Grimes’ Mom Claims Elon Musk Is ‘Withholding’ Couple’s 3 Kids from Visiting Their Dying Great-Grandma in Canada

This is so painful for my mother, and concerning for the kids,” the singer’s mom, journalist Sandy Garossino, wrote on X,

Grimes’ mother has accused Elon Musk of “withholding” the couple’s children and preventing them from visiting their ailing great-grandmother in Canada.

Sandy Garossino — the mother of the Canadian musician, 36, born Claire Boucher — made the claims in a “grandmother’s plea” that she shared in a thread of several posts on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, July 27.

Garossino, a columnist for Canada’s National Observer, formatted the plea like a letter, beginning, “Dear Elon @elonmusk It was nice seeing you on Father’s Day. I hope you got the card that I helped X make. He was so proud of it.”

I’m writing here as the only way I have to reach you,” she wrote. “As you know, my 93 year old mother is now at end-of-life palliative care. She yearns to see and hold Claire’s children one last time. Especially the youngest, whom she has not yet met.”

The journalist went on to say that her mom was “thrilled” to see the ex-couple’s three young children — X Æ A-Xii, 4, Exa Dark Sideræl, 2½, and Techno “Tau” Mechanicus — on her birthday on Saturday, “but those hopes were crushed when the trip was canceled.”
