On social media, many viewers stunned after Grimes took social media as she pleads with Elon Musk to keep their children off the internet.
The relationship between Grimes and Elon Musk continues to make headlines.
Despite their separation, the singer remains entangled in Musk’s highly public life.
Recently, she took to social media to plead for privacy regarding their children.
Grimes expresses concern over children’s online exposure
Grimes and Musk began dating in 2018. They “semi-separated” in 2021 after having their first child, X Æ A-12. The couple later had two more children. In September 2023, Grimes reportedly sued Musk for paternal rights in an undisclosed court case.
Since their split, Musk has frequently been seen in public with their son X. His closeness with X has sparked controversy.
Some have even speculated that Musk uses his son to shape public perception.
Grimes has openly criticized these actions, calling out the billionaire for “parading” their child in high-profile settings.
Grimes takes to social media to plead with Elon Musk to keep their children off the internet.
Recently, she shared an emotional plea to Musk in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
In her post, she addressed the issue concerning their son.
She wrote about her struggle to protect their children from public exposure.
“I unfortunately do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet,” she stated. “I have tried begging the public and my kids’ dad to keep them offline, and I’ve tried legal recourse.”
She added that watching young people suffer from internet exposure deeply concerns her.
“The state of my children’s lives being public is of grave concern to me,” she continued. “It’s insane to me that there’s no way to deal with this.”
Grimes also criticizes lack of legal protection for children’s privacy
In her post, Grimes expressed frustration over the lack of legal options available to protect her children.
“I would hope there was some law that would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives,” she wrote. “But I don’t even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it.”
She went on to call today’s digital landscape the “Wild West of information content” and voiced concerns over privacy rights being dismantled.
Social media reaction
Grimes’ post resonated with many parents.
In the comment selection, many supporters flooded her comment section with messages of empathy.
One person said: I don’t think Elon has been told ‘no’ very often….
A second wrote: As a mom, I can’t imagine how hard it must be to not be able to protect your children. I sincerely hope the courts will allow you the custodial rights you’d need to protect them.
While a third commented: I literally came straight here after seeing your baby being paraded around again today. My heart breaks for you. I am so, so sorry.
Another added: Good luck locking horns with the richest man on the planet! He’s also a giant AH
Someone else said: His son is being used as a prop to tell people he’s a great dad and to have compassion for him.
Musk shares public photos of their son amid controversy
Grimes’ post came after their son went viral again.
Previously, Musk shared photos of X with former President Donald Trump at the White House. One of the images showed Trump and X heading toward Marine One. Musk captioned it, “That’s a happy picture.”
The image quickly sparked reactions online. Some joked that Musk appeared to be the one in charge. Others questioned whether Trump was simply “babysitting” Musk’s son.
Despite the controversy, Musk has not publicly responded to Grimes’ concerns. His continued public appearances with X suggest he does not intend to change his approach.
