Musician Grimes has turned to social media in a desperate attempt to get a response from Elon Musk regarding their child’s urgent medical situation. In a series of now-deleted posts on X (formerly Twitter), the singer, whose legal name is Claire Boucher, pleaded with the billionaire to acknowledge her messages.
“Please respond about our child’s medical crisis,” Grimes wrote. “I am sorry to do this publicly, but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.”
The artist further requested that if Musk was unwilling to communicate with her directly, he should designate someone to handle the matter. “If you don’t want to talk to me, can you please designate or hire someone who can so that we can move forward on solving this? This is urgent, Elon.”

A History of Public Disputes
Grimes and Musk, who were in an on-again, off-again relationship until 2021, share three children: X Æ A-Xii (4), Exa Dark Sideræl (3), and Techno Mechanicus (2). While she did not specify which child was affected, Grimes elaborated in follow-up posts responding to other users.
“I’m not giving any details, but he won’t respond to texts, calls, or emails and has skipped every meeting. Our child will suffer lifelong impairment if he doesn’t respond ASAP,” she stated. “So I need him to f—ing respond, and if I have to apply public pressure, then I guess that’s where we’re at.”
Tensions Between Grimes and Musk
Since their separation, Grimes has increasingly voiced concerns about Musk’s parenting and personal views. In August 2023, she discussed his controversial stance on transgender issues, particularly in relation to his estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has called him “uncaring and narcissistic.” Grimes clarified that she believed Musk’s criticism stemmed from “woke culture” rather than an inherent dislike of trans people.

In September 2023, she accused Musk of preventing her from seeing one of their children, a claim she later retracted but later reaffirmed, stating that their custody battle led to her Instagram posts and modeling work being used against her in court. “I didn’t see one of my babies for five months,” she wrote at the time.
Grimes’ mother, Sandy Garossino, has also spoken out against Musk. In July 2023, she publicly appealed to him on X, stating, “I’m writing here as the only way I have to reach you. My 93-year-old mother is in end-of-life palliative care. She yearns to see and hold Claire’s children one last time, especially the youngest, whom she has not yet met.”
Uncertain Resolution
Neither Grimes nor Musk has publicly addressed whether the issue has been resolved. Representatives for both have not responded to media inquiries. While Musk is known for his erratic online presence, it remains to be seen if Grimes’ public plea will prompt the response she is urgently seeking.
