Grimes has shared her mother’s appeal to Elon Musk for the children they share to be allowed to visit her 93-year-old mother – their great-grandmother – who is in end-of-life palliative care.
Musk and Grimes have three children together – X Æ A-12, a boy born in May 2020, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, a daughter born via surrogate in December 2021. In late 2023, it ws revealed they had a third child, Techno Mechanicus, known as Tau.
In a thread on X/Twitter, Grimes’ mother Sandy Garossino wrote that her mother “yearns to see and hold Claire’s children one last time.” She said that they were supposed to visit this weekend for her birthday, but “those hopes were crushed when the trip was canceled.”
“I am alarmed to learn that the children cannot come as you are withholding them and their needed passport documents from Claire,” Garosssino wrote.
Dear Elon @elonmusk
It was nice seeing you on Father’s Day. I hope you got the card that I helped X make. He was so proud of it.
I’m writing here as the only way I have to reach you.
As you know, my 93 year old mother is now at end-of-life palliative care.

“It was even more troubling to see you and X on television at the Olympics in Paris yesterday, after your DC trip earlier in the week. Where are the other children, and with whom? They are scheduled to be with their mother. They were expected here in Canada.
“I write with a grandmother’s plea, asking you to honour your agreement, return the children, and provide the documents they need to see their great grandmother before she passes.

“Some moments in life last forever, and we get no second chances. Family is priceless.
“Please Elon, I beg you. This is so painful for my mother, and concerning for the kids. Time is of the essence now.”
Grimes previously sued Musk over the custody rights to Tau, claiming that Musk wasn’t letting her visit him.
The news comes after Musk made the headlines earlier this week for saying his estranged transgender daughter Vivian Wilson was “killed by the woke mind virus” in an interview with Jordan Peterson, throughout which he repeatedly misgendered and deadnamed her.
Wilson, 20, officially changed her name in 2022 to reflect her gender identity as a trans woman and to take her mother Justine Wilson’s surname.
Wilson responded to the comments on Threads. “There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk which I will get to don’t worry, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious ‘slightly autistic’ tweet,” she wrote.
“This is entirely fake,” Wilson wrote in a second post. “Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo [Yiannopoulos] school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said ‘eh- good enough’ in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own fucking story.”
Wilson went on to assert that “I disowned him, not the other way around,” referring to the moment she legally changed her name to have ‘Musk’ replaced.
She also replied to Musk’s claim that she had been “killed” by saying, “I look pretty good for a dead bitch”.
Wilson has since given an interview to NBC News, in which she reiterated her stance on the situation.
“I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go, unchallenged,” she said. “Which I’m not going to do because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
She recalled one particularly traumatic incident from her childhood. “I was in fourth grade. We went on this road trip that I didn’t know was actually just an advertisement for one of the cars — I don’t remember which one — and he was constantly yelling at me viciously because my voice was too high,” Wilson said. “It was cruel.”
Grimes shared her support to Wilson. Writing on X, she said: “I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian.”
