Grimes, the Canadian singer and ex-partner of Elon Musk, revealed that she had to “beg” the entrepreneur to keep their kids off social media.
The 37-year-old artist, mother of X Æ A-XII, 4 years old, Exa Dark Sideræl, 3, and Techno Mechanicus, 1, shared the confession on her X profile (formerly Twitter) last week.
“I tried begging the public and the father of my children to keep them offline and I tried legal avenues,” she explained in a post on the platform.
“I’ve seen young people destroyed by the internet… The state of my children’s lives being public is a huge concern for me, and I think about how to solve it every day.”
The topic came up after the ex-couple’s eldest son participated in a media briefing alongside his father and President Donald Trump at the White House last month.
The billionaire carried X Æ A-XII on his shoulders while Trump signed an executive order to benefit the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), overseen by Musk.
“It’s crazy to me that there’s no way to handle this. I would’ve expected there to be some law that allowed parents to prevent young children from living public lives, but to be honest, I don’t even trust the law to help me now, if I tried to invoke it,” she lamented afterward.
