4-year-old picks his nose and wipes a booger on Donald Trump's desk, there have been mixed reactions. One person who wasn't happy about the situation was X's mother. A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, tweeted at the singer praising her for raising the toddler well, "Lil X was very polite today! You raised him well," they wrote.
In response, Grimes wrote, “He should not be in public like this." "I did not see this, thank you for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh,” she continued.
Grimes, who recently shut down claims Musk was the one who broke up with her, continued to respond to people on the platform, explaining why she has not been more outspoken on some issues. "I simply have no desire to engage in online discourse that will likely lead to court and harm to the stability of my children's lives. I will not stoke fear and outrage without constructive action behind my words. Nor will I perform for people to the detriment of my children," she replied to one user.
The "Genesis" singer went on to say she has something in the works. "However, I am taking note of the fear and distress. I understand I have a responsibility in some sense to answer to it. and I am building what I think is a very good idea. I need to get a bit further along in this quest before we have something legit to show people," she explained. "I also have a significantly spicier artistic response to y'all and to them, but it will come when it is finished. Working hastily."
The billionaire and singer began dating in May 2018 and welcomed X two years later. The on-and-off-again couple kept their relationship private and welcomed their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, via surrogate in December 2021, only sharing the news in March 2022. They also kept their third child, Techno Mechanicus, a secret until September 2023.
Grimes and Elon Musk's relationship
As noted by DailyMail, Grimes, claimed in November that the controversial father of 12 wouldn't let her see their children for 5 months. The former couple had been in a legal battle since April 2022, suing and countersuing each other for custody and parental rights.
She took to X to explain, "Spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers' rights having my Instagram posts and modeling used as reasons I shouldn't have my kids and fighting and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me, with a fraction of his resources (or IQ/ strategy experience)."
The singer did not share many more details, but DailyMail reported that the Travis County Clerk confirmed that the Texas dispute was settled in November.
