Since they began dating more than five years ago, the relationship between businessman Elon Musk (52 years old) and singer Grimes (35 years old) has always been turbulent and has caused rivers of ink to flow. But even now, after much back and forth and ending some time ago, their union continues to make headlines. Because during their years together, the couple had three children, who are now the protagonists of a lawsuit that Grimes filed in California against Elon Musk.
Claire Boucher – the real name of the Canadian artist – filed a lawsuit last Friday, of which only one sentence is currently known: she made “a request to enter into a paternal relationship,” as quoted by media outlets such as Page Six and TMZ. On Thursday, the singer continued to write on her profile, “Tell Elon to let me see my son or please respond to my lawyer.”

With that scream, probably on the worst possible platform, Grimes seemed to be referring to the smallest of her offspring, a boy named Techno Mechanicus, affectionately known as Tau. It is the youngest of the three that he has in common with the billionaire businessman and also owner of Tesla. The first was born in May 2020, and something of a controversy arose when its name was revealed: X Æ A-12, a name that California laws forced to change. A year and a half later, in December 2021, their second daughter was born, a girl named Exa Dark Sideræl, affectionately called Y since the eldest is called X. Her arrival into the world became known a few months later when Grimes told about it. during an interview with Vanity Fair magazine. The girl was born through a surrogate mother.
At the time, the couple was going through one of their breakups. Nevertheless, they had another child, Tau, also via surrogate mother. This became known in September of this year with the publication of a biography by Walter Isaacson about the businessman. By the time the couple’s third child was born (date unknown), they were already separated again. This time it seems more forceful than the first time, when they explained that they lived “semi-separately” and intended to raise their eldest son together. This lawsuit seems to throw out the idea of a flexible couple and shows that the situation between the two is no longer so amicable.
These “calls to build a parental relationship,” as advocated by Grimes, are aimed at parents—particularly if they were not married, as in the case of Musk and Boucher and as recently happened with Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah, his partner are Identify the parents. Children legally. They are usually the first step in later formalizing a request for custody or child support. At the moment, the artist’s lawyers (who have not responded to the media on this matter) have not yet taken this step, but the first step is legal recognition.

Five of them, the twins Griffin and Vivian (née Xavier, who wants to delete their father’s last name) and the triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, come from his first marriage to the Canadian author Justine Wilson; In addition, they had another son who died 10 weeks after birth.

The couple maintains a friendly relationship.
Grimes specifically referred to Shivon Zillis in his tweet against Musk: “Tell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or please respond to my lawyer.” I have never been allowed to see a photo of these children before, Even though this situation is completely tearing my family apart.” After what he also said days later in It wasn’t her fault, please don’t be mad at her. “We respect each other very much and are happy to be friends and raise our children together.” Zilis himself replied that everything “worked out in the best way.” But in reality, it has only just begun.
