Grimes claimed she’s “tried begging” ex-boyfriend Elon Musk to keep their children out of the limelight.
“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,” Grimes, 36, claimed via X on Friday, March 14, referencing a comment about attempting to protect her children from false online narratives. “I’ve seen young ppl destroyed by the internet too.”

She added, “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.”
Musk, 53, and Grimes (real name Claire Elise Boucher) share sons X Æ A-Xii, 4, and Techno Mechanicus, 2, as well as daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, 3.
After Musk and Grimes split in 2022, the musician condemned the way that son X, in particular, has frequently made public appearances alongside the Tesla founder and President Donald Trump.
“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,” she alleged on Friday. “We are in the Wild West of information content and the dismantling of privacy and it’s very concerning.”
Musk, who is a father of 14, has not publicly responded to Grimes’ accusations. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.

Musk recently brought son X to the White House for an Oval Office visit last month.
“He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank (you) for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh,” Grimes later wrote via social media, expressing sadness over her son’s high-profile media appearance.
She also spoke to TIME about the now-viral photos, asking “people to stop posting images of my kid everywhere.”
“I think fame is something you should consent to,” Grimes told the outlet. “Obviously, things will just be what they are. But I would really, really appreciate that. I can only ask, so I’m just asking.”
Grimes, for her part, seldom posts about her children on social media.
“Whatever is going on with family stuff, I just feel like kids need to stay out of it, and X is just out there,” the singer previously told Vanity Fair in a March 2022 profile. “I mean, I think [Elon] is really seeing him as a protégé and bringing him to everything and stuff. X is out there. His situation is like that. But, yeah, I don’t know.”
