Grimes Says Fame Should Require “Consent” After Son’s White House Trip

Grimes is grappling with the idea of fame.

After my son, X Æ A-Xii, made an appearance at the White House alongside his father Elon Musk, I found myself yearning over the brief glimmer of public attention he received. Recently, I’ve been pondering what it truly means for a child to experience fame.

In a recent interview with TIME magazine (Feb 25), she expressed her preference for people to cease sharing photos of her child across various platforms. She believes that fame should only be accepted voluntarily, and while she understands things can’t always be controlled, she would truly value this consideration from others.

The 36-year-old added, “I can only ask, so I’m just asking.”

TopMob News has reached out to reps for Elon for comment but has not yet head back.

Grimes additionally commented on her reaction to the visit, stating that it may have been exaggerated. In reference to her comment posted on Elon’s social media site, she simply stated, “Well, it was just a response.

After her son’s meeting with the White House on February 11 (which quickly became popular online as footage emerged of him conversing with President Donald Trump and displaying some unusual behaviors, such as talking to himself and picking his nose) – Grimes expressed her thoughts in response to a fan who commented on X’s polite demeanor during the visit.

She posted on Twitter: “He shouldn’t be out in public behaving like this.” [She didn’t witness it, but thanks for informing her.] However, she was relieved to learn that he remained courteous. [Sigh]

On more than one occasion, this particular individual (aged 36), who is also a parent to two children – Exa Dark Sideræl, aged 3, and Techno Mechanicus, aged 2 – both of whom are shared with the CEO of SpaceX – has expressed comments about their offspring on social media.

Lately, I’ve felt compelled to share that the renowned “Oblivion” artist, in a heartfelt message – now taken down – reached out to Elon about a pressing health issue one of their kids is experiencing.

On February 20, as documented in the screenshots provided by TMZ, Grimes pleaded for a response regarding our child’s urgent medical predicament. Regrettably, I find myself compelled to address this matter publicly due to its escalation, as it now demands immediate action.

She added, “If you prefer not to discuss this matter with me, could you perhaps assign or delegate it to someone else instead? That way, we can proceed with resolving the issue more efficiently. This situation requires immediate attention, Elon.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but express my unwavering admiration for Grimes, the enigmatic artist whose genius never ceases to amaze me. Recently, in a rare instance, she opened up about a private matter regarding one of her children needing special care.

Yet, in the midst of this revelation, she graciously found time to respond to a curious fan who questioned her decision to share this personal aspect publicly. In typical Grimes fashion, she handled the query with poise and eloquence, leaving us all in awe of her strength and transparency.

As a concerned parent, I’m keeping quiet about the specifics, but it’s become clear that he’s unreachable via text, call, or email, and he’s missed every scheduled meeting. The gravity of the situation is such that our child’s future wellbeing hangs in the balance if he doesn’t respond promptly. Therefore, I find myself in a position where I must demand his immediate attention, and it seems that resorting to public appeals might be necessary.

For more on Elon’s sprawling tree, including his and Grimes’ children, keep reading.

Growing up in Saskatchewan, Canada, I later moved with my family to Pretoria, South Africa at the tender age of 7, in 1950. My life took an unexpected turn when I parted ways with Elon’s father, Errol Musk, in 1979.

When Elon relocated to Canada at the age of 17, I followed suit, reclaiming my birthright citizenship and establishing a thriving dietician practice. I even rose to the position of President for the Consulting Dieticians of Canada. Additionally, I pursued a career in modeling.

In 2019, after Elon sold his company Zip2 for an impressive sum exceeding $300 million, he generously gifted me an apartment in New York City. I spent 13 years there, continuing my modeling career under the esteemed IMG Models agency.

In a heartfelt essay for CNBC, I penned, “I raised my children as my parents raised us when we were young: instilling in them the values of independence, kindness, honesty, consideration, and politeness. I taught them the significance of hard work and doing good deeds.

