The love life of Elon Musk is a complicated one, and in the aftermath of apparently revealing his 13th and 14th children to the world, attention has again returned to one of his exes.
Originally dating Elon Musk in 2018, he and singer Grimes "semi-separated" in September 2021. Following the birth of their second son (their third child) in September 2023, she sued the tech billionaire for paternal rights in an undisclosed court case.
Although the details of the custody battle have never been revealed, his closeness with son X Æ A-12 (now just X) has led to plenty of controversy. As well as wild theories that Musk uses his son as a human shield, Grimes herself has spoken out about 'parading' X around the Oval Office.

Despite their separation, it seems that Grimes is constantly pulled back into the world of Mr. Musk, addressing everything from allegations he performed a Nazi salute to publicly calling out 'power-hungry warlords'.
There was recent drama when she took to social media to plead with her ex over a 'medical crisis' involving one of their children, and now, she's spectacularly grabbing headlines all over again.
Posting on X, Grimes referenced a comment about protecting her children from false online narratives and wrote: "I unfortunately do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet. I have tried begging the public and my kids’ dad to keep them offline, and I’ve tried legal recourse.

"I’ve seen young ppl destroyed by the internet too. The state of my children’s lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day. It’s insane to me that there’s no way to deal with this."
Seemingly firing shots at her ex, Grimes concluded: "I would hope there was some law that would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives, but I don’t even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it tbh.
"We are in the Wild West of information content and the dismantling of privacy and it’s very concerning."
It comes alongside their son went viral during another visit to the White House. Musk shared snaps of Trump and X heading towards Marine One on the South Lawn, captioning it by saying, "That’s a happy picture 🥰."

There were obvious jokes about Musk being in charge, with some claiming the POTUS is little more than a babysitter.
Musk hasn’t publicly acknowledged what Grimes has said, although it seems others share her concerns.
Responding to the post, one person wrote: "That's rough, as a mom I can't imagine how hard it must be to not be able to protect your children from so much public scrutiny, especially with a father as public as your ex is. I sincerely hope someday the courts will allow you the custodial rights you'd need to protect them."
Another said: "I literally came straight here after seeing your baby being paraded around again today; let me clarify it’s NOT because I saw you say this. So please know that there are people in this world who sees through the lines. My heart freaking breaks for you and I am so, so sorry."

While Grimes clearly has an issue with her son being 'paraded' around the White House, it doesn't look like Musk is taking much notice.
