    The singer, born Claire Boucher, showed her disapproval over the tech billionaire parading their four-year-old son X Æ A-Xii in public.

    Elon appeared with the boy during an event in Washington, D.C. last month and was accused of using his son as a “prop.”

    He also took the child to the White House on February 11, letting the boy make faces at the camera and hide behind the US president’s desk.

    Grimes recently said it is a “grave” concern for her to see her children turning into mini-celebs.

    “I have tried begging the public and my kids dad to keep them offline, and I’ve tried legal recourse,” she wrote in her recent tweets. “ … I’ve seen young ppl destroyed by the internet too.”

    “The state of my children’s lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day,” she added.

    The singer said she hoped there was a law that “would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives.”

    “But I don’t even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it tbh,” she added.

    Grimes’ fresh concerns came while she was addressing a resurfaced fake post about the former couple’s racy bedroom activities.

    The fake post, believed to have first started circulating in 2022, seemingly showed Grimes saying “many Fortune 500 CEOs” enjoy a certain kink and suggested there are videos of it as well.

    She also said he “shouldn’t be mad” if the risqué video “got uploaded” online.

    As Grimes reshared the post, she maintained that the “scandal” about the billionaire’s alleged kinks is “untrue.”

    She said the post is “cringe a f***”

    “There’s no way out of this situation at this point besides performance art,” she added.

    When an X user asked if she couldn’t “wipe this garbage” from the internet and how her kids would be protected from it, Grimes said, “I unfortunately do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet.”

    Several netizens sided with Grimes and criticized Elon for unnecessarily putting the spotlight on their child.

    “He’s a little human shield that’s why,” one commenter said, while another wrote, “I’d be pissed if my kid’s father used my child as a human shield

    “He doesn’t care! its all about his ego and the child is a prop,” wrote another.

    One said, “he should not have all that publicity and tote around with his dad.”

    Stop making babies with him!” another implored. “She had children with a psychopath,” one said.

    “Too late. He’s using his little mini me to get him better ratings,” a social media user said

    Grimes and Elon dated on and off between 2018 and 2022. They became parents to their first child together, X Æ A-Xii, in 2020. They quietly welcomed Exa Dark Sideræl, 3, via surrogacy in September 2021.

    They also had a third child together, Techno Mechanicus, 1, born in June 2022.

    Grimes revealed that she found out about her oldest son’s appearance at the Oval Office last month from the internet.

    “He should not be in public like this,” she said, responding to a post about the incident. “I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”

    During an interview with Time last month, she said she would like “people to stop posting images” of her children everywhere.

    “Fame is something you should consent to,” she said.

    “Obviously, things will just be what they are. But I would really, really appreciate that,” she added. “I can only ask, so I’m just asking.”

    The same month, she was seen using social media to plead with the tech mogul to help with their child’s “medical crisis.”

    “Plz respond … I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation,” she wrote. “This requires immediate attention.”

    The SpaceX CEO has welcomed at least 14 children over the years. He and his first wife, Justine Wilson, lost their firstborn, Nevada Alexander, at 10 weeks old due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

    In addition to his three children with Grimes, he also welcomed twins Strider and Azure with Shivon Zilis, an employee at his company Neuralink.

    Elon and Shivon went on to welcome their third child Arcadia in 2024.

    Last month, Shivon announced on X that they welcomed their fourth son, Seldon Lycurgus.

    Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair made a public announcement last month, saying she gave birth to Elon’s child last year.

    “He doesn’t care about the kid. He only cares about his insecure self-image,” a social media user said

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

    She’s just as awful a person as he is. The only innocent in all this is little Kevlar Musk.

    "Kevlar"! That's the funniest thing I've heard this week! It wouldn't surprise me a bit that he would use that child as a protective shield. He was whingeing on about being assassinated recently.

    Not matter how sad i might get or negative about myself I might feel, I remember that multiple people not only voluntarily had s*x with Musk, but also, bred offspring with him. This makes me realize that there are others much lower on the animal scale than I

    They didn't have s*x with him, the children were born via IVF. He wanted control of gender of the babies. That's why he's so pissed at his transgender daughter.
