Grimes blasts Elon Musk for parading their son, 4, around a Trump press conference

Grimes is not impressed with Elon Musk parading their son around the White House during a press conference. The X owner was there for the first time to speak about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which President Donald Trump appointed him to lead.

Musk, 53, bizarrely spoke about people aged 150 on social security as his four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, mimicked his movements in the Oval Office. In one picture, the billionaire had his son on his shoulders as he answered questions from the press about his government proposals. However, the mother of X Æ A-Xii and Musk’s ex, Grimes, was less than happy with this father-son outing. Responding to a woman praising how polite the little one was on X, she vented: ‘He should not be in public like this.

‘I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.’. Grimes, 36, and Musk were together for four years but called it quits in 2022 after having three children. X Æ A-Xii is the eldest of their kids, followed by daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, three, and son Tau Techno Mechanicus, two. The split has been messy with Grimes previously revealing she didn’t see one of her children for months during a custody battle.

She has remained fairly quiet on her ex’s foray into politics but did share some condemning words after Musk’s use of a ‘Nazi salute’ at the inauguration. The singer, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher replied to a comment on X that criticised her silence, and said she was ‘happy to denounce Nazi-ism.’. ‘And the far alt-right. Would that help clear things up?’ Grimes added, not directly addressing the Musk controversy by name.

She attributed her silence to her busy schedule: ‘I’ve just gotten out of breakfast and have to catch a flight, and am still debating how to approach things diplomatically because I feel in over my head. ‘But if there’s concern about that, I am happy to set the record straight in a meaningful way. If I don’t respond for another 5 hrs it’s cus there’s no wifi on my flight.’. At the time, the singer said she did not want to make a ‘rash statement’ as she was still learning about what had happened.

However, Grimes did add: ‘It’s absurd that someone can be this cancelled for something their ex did before they even heard it happened. I am not him. I will not make a statement every time he does something.’. The pair are said to have had a fluid relationship for years but on September 29, Grimes sued Musk, for primary physical custody and joint legal custody of their children. According to multiple US outlets, the singer sued her former partner and filed a petition in California to ‘establish parental relationship’.

Texas courts sealed the case, making the results unavailable to public access. Got a story?.