As a dedicated follower, I might rephrase the text like this: Growing up, Elon and his father Errol, an engineer who was also born in South Africa, didn’t always have the smoothest relationship. Despite taking his kids on trips around the world as mentioned in a 2015 interview with Forbes, their bond wasn’t perfect. In a 2017 Rolling Stone interview, Elon criticized his father and shared that moving in with him after his parents’ divorce wasn’t beneficial. However, Errol expressed his love for his children and willingness to help them in the same interview.

Following his divorce from Maye, Errol married Heide and became stepfather to her 4-year-old daughter, Jana Bezuidenhout. Over time, after both experiencing breakups of their own, Errol and Jana grew closer and eventually started a romantic relationship. This newfound bond led to the birth of son Elliott in 2017 and a baby girl in 2019. In his own words, Errol sees reproduction as the purpose of human existence and would welcome more children if given the opportunity.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, allow me to share some insights about two remarkable individuals:

Firstly, I’m Kimbal, born in 1972, a passionate restaurateur and founder of The Kitchen, a unique collective of five eateries that pride ourselves on sourcing fresh produce directly from local farmers. It’s not just about serving delicious meals; it’s about fostering strong relationships with our community.

In addition to my culinary endeavors, I run Big-Green, a non-profit organization that has made a significant impact by constructing 200 learning gardens in schools across the U.S. These gardens not only contribute to healthier meals but also educate our future generations about sustainable farming practices.

Now, let’s shift gears and talk about Tosca, born in 1974, a visionary in the world of filmmaking. In 2017, she took the bold step to establish Passionflix, a revolutionary streaming service catering specifically to women. This platform targets the billion-dollar romance novel industry, providing a space where stories about love, passion, and relationships can flourish.

As a devoted spouse who walked down the aisle with Elon in 2000, a fellow alumnus from Queen’s University in Ontario, I can share our journey through marriage and its unique challenges. In a heartfelt piece for Marie Claire, titled “I Was a Starter Wife: Inside America’s Messiest Divorce,” my wife, Justine, revealed an intriguing aspect of our union – Elon’s declaration during our wedding reception that he was the alpha in our marriage.

While I initially took his words lightly, much like how I would later treat signing the postnuptial agreement, I came to understand over time that he wasn’t merely joking.

Our lives were forever altered by an unimaginable tragedy when our newborn son, Nevada Alexander, passed away at 10 weeks due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). As Justine wrote in her article, “Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always, and stopped breathing.”

Heartbroken, we turned to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to start our family anew. We were blessed with five more children: Twins Vivian and Griffin, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian.

Unfortunately, our marriage ended in 2008 when Elon filed for divorce.

In the year 2022, Elon disclosed that he had brought Griffin and the triplets along when they met Pope Francis. Although he was privileged to encounter the leader of the Catholic Church, Elon joked about his attire, stating, “My suit is quite unfortunate.

In addition, in the year 2022, Griffin’s sibling who is a twin also submitted a petition to alter their legal name, reflecting their newfound gender identity. They expressed, “I no longer wish to be associated with or connected to my biological father in any manner, whether it’s personal or familial.

In July 2024, Elon discussed his daughter’s transition in an interview with Jordan Peterson at The Daily Wire. He expressed that, in essence, he had lost his son. He further stated that his child, whom he referred to by her birth name, was effectively gone, having been “killed” by the influence of the woke ideology.

Additionally, he claimed that he was deceived into endorsing medical papers for Vivian’s gender-affirming surgeries under false pretenses.

She countered his remarks, stating emphatically that he was never misled. In an interview with NBC News, she added, “He was well aware of all possible consequences.

Elon and Talulah, who were famously known for their roles on HBO’s Westworld, tied the knot in 2010. As Talulah shared with CBS News, their relationship developed quickly: they got engaged just two weeks after getting to know each other. However, their marriage didn’t last long and they divorced in 2012. They remarried a year later but split again in 2016. In June 2024, Talulah walked down the aisle with Thomas Brodie-Sangster, a well-known actor from Love Actually.

Elon Musk and Amber Heard made their romantic relationship known in early 2017, about a year following Amber’s divorce from Johnny Depp, and after Elon had ended his second marriage to Talulah. However, their romance did not endure for long.

