Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend Grimes has allegedly begged the billionaire to let her see her son X, aged three.
Claire Boucher, 35, who goes by her stage name Grimes, accused her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s father of ‘ripping my family apart’ and said that the mother of his twins, Shivon Zilis, had blocked her on Twitter.
According to screenshots of a now-deleted tweet – underneath a picture of Musk and the two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren he shares with Zilis – Grimes wrote: ‘Tell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer.
‘I have never even been allowed to see a photo of these 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren until this moment, despite the situation utterly ripping my family apart.’

The tweet has since been deleted, but was written underneath a new image of Musk and the twins who he had with Zilis
Representatives for Grimes have been contacted for comment.
She allegedly wrote the comment under the newly released image of Elon Musk with the Neuralink director and the twins they quietly had together nearly two years ago.
The twins, Strider and Azure, were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in November 2021, just weeks before Musk and Boucher had their second 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 via surrogate.
Musk’s complicated personal life has involved three marriages and three divorces, including two of each with the same woman, and seven 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren from two long-term romances plus the twins with Zilis they conceived via in vitro fertilization.
Elon started dating Grimes in April 2018, and the eccentric couple captured headlines when they made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala the following month.
Amid a series of breakups and reconnections, the pair welcomed their first son ‘X AE A-XII’ in May 2020.
Their second 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 Exa Dark Sideræl, who goes by Y, was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 via surrogate in December 2021.

Musk had his other 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with his ex-wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson.
He married Justine Wilson in 2000. Their first son Nevada tragically passed away at 10 weeks in 2002, before the couple welcomed twins Griffin and Xavier in 2004.
Xavier – now 19 – has since transitioned to female. She is called Vivian and has dropped her father’s famous surname – after telling a court that she ‘no longer wishes to be related’ to him ‘in any way.’
Zilis, who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in Ontario, Canada, met Musk through OpenAI, the artificial-intelligence research-and-deployment nonprofit Musk co-founded in 2015, Insider reported.
In 2015, Zilis was on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in the venture-capital category and in 2017, joined Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink as the director of operations and special projects, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Musk and Zilis filed a petition in April last year to change the twins’ names in order to ‘have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name,’ according to the court documents.
