Singer and artist Grimes has publicly criticized her ex-partner, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, for allowing their son, X Æ A-12, to make appearances in public. The comment has sparked debate among fans and the media, as the former couple continues to navigate co-parenting while maintaining high-profile careers.

Concerns Over Privacy

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, has always been protective of her children’s privacy. According to sources close to the musician, she believes that exposing their son to public attention at a young age could negatively impact his well-being.

In a recent social media post, Grimes reportedly expressed her discontent, stating:
“I’ve always wanted to shield X from the media frenzy, but that’s proving difficult when he’s brought into the spotlight without my consent.”

Her frustration was likely fueled by a recent event where Musk was seen carrying their son at a public gathering, drawing attention from photographers and media outlets.

Musk’s Perspective on Parenthood

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has often shared moments with his children, emphasizing the importance of family. He has previously stated that he enjoys spending time with his son, even bringing him to business meetings and company events.

Musk has not directly responded to Grimes’ comments, but he has previously dismissed concerns about media exposure, suggesting that children of public figures inevitably receive attention.

A History of Public Disputes

This is not the first time Grimes and Musk have disagreed over parenting choices. Since their separation, the two have reportedly had tensions regarding custody and parenting styles. Despite this, both have expressed their love for their children and a desire to co-parent effectively.

Public Reaction

Fans have taken to social media to discuss the situation, with some supporting Grimes’ stance on protecting her son’s privacy, while others argue that Musk has the right to share moments with his child.

As the debate continues, one thing remains clear—both parents care deeply about their son, but their differing views on privacy are creating ongoing challenges in their co-parenting journey.