Elon shared with Rolling Stone that he had ended his relationship. He admitted to deeply loving her, and the breakup was painful for him. However, he suggested that she was the one who initiated the split more than he did.

For four years starting in 2018, Elon and the singer had an on-and-off relationship. In September 2021, Elon stated to Page Six that they were semi-separated due to his work commitments requiring him to be mostly in Texas or traveling abroad, while she was based in LA. However, in March 2022, Grimes told Vanity Fair that they lived in separate houses and were best friends. Later, on Twitter, she disclosed that they had broken up again but remained the love of her life and that her life and art would always be dedicated to their shared mission.

In September 2023, news emerged that the couple had three children together, including Techno Mechanicus, X Æ A-12, and Exa Dark Sideræl. When asked about this, Grimes confirmed it was true.

In November 2024, Grimes shared that she had spent a year battling for her parental rights in a state with unfavorable laws, as her social media posts and modeling work were used against her. During this time, she also distanced herself from Elon as he changed dramatically. Despite having limited resources, she was kept away from one of her children for five months, though she could only share the public aspects of her experience due to confidentiality.

In the year 2020, Elon and Grimes became parents to their first child, a son. To comply with California’s legal requirements that names only contain letters from the English alphabet, they altered the spelling of his name. Using Roman numerals, they decided to spell it as X Æ A-Xii.

Grimes clarified on Twitter about her son’s unique name, “X, the unknown variable,” she said. “Æ represents my creative spelling of ‘Ai’ (meaning love or artificial intelligence). A-12 refers to a precursor to SR-17, our preferred aircraft, which is non-weaponized and swift. It excels in battles but is non-violent.”

Grimes added, “A stands for Archangel, my favorite song, along with a rat and sword emoji. ‘Metal rat’ is his zodiac sign.

2022 saw Grimes disclose in an interview with Vanity Fair that she and Elon had secretly welcomed their daughter through surrogacy. She named her baby girl Exa, inspired by the term exaFLOPS (capable of performing 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second), symbolizing the unknown and mystery that Exa represents. Dark, on the other hand, signifies the absence of light or photons in our universe, a fascinating yet often feared concept known as dark matter. Sideræl, her daughter’s nickname, is said to represent the true passage of time within the universe, akin to deep space time, and is a tribute to her beloved character Galadriel from Lord of the Rings, who chose to relinquish power over the ring.

In his biography titled ‘Elon Musk’, Walter Isaacson disclosed that Exa, a new addition to the family, was brought into the world by a surrogate mother in December 2021.

The book further mentioned that by Father’s Day in 2022, the intermittent couple, often referred to as such, brought a new member into their family, a son they named Techno Mechanicus but affectionately called Tau. A photograph within the biography, taken in June 2022, shows Elon nurturing this little boy.

Last year, Business Insider disclosed legal records indicating that Elon became a father to twins in November 2021, through Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink. The birth of the twins took place in Austin, Texas, which is where Elon resides.

Apart from that, it appears he expressed his thoughts on the report about X as well, stating, “Trying my hardest to aid in resolving the issue of underpopulation. The declining birth rate poses the most significant threat to our civilization.

“Mark my words,” he added, “they are sadly true.”

In his 2023 biography titled “Elon Musk,” Walter Isaacson mentions that the twins’ complete names are Strider Sekhar Sirius and Azure Astra Alice.

2024 marked the arrival of our third bundle of joy with Elon by my side. In June of that year, I proudly shared the news with Page Six, emphasizing that while we didn’t make a public announcement, it doesn’t imply secrecy but rather a preference for keeping personal matters private. As Elon put it, “Our close friends and family are aware.

In five months, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair revealed a personal secret: Elon Musk is the father of her baby. To protect their child’s privacy and safety, she had kept this a secret until now, but recent tabloid intentions to reveal it prompted her to speak out. She wishes for their child to grow up in a normal and secure environment, asking the media to respect their privacy and avoid invasive reporting.

A day later, her representative Brian Glicklich provided an update. Ashley and Elon have been working privately on an agreement regarding their child’s upbringing for some time now. They are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role to put an end to speculation and ensure the best interests of their shared child’s wellbeing and security.
