Grimes is making a desperate plea for Elon Musk’s attention, publicly revealing that one of their children requires urgent medical help—yet Musk is allegedly ignoring her attempts to reach him.
The singer-songwriter took to X, the social media platform owned by Musk, on Thursday afternoon, stating that she had exhausted all other options.
In a direct message to her billionaire ex, she wrote, “I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention. If you don't want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can so that we can move forward on solving this. This is urgent, Elon.”
Grimes did not provide specifics about the medical issue but emphasized that the situation is critical. When followers pressed her for more details, she declined to elaborate, only adding that she needed to get in touch with Musk immediately to prevent their child from suffering “lifelong impairment.”
She also made it clear that if applying public pressure was the only way to get a response, she was willing to do so.
Musk and Grimes share three children—X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. The post did not specify which child is experiencing a medical emergency, but given the urgency in Grimes’ tone, it’s clear she considers the matter severe.
Musk, who was once in an on-and-off relationship with Grimes between 2018 and 2022, has yet to respond publicly. It remains unclear whether he has reached out to her in private following her post.
Grimes’ public callout isn’t the first time a woman has turned to X to get Musk’s attention. Just last week, conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair also used the platform to plead for Musk to contact her regarding their alleged child.
She claimed that she had given birth five months ago and that Musk had completely ghosted her since.
Musk responded to St. Clair’s claims in a cryptic manner, questioning the paternity of the child but avoiding any direct acknowledgment of the situation. However, he refrained from engaging in a back-and-forth on X, and it remains unknown whether he reached out to St. Clair in private.
The recurring nature of these public messages paints a picture of a billionaire who may be too preoccupied with his various enterprises—including Tesla, SpaceX, and X—to prioritize certain aspects of his personal life.
As expected, the internet has been quick to react to Grimes’ plea. Some sympathized with her, arguing that no parent should have to go to such lengths just to get medical help for their child.
Others criticized Musk, accusing him of neglecting his responsibilities as a father despite his wealth and power.
At the same time, Musk’s supporters questioned why Grimes had to resort to social media rather than handling the matter through private channels. However, given her statement that he has been ignoring her, many believe she had no other choice.
This latest drama only adds to the ongoing controversies surrounding Musk’s personal life. While he continues to be one of the most influential figures in tech and business, his relationships—both romantic and parental—seem to be increasingly complicated.
Grimes’ post raises more questions than answers. Will Musk respond publicly? Will he reach out to Grimes in private? And most importantly—what exactly is the medical crisis that has prompted such a desperate plea?
So far, neither Grimes nor Musk has provided any updates since the initial post. The public is now left watching, waiting to see if Musk will prioritize the urgent situation or continue to remain silent.
