Lately, she and Musk have made headlines for their differences in parenting styles. In early March, she tweeted that she has "begged" her former partner to stop having their children in the public eye or posting them online, even turning to "legal recourse." Her words were prompted by a fake post on X that purported to show her talking about the "sexuality" of "Fortune 500 CEOs." She also replied to a fan who asked, "How to protect your children from this? Can't you wipe this garbage from the internet?" Jesse Grant/Getty "I unfortunately do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet," Grimes told the fan. "I have tried begging the public and my kid's dad to keep them offline, and I've tried legal recourse. I follow you here, I've seen young [people] destroyed by the internet too." Musk, who is currently a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, was also called out by Grimes after she learned ofX Æ A-Xiibeing in the Oval Office from an X user. "He should not be in public like this," the singerwrote on Xat the time. "I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I'm glad he was polite. Sigh."
