Musician Claire Boucher, known as Grimes, has publicly pleaded with her ex, billionaire Elon Musk, to address an urgent medical crisis concerning their child. In a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote, “I hate doing this publicly, but I literally have no other option. I’ve been trying to reach Elon about a medical crisis regarding our child, and he is ignoring me. I have no idea what to do.” The emotional post sparked widespread concern and debate online.
The former couple shares three children—X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. Grimes has previously expressed frustration with Musk’s control over their children’s lives, including taking their son to a meeting with Donald Trump without her consent. This latest plea adds to ongoing tensions between the two, who have had a complicated co-parenting relationship since their breakup.
At the time of Grimes’ post, Musk was attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. He made headlines during the event by brandishing a prop chainsaw on stage to symbolize his stance against government bureaucracy. His appearance at CPAC and lack of response to Grimes’ plea have fueled public debate about his priorities.
Fans and followers quickly reacted to the situation, with many urging Musk to respond. Some criticized Grimes for making the issue public, while others defended her, arguing that she had no choice if Musk was ignoring her privately. The controversy has reignited discussions about parental responsibilities and Musk’s demanding lifestyle as the CEO of multiple companies.
As of now, Musk has not publicly addressed Grimes’ concerns, and it remains unclear if he has responded privately. The situation continues to generate widespread attention, with many awaiting further updates on the child’s health and Musk’s response.
