Grimes ‘begged’ Elon Musk To Keep Their Kids Away From Phone! What’s The Real Reason?
Grimes, the Canadian-born musician, recently opened up about her concerns regarding her children’s privacy in the age of the internet. In a candid post on X, she revealed that she had “begged” her ex-partner, Elon Musk, to keep their children away from the public eye. The singer shared her distress over the growing trend of exposing young people to online scrutiny and how it could affect their well-being.
Concerns Over Internet’s Impact on Young People
The “Oblivion” singer expressed deep concern over how young people are being negatively impacted by the internet. She believes the digital world is “destroying” young individuals, and the exposure of her own children with Elon Musk is weighing heavily on her. She revealed that she has taken steps, including legal measures, to keep her children’s lives private but has found the process to be more challenging than anticipated.

- Grimes emphasized how frustrating it is that there is no way to fully protect children from online exposure.
- She stated that she constantly thinks about how to shield her children from the public eye and preserve their privacy.
A Mother’s Fear of Public Life
Grimes also voiced her desire for a legal framework that could prevent young children from being thrust into the public sphere. She mentioned that she would like to have the legal right to veto her children living public lives, but she expressed skepticism about relying on the law.

Her concerns were triggered further when Elon Musk brought their 4-year-old son, X Æ A-XII, to a White House press conference in February. Elon Musk carried their son on his shoulders during an executive order signing with President Trump, an event that Grimes later claimed she was unaware of until fans alerted her with photos.
Grimes’ Prior Outcry Over Privacy
This isn’t the first time Grimes has spoken out about her children’s privacy. Earlier this year, she condemned Elon Musk for his decision to bring their son into the public spotlight at a highly publicized event. As a mother, Grimes continues to stress that her children’s well-being should be her primary concern.

Looking for Solutions
Despite her frustrations, Grimes remains hopeful that one day there will be a solution to protect the privacy of young children, especially those of high-profile parents. Her recent posts highlight the ongoing battle between maintaining privacy and navigating public life, a struggle many parents face in the age of social media.
Grimes’ plea for privacy serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between fame, family, and the digital world.
