Elon Musk’s ex-Grimes insists she wasn’t ‘dumped’ by billionaire: ‘I bounced back’

Elon Musk’s ex Grimes insisted she was not dumped by the billionaire businessman – and confirmed she had reunited with at least one of their three children.

Last month, the 36-year-old singer, real name Claire Elise Boucher, opened up about Musk, 53, and claimed he wouldn’t let her see their children.

The former couple share two sons, X Æ A-Xii and Techno Mechanicus, as well as a daughter Exa Dark Sideræl.

Grimes and Musk were together for four years before splitting in 2022, and she now claims she was the one who decided to end their relationship.

The Canadian singer made the comments on X, formerly Twitter, in response to a post from Azealia Banks, who accused her of being “cheated” and “dumped” by Musk.

Their war of words began when Grimes responded to a photoshopped image of her and Banks as Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked, and wrote, “I hate to say it, but this would have been a little lit.”

However, Banks was clearly unimpressed with the post and replied: “@Grimezsz girl the way you still try to stand up to **innocent bulls** years later after being dumped, cheated on, your children kidnapped and I always try to paint myself as the bad guy and act like you are above me.

“You can really stop mentioning me.” I know you wish you could be my best friend, but bitch… it’s really boring. Forget it,” she added.

Grimes replied to his post and said: “It’s just a funny joke bro. I’m not trying to paint you as a bad guy. I wasn’t “dumped”. I bounced back.

“My amazing baby is sleeping in my bed next to me, I’m in love. No regrets. Life is as good as you make it.

“You are incredibly talented. even after all this, I want you to win. God bless you (my lady),” she added.

When an X user responded to Grimes’ post and called Banks “problematic,” she responded, “She’s the best hater on the planet.”

“The Da Vinci of insults. At some point, I just gave up and accepted the fact that I enjoy the craziness of existence.

The two women have been feuding since 2018, when they first became embroiled in a very public feud.

Banks made headlines in August of that year after claiming that Grimes invited her to Musk’s Los Angeles estate so Banks could collaborate on music.

But Banks compared his time at home to the horror film Get Out in a scathing Instagram post.

The rapper claimed via her Stories that Grimes spent the weekend comforting Musk, who tweeted at the time about plans to take his Tesla company private for $420 per share.

Banks claimed that Musk regretted the tweet because he had not yet secured the financing needed to take the company private.

She also made allegations linking the mogul to drug use, including marijuana. Musk has denied ever meeting Banks, according to The Guardian.

A few years later, in 2021, Grimes reignited the feud by announcing that her new song at the time, 100% Tragedy, was “about having to defeat Azealia Banks when she tried to destroy my life.

Banks responded by saying, “Grimes definitely has a psychosexual obsession with me. I think it’s bitterness because she doesn’t have the musical ability that I have.

“Everything she does is out of pretension and it comes out that way… whereas everything I do is out of natural swag and genius.”

After her separation from Gimes, Musk filed a lawsuit seeking custody of their children in Texas, where his companies are headquartered.

Grimes then countersued by filing a “petition to establish parental relationship” in a California court, generally considered the first step in a custody action for unmarried parents.

She claimed Musk denied access to her children and even prevented them from seeing their terminally ill maternal grandmother.

A Travis County clerk confirmed the Texas dispute had been settled, but declined to provide further details.
