Singer and artist Grimes has reportedly expressed frustration over tech billionaire Elon Musk’s decision to allow their son, X Æ A-12, to appear in multiple public settings — including high-profile political environments and viral media moments.
Recent images that circulated online show Musk with his son in various public outings. In one photo, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO is seen holding X at what appears to be a family gathering with Grimes nearby. Other snapshots include a sweet moment of Grimes playing with her son outdoors, contrasting with another where Musk is seen taking the boy to the Oval Office, even standing beside President Joe Biden.
Sources close to Grimes say she is deeply concerned about her child being thrust into the public eye at such a young age, especially in politically charged or media-heavy environments. “She’s protective and believes children should have privacy, especially when they are too young to make decisions about their public exposure,” an insider told a celebrity news outlet.
Grimes and Musk have had an on-and-off relationship, and co-parenting has often been complicated by their differing views on publicity and privacy. While Musk appears comfortable involving his son in public appearances, Grimes reportedly wants to preserve a more private upbringing.
As discussions about celebrity children’s privacy continue to grow, this disagreement between the two prominent figures highlights the ongoing debate: how much exposure is too much when it comes to kids in the spotlight?
