Summary
In a surprising turn of events, the music artist Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes, has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, her former partner and owner of several big companies likeX, SpaceX, and Tesla, embroiled in a custody battle over their three young children. The legal dispute, which has garnered significant media attention, has brought to light the complexities ofGrimes and Elon Musk’s high-profile relationshipand the challenges they face in determining the future care and upbringing of their offspring.
Elon Musk and Grimes relationship began in 2018, capturing widespread attention with their notable appearance at the Met Gala that same year.Elon Musk and Grimes family expanded with the birth of their first child, a son named X Æ A-12 Musk, in May 2020, a name choice that generated significant intrigue. Subsequently, they welcomed a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, born via surrogate in 2021. Just recently, it was disclosed in Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk that the couple has a third child, a son named Techno Mechanicus.
However, there appears to be some controversy surrounding Grimes' access to her children. In early September, she tweeted a plea toXowner Elon Musk, asking to see her son and urging him to get in touch with her attorney. She mentioned that she hadn’t even seen photos of her children up to that point, and the situation has been distressing for her. The tweet was subsequently removed. A recent report from TMZ stated that on September 29, Grimes filed a legal document seeking to formally establish her parental rights, a step typically taken by unmarried parents to clarify their legal relationship with their child.
It’s worth noting that while many speculated that the petition was related to their third child, the birth of this child was never publicly announced. It is also worth mentioning that, on September 10, Grimes clarified her deleted tweet, expressing her desire to de-escalate the situation. Additionally, she emphasized her wish to shield her children from the public eye and requested respect for her family’s privacy during this time. As of now, Musk, whorecently announced his plans to livestream aDiablo 4speedrun, has not publicly responded to the situation.
The unfolding of this case remains uncertain, but it’s worth mentioning that Elon Musk recently made headlines by sharing a photo ofAmber Heard dressed as theOverwatchcharacter Mercyon social media. Later, it was reported that actress Amber Heard did not provide permission for the photo to be posted.
