Elon Musk is out here treating the White House like a Bring-Your-Kid-to-Work Day—except the “work” involves political hobnobbing, and the kid in question is X Æ A-12, a 4-year-old with a name that sounds like a top-secret NASA project.
Grimes, the avant-garde space fairy that she is, is not amused.
À Wild X Appears in the Oval Office
It all started when Musk waltzed into the Oval Office with Lil X in tow for a chat with former president Donald Trump. Because, obviously, what every preschooler dreams of is a front-row seat to political discourse.
A Twitter/X user gushed over the tiny cyborg prince’s behavior, tweeting:
“Lil X was very polite today! You raised him well. He was so cute when he told DJT ‘please forgive me, I need to pee’. 🥰”
Grimes, however, was less focused on his manners and more on why in the intergalactic hell her child was at the White House in the first place. She replied:
“He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”
That last sigh? That’s the exasperation of a woman who once made a baby with a billionaire and now has to watch said baby do political press tours like he’s on a presidential campaign.
The Musk Family Drama, But Make It Sci-Fi
This is far from the first time Musk has been accused of treating his children like side characters in his personal sci-fi epic. His estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, previously accused him of “illegally” keeping his and Grimes’ kids away from her, claiming he was playing some kind of billionaire-level Keep Away with his offspring.
“As you may or may not know, Grimes is currently in a custody battle with Elon over their 3 children,” Vivian shared on Threads. “What you probably don’t know, however, is that Elon has been illegally and continuously keeping their children, her children, away from their mother during the most important developmental period in a child’s life.”
Ah yes, just what every kid needs for healthy emotional development: a father who makes rocket ships and a custody arrangement that sounds like a sci-fi plotline.
Grimes: Over It™
Back in November, Grimes admitted that Musk had “become unrecognizable to me.” Which is understandable, considering the man went from quirky tech billionaire to real-life Bond villain with a side of Twitter meltdowns.
Now, with Musk parading their child through political photo ops like he’s training him to be the next Secretary of SpaceX, Grimes is once again left watching the circus from the sidelines—and sighing deeply into the void.
He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I'm glad he was polite. Sigh
