Grimes just dropped some intergalactic-level drama about her split from Elon Musk, aka the world’s richest man, aka the dude who named their kids like they’re Wi-Fi passwords.
In a no-holds-barred post on X (formerly known as Twitter, RIP the bird logo), Grimes, the ethereal queen of avant-garde pop and co-parent of three with Elon, unloaded about their 2022 breakup and the custody chaos that followed. She and Elon share son X Æ A-Xii (age 4, and probably already hacking into NASA), daughter Exa Dark Sideræl (3, and surely plotting to overthrow humanity), and son Techno Mechanicus (2, who probably runs on solar power).
Custody Battles in the Twilight Zone
Apparently, Grimes has been duking it out for custody in what she calls a state with “terrible mothers’ rights.” She wrote, “Spent a year locked in battle… having my Instagram posts and modeling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids.” Yep, because if there’s one thing a mom shouldn’t do, it’s post artsy pics on Instagram while her billionaire ex is busy live-tweeting rocket launches.
But wait, it gets juicier. Grimes revealed that she didn’t see one of her kids for five months. FIVE. MONTHS. And all while battling a guy who, according to her, has “a fraction of my resources (or IQ/strategy experience).” Translation: Elon brought his A-game, and she had to fight him with whatever was left in her glittery toolbox.
When Love Turns to ‘Who Even ARE You?’
Oh, and Grimes had some words for her ex that cut deeper than a SpaceX rocket fuel budget. She admitted she’s still trying to detach from him emotionally, calling Musk “the love of my life,” but then hit him with the ultimate post-breakup diss: “He’s become unrecognizable to me.” Ouch. That’s gotta sting worse than Tesla stock taking a nosedive.
A Timeline of Love and Litigation
Grimes and Musk first became a thing in 2018, sparking a whirlwind romance that included Met Gala appearances and meme-worthy moments. Fast-forward a few chaotic years and three uniquely named kids later, and things took a turn. By October 2023, Grimes filed legal papers to officially establish parental rights. And let’s not forget, Elon has nine other kids from previous relationships. Dude’s building his own personal Mars colony, one baby at a time.
So, while Musk is out here launching rockets and trying to colonize other planets, Grimes is fighting for her kids and her sanity on Earth. Moral of the story? Even billionaires and pop stars can’t escape messy breakups.
My new shit is so elevated beyond that – after everything I've been thru – I am keeping the best of book 1 for the new stuff but I've never been better in my life than right now, and I spent a lot of my time off with babies getting in my ten thousand hours of creative writing and…
