Grimes has made a heartfelt appeal to Elon Musk, urging him to allow their children to visit their great-grandmother, who is currently in end-of-life palliative care. The emotional plea comes from Grimes’ mother, Sandy Garossino, who expressed her deep concern for her 93-year-old mother’s wish to see her great-grandchildren one last time.
Grimes and Musk share three children: X Æ A-12, born in May 2020; Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, born via surrogate in December 2021; and a third child, Techno Mechanicus, known as Tau, revealed in late 2023. The family dynamics have been complicated, especially with ongoing custody disputes.
In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Garossino shared her distress over the situation. She mentioned that her mother was eagerly anticipating a visit from the children to celebrate her birthday, but those plans were abruptly canceled. Garossino expressed her alarm, stating that Musk was withholding the children and their necessary passport documents, preventing them from visiting their great-grandmother.
In her emotional message, Garossino wrote, “I am alarmed to learn that the children cannot come as you are withholding them and their needed passport documents from Claire.” She further questioned Musk’s whereabouts, noting that he was seen enjoying the Olympics in Paris with their son X, while the other children were supposed to be with their mother in Canada.
Garossino’s plea was filled with urgency as she emphasized the importance of family and the fleeting nature of time. “Some moments in life last forever, and we get no second chances. Family is priceless,” she wrote. She implored Musk to honor their agreement and allow the children to see their great-grandmother before it’s too late.
The situation has been exacerbated by the ongoing tensions between Grimes and Musk, particularly regarding custody rights. Grimes previously took legal action against Musk, claiming he was restricting her access to their children. This latest development has reignited discussions about their tumultuous relationship and the impact it has on their family.
In the midst of this family crisis, Musk has also been in the news for his controversial comments regarding his estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson. In a recent interview, he made remarks that were widely criticized, leading Wilson to publicly respond and defend herself. She described her father as “cold” and “uncaring,” sharing her experiences of feeling neglected during her upbringing.
Grimes has publicly supported Wilson, expressing pride in her daughter’s courage to speak out against Musk. This support has further complicated the dynamics between Grimes and Musk, as it appears to have influenced Musk’s decisions regarding their children.
As the situation unfolds, Grimes continues to advocate for her children’s right to see their great-grandmother. The emotional weight of this plea highlights the complexities of family relationships, especially in the face of illness and impending loss. Grimes’ mother’s heartfelt message serves as a reminder of the importance of family connections and the need for compassion during difficult times.
The public nature of this family dispute has drawn significant attention, with many expressing sympathy for Grimes and her family. The hope remains that Musk will reconsider his stance and allow the children to visit their great-grandmother, fulfilling a wish that holds profound significance for the family.
As the days pass, the urgency of the situation grows, and the call for family unity resonates louder. Grimes’ plea is not just about a visit; it’s about cherishing the moments that matter most in life, especially when time is limited.
