Grimes’ mother accuses Elon Musk of taking couple’s son to Olympics instead of seeing dying great-grandmother

Grimes’ mother is pleading for Elon Musk to bring her grandchildren home for a family emergency.

Sandy Garossino, the mother of the “Kill v. Maim” musician (whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher), posted a lengthy thread on social media asking that the Tesla tycoon help X Æ A-Xii, the 4-year-old son he shares with the singer, visit the child’s great-grandmother as she nears the end of her life.

Garossino attempted to publicly contact Musk on X, the social media platform he owns that shares a name with his son, because she has no other means of communicating with him. “I’m writing here as the only way I have to reach you,” she wrote on the platform. “As you know, my 93 year old mother is now at end-of-life palliative care. She yearns to see and hold Claire’s children one last time. Especially the youngest, whom she has not yet met.”

Reps for Grimes and Musk did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly’s request for comment

The singer’s mother went on to explain that the family had arranged for Musk’s children to visit Boucher’s grandmother — and accused the PayPal cofounder of taking X to the Olympics instead.

“Those hopes were crushed when the trip was canceled,” she wrote. “I am alarmed to learn that the children cannot come as you are withholding them and their needed passport documents from Claire. It was even more troubling to see you and X on television at the Olympics in Paris yesterday, after your DC trip earlier in the week.”

Garossino then said that she doesn’t even know the current location of the couple’s other children, Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus, who are younger than X.

“Where are the other children, and with whom? They are scheduled to be with their mother,” she wrote. “They were expected here in Canada.”

The musician’s mom ended her message with a heartfelt request.

“I write with a grandmother’s plea, asking you to honour your agreement, return the children, and provide the documents they need to see their great grandmother before she passes,” Garossino wrote. “Some moments in life last forever, and we get no second chances. Family is priceless.”

“Please Elon, I beg you,” she concluded. “This is so painful for my mother, and concerning for the kids. Time is of the essence now.”

This incident comes during a seemingly tumultuous chapter in the couple’s on-again, off-again relationship. After Musk said that his estranged daughter Vivian Wilson, who is transgender, had been “killed by the woke-mind virus” last week, Grimes expressed support for her online. “I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian,” the singer wrote.

Additionally, after Musk biographer Walter Isaacson shared photos of the SpaceX founder’s twins with his Neuralink employee Shivon Zilis in Sept. 2023, Grimes responded, “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.” (Grimes later apologized and said she was on good terms with Zilis.) A month later, Grimes sued Musk over parental rights.
