Grimes isn’t happy with Elon Musk’s latest political move, especially since it involved their young son, X Æ A-Xii.
The Canadian singer, whose real name is Claire Boucher, voiced her concerns after Musk brought their child into a high-profile Oval Office press conference.
The event, which was meant to mark President Donald Trump’s signing of a DOGE-focused executive order, quickly became more about Musk and his son than the policy itself.
When a fan alerted her to the situation on X (formerly Twitter), Grimes didn’t hold back.
“He should not be in public like this,” she responded.
“I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite.
Sigh.” Her reaction made it clear—she was not thrilled about their child being used as part of a political spectacle.
A Longstanding Feud Over Public Appearances
This isn’t the first time Grimes has expressed frustration over Musk’s handling of their children in the public eye.
She has previously called his decision to showcase X at official events “a personal tragedy” for her.
While she has been relatively vague about Musk’s growing influence in the political world, her latest comments suggest she’s increasingly uncomfortable with the situation.
Beyond her personal concerns, Grimes also took a moment to address what she sees as a broader issue in American politics—the lack of respect and professionalism in leadership.
In another post, she lamented the current state of political discourse, saying, “The purpose of politics is to find solutions when the population can’t agree—but both sides have stoked hysteria rather than provide mature, competent leadership.”
She emphasized that past Republican and Democratic administrations at least maintained “a veneer of respect towards the people” and that this respect played a crucial role in ensuring stability.
Fear of Speaking Out Too Boldly
Despite her strong opinions, Grimes made it clear she was hesitant to criticize too directly, given her immigration status.
“I just don’t wanna be deported haha—like literally,” she wrote.
Still, she didn’t hold back entirely. She criticized the trend of politicians prioritizing personal battles over real governance, calling out the way bills are often killed simply due to political infighting.
She urged people to remember that “decorum is an incredibly important part of reality, long forgotten in America.”
A Custody Battle That’s Far from Over
Grimes and Musk’s complicated relationship extends beyond public appearances and political disagreements.
The two have been locked in a custody battle over their three children—X Æ A-Xii, Techno Mechanicus, and Exa Dark Sideræl.
Last year, Grimes revealed that she had gone five months without seeing one of her children due to legal disputes.
Musk, who has 12 children from multiple relationships, sued for custody in Texas, where his businesses are based.
In response, Grimes filed a petition in California, a common first step for unmarried parents seeking legal custody.
She alleged that Musk had restricted her access to their children, even preventing them from seeing their terminally ill grandmother.
The Texas court recently settled the dispute, though the details remain private.
Grimes has said the legal fight nearly drained her financially and emotionally, making it difficult for her to work on music.
“I just slept and cried every minute I wasn’t explicitly fighting for my kids during that year,” she admitted.
Musk’s Political Influence and White House Presence
Musk’s involvement in Trump’s administration has grown significantly, raising concerns about his influence over federal policies.
At the recent Oval Office event, Musk, alongside his son, spoke about government spending, bureaucracy, and budget cuts.
Trump allowed Musk to take center stage for over 30 minutes, using the moment to justify the administration’s latest executive order, which aims to dramatically reduce the size of the federal workforce.
When questioned about his critics, Musk dismissed them with sarcasm.
“I have detractors? I don’t believe it,” he joked.
He argued that the American people had given Trump’s administration a clear mandate for major government reform and that the public was “going to get what they voted for.”
Controversy Over Musk’s Government Involvement
Musk’s growing role in government affairs hasn’t gone unnoticed—or unchallenged.
His involvement in policy decisions, particularly regarding the Department of Treasury’s payment systems and USAID (United States Agency for International Development), has drawn criticism.
Some fear that his influence could lead to reckless decision-making, particularly as DOGE, Musk’s policy group, pushes aggressive budget cuts.
One controversial claim from the White House press secretary suggested that DOGE had discovered $50 million worth of condoms being sent to Gaza, fueling further debates.
While Musk initially backed the claim, he later admitted the figure was incorrect, though he continued to defend his team’s overall actions.
As Musk cements his place in Trump’s inner circle, Grimes’ frustration continues to grow—not just over their son being placed in the political spotlight, but also over what she sees as a deeper erosion of political discourse in the country.
Whether her concerns will influence Musk’s actions moving forward remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—their public and private battles are far from over.
