Grimes Claims Elon Musk Blocked Her on X Amid Co-Parenting

In a candid online moment that has drawn both curiosity and empathy, musician Grimes the ex-partner of tech billionaire Elon Musk  revealed that Musk has blocked her on the social media platform X. The revelation, shared in response to an observation raised by an X user, has brought new attention to their ongoing co-parenting situation and the complex personal dynamics that accompany high-profile relationships. 

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, clarified in her response that Musk had initially followed her on the platform, only to later block her. When asked why she no longer follows Musk, she responded with a tone that struck a balance between frustration and practicality, calling the situation “silly” and emphasizing that her priority right now is co-parenting their three children rather than engaging in public drama.

What Grimes Has Said

• Blocked on X: According to Grimes, Musk followed her briefly before blocking her account.
• Focus on Children: She insists that her attention remains on raising their three children, whose unique names including X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl have often drawn public fascination. 
• Avoiding Social Media Conflict: Grimes described the episode as “silly” and indicated she doesn’t want to be caught up in online disputes. 

Grimes and Musk began their relationship in 2018, a pairing that drew headlines then and regularly since, largely due to their high-profile careers and unconventional approach to both family and public life. Their relationship has seen several phases of separation, re-connection, and tension, accompanied by debates over parental rights and media exposure. 

Despite their personal differences, Grimes has repeatedly stated that she wants to keep interactions around co-parenting productive and grounded in the best interests of their children. Her latest remarks reflect a desire to move beyond social media spats even if those moments sometimes play out in front of millions of online followers. 

The public reaction to her comments has been mixed: some praise her commitment to focusing on family over headlines, while others see the episode as indicative of the challenges that come with blending personal relationships and public personas. 

Either way, the exchange underscores how digital platforms like X have become arenas where personal and public lives converge, often with consequences that extend well beyond 280 characters.
