Grimes Voices Disapproval Over Elon Musk Bringing Their Son to Trump's Oval Office Event

2025-03-01

Grimes, the Canadian musician and former partner of Elon Musk, expressed disapproval after Musk brought their 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii (also known as Lil X), to a press conference in the Oval Office with former President Donald Trump. The event, held on Tuesday, saw Musk and Trump signing an executive order to bolster the Department of Government Efficiency’s powers. Grimes, who shares three children with Musk, took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice her concerns, stating, “He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”

During the press conference, Lil X was seen mimicking his father, picking his nose, and whispering to Trump. This is not the first time Musk has brought their son to public events; he previously took Lil X to Trump’s pre-inauguration victory rally in January, where the child was seen jumping on stage in a red sweater. Grimes has previously expressed her discomfort with Musk’s decision to involve their son in such public appearances, calling it a “personal tragedy” in a January post on X.

Grimes, known for her outspoken nature on social media, has also been vocal about her political views and has distanced herself from Musk’s alleged ties to the alt-right and controversial figures. Despite her criticism, she acknowledged her son’s polite behavior during the Oval Office event, responding to a user who praised Lil X’s manners. The incident highlights the ongoing tension between Grimes and Musk over their parenting choices and public appearances.
