Grimes Opens Up About Custody Battle With Elon Musk Following Texas Settlement

Elon Musk and Grime’s custody battle in Texas has been settled, with the latter saying she was “going bankrupt” for fighting for her three children.

Musk and Grimes had been embroiled in a custody fight over their three children: X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. Business Insider reported that the clerk’s office in Travis County confirmed that a judge issued a final order in August, but the resolution was not publicly disclosed. 

However, Grimes posted on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, that fear of losing her kids was the reason she wasn’t releasing many projects.

“The threat of losing ur kids while going bankrupt fighting for them is not very conducive to creative thoughts,” she wrote. “I just slept and cried every minute I wasn’t explicitly fighting for my kids during that year.”

Grimes was in considerable disadvantage with Musk, who is currently the world’s richest man.

“Spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights having my instagram posts and modeling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids and fighting and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me, with a fraction of his resources (or iq/ strategy experience), all the while I didn’t see one of my babies for 5 months,” she said.

While Texas and California, where Grimes filed her lawsuit, use the same standards for determining custody, the Lone Star State caps child-support payment at $2,760 for three children. California has no cap.

While Musk is attempting to present himself as a family man, one of his daughters described him as “cruel,” “narcissistic,” “uncaring,” and “very quick to anger.”
