We know that parenting isn't easy, but imagine having to try and parent three kids with Elon Musk. The world's richest man has a lot on his plate, and when he's not trying to send the human race to Mars to try and save it, he's lauding it up as the CEO of Tesla or being branded as an 'national enemy' of UK politics. Somewhere between his constant posting on X, he's also finding time to head up the Department of Government Efficiency in hopes of cutting $2 trillion from government spending. If all of that wasn't enough, he's also finding time to (apparently) father 13 children.
While the eyes of the world are currently on his potential tryst with MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair, one of his exes has publicly spoken out and asked for Elon's help in raising their children.
Claire Boucher is better known under her stage name Grimes, and after a complicated relationship with Musk that started back in 2018, the pair engaged in a long-fought custody battle. The exact details of how they share parenting of X Æ A-X, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and Techno Mechanicus remain a secret, but in a public outburst, Grimes has sensationally blown the lid off their troubles.

In a series of now-deleted posts, the artist wrote: "Plz respond about our child’s medical crisis. 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."
It caused quite the stir, but as fans rallied around Grimes and attempted to boost the post while calling out Musk, they were confused at why it said 'unavailable'. While Musk didn't publicly respond, there were swirling rumors that his team over at X was limiting visibility on Grimes' post and might've even shadowbanned her.

Boucher has since confirmed she's deleted the posts herself, adding: "I am deleting them now because if they're being shadow banned and not eliciting a response then all it is is a media circus at the expense of the kids."
As for the potential shadowban, Musk's critics were quick to call him out. One angry user wrote: "Elon out here hiding and deleting grimes’ replies about their son. Richest man in the world, still a deadbeat dad."
Another added: "Grimes tweeted at Elon asking about her child and the tweets suddenly become unavailable while I’m looking at them. not deleted, removed, or for violating rules, just unavailable. It seems pretty clear these were not removed by Grimes herself. a truly technodystopian hell.”
A particularly vocal comment concluded: "God it is genuinely heart wrenching seeing Grimes get shadowbanned by that worthless piece of dogsh*t while she's trying to take care of his sick little children. hope he is muscularly prevented from doing any more harm to people, very soon."
It's important to note that Musk hasn't publicly responded to these claims, nor has anyone confirmed that Grimes was shadowbanned. Either way, the "Genesis" artist has pulled her pleas and refused to give further details on what's going on between her and Musk.
