The indie electro-pop artist and producer Grimes publicly asked Elon Musk, her ex-partner and the father of her three children, to pay attention to what she claims is a medical emergency affecting one of their children.

"Please respond to our child's medical dilemma. I apologize for doing this publicly, but it is no longer appropriate to overlook this problem. This deserves immediate attention," Grimes, actual name Claire Elise Boucher, said in a since-deleted post on Musk's X (previously Twitter) on Thursday.
The Canadian singer and Musk share three children: X Æ A-Xii, three-year-old daughter Exa Dark Siderael, and two-year-old boy Tau Techno Mechanicus. "If you don't want to speak with me, please designate or recruit someone who can, so that we can move forward with this. "This is urgent, Elon," Grimes said on X, without mentioning the severity of the medical problem.
Grimes also took to X earlier this month to respond to Musk's decision to send their 4-year-old son to the White House for a news appearance, as Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) work to slash government expenditure and federal employee numbers.
"He should not be in public like this," Grimes wrote. "I didn't see this; thank you for notifying me. But I am delighted he was courteous. Sigh." Musk has twelve known offspring from three different mothers. In 2024, he had his third kid with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
On February 14, author Ashley St. Clair claimed on X that she had given birth to Musk's 13th child five months earlier.
