Elon Musk has always grabbed media attention for his distinguished actions, whether it be renaming Twitter into X or launching new innovations in tech or the space field. But this time, the scenario is completely different, Elon Musk has been the talk of the tabloids and media for personal reasons.
Billionaire Elon Musk has served in a number of prominent positions, most notably as the former chairman of Tesla, Inc. He is also well-known for founding SpaceX, serving as its chairman, CEO, and CTO, as well as owning and leading other businesses, including X Corp.
The 52-year-old routinely draws media attention to his personal life, particularly his 11 children and his connections with their moms, in addition to his commercial pursuits.
In recent events, Elon Musk has been involved in a legal battle with Grimes, the mother of three of his children. According to reports, Grimes, whose actual name is Claire Boucher, has sued her ex-partner over their children’s paternity and custody rights.
Grimes is suing ex-partner Elon Musk
Grimes has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in relation to their three kids, X A-Xii, Exa Dark Siderael, and Techno Mechanicus. According to court records that the tabloid was able to get, the “Oblivion” singer filed a “petition to establish a parental relationship” in a California court on September 29.
In situations where the parents are not married, this legal filing tries to establish who the child’s legal parents are. For those who may not be aware, Grimes had previously sent Elon Musk a tweet, which she later deleted, pleading with him to let her meet her baby.
The singer revealed her dissatisfaction in response to a tweet from author Walter Isaacson that included a picture of Musk with his twins from a prior relationship with Shivon Zilis, stating, ‘Tell Shivon to unblock me and ask Elon to let me see my son or please respond to my lawyer.’ Even though the scenario is causing a lot of grief in my family, I haven’t even had the chance to see a picture of these kids until now.
Amid the entire situation, Elon Musk is facing serious backlash. X users are coming forward to express their anger. One person on X commented on this news by asking, ‘Did they also use a surrogate for this child? Who is looking after the kid?’ Another user commented on Twitter, saying, ‘I thought the mother automatically has full custody of a newborn unless there’s a serious reason, like being an unfit parent, to deny her access to her baby.’
Musk and Grimes’s dating history
From 2018 until their formal split in September 2021, Musk and Grimes maintained an erratic relationship. Together, they are the parents of three kids: a girl and two sons. In May 2020, the 52-year-old millionaire and the 35-year-old singer gave birth to a son they named X A-Xii.
The pair secretly brought Exa Dark Siderael, a daughter delivered via surrogate, into the world in December 2021. The couple’s secret third kid, a boy named Techno Mechanicus, who they fondly refer to as Tau, was first made public in September thanks to journalist Walter Isaacson’s book of Elon Musk.
There are 11 children in Elon Musk’s family, born into three different relationships. He shares Nevada Alexander Musk, twins Griffin and Vivian Musk, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian Musk with Canadian author Justine Wilson. He also has Techno Mechanicus, Exa Dark Siderael, and X A-Xii with Grimes. Last but not least, he has twins with Shivon Zilis, Neuralink’s director of operations and special projects.
