Elon Musk Sued by Ashley St. Clair for Sole Custody of Baby

Elon and the singer dated on-and-off for four years, starting in 2018. In September 2021, Elon told Page Six that he and Grimes “are, I’d say, probably semi-separated,” adding, “It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room.”

However, in March 2022, she told Vanity Fair that they “live in separate houses” and are “best friends.”

She later tweeted, “Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now.” 

When news broke in September 2023 that the couple had three children together, the “Crystal Ball” singer confirmed that, yes, their most recent addition Techno Mechanicus had joined son X Æ A-12 and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl.

In November 2024, Grimes revealed that she had “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,” all the while, “fighting and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me.”

Fighting with just a “fraction” of his resources, she was kept from one of her kids for five months, she continued, adding, “This is only what can be said publicly, since most of my experience these last years should remain behind closed doors.”
