Children of Elon Musk
The Canadian artist, whose real name is Claire Bucher, shares three children with the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX: X æ A-XII (aka Lil X), Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and Techno Mechanicus (aka Tau).
The former couple announced their split in September 2021, affirming their breakup three years later, while stating, “they still love each other.” Following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election in November last year, Musk was appointed Potus to lead a new department focused on government efficiency (DOGE).
Since then, the couple’s children have drawn increasing public attention. In February, Graims criticized the billionaire for taking Lil X around the Oval Office during a time when Trump signed an order supporting government authorities.
Concerns About Public Exposure
Graims addressed concerns regarding her family’s privacy. In response to a widespread fake post on X/Twitter claiming she was discussing the “sexuality and breaks” of “Fortune 500 Directors,” a fan asked her how to protect her children from such exposure and if she could remove the content from the Internet. Graims expressed her desire to find a solution, stating, “Art imitates life, and I hope you will find a solution.”
Graims responded, stating, “Unfortunately, I do not control the Internet and cannot erase it. I have tried asking the audience and my children’s father to respect their privacy, and I have pursued legal action.”
She continued, “The public exposure of my children’s lives is a serious concern. I think about how to address it every day. It is unsettling that there’s no effective way to combat this issue. I hope for some law that would empower parents to veto public exposure of their young children, but I lack confidence in the legal system for assistance.”
“We are in the wild west of information content and privacy dismantlement, and this is crucial,” she added.
Unfortunately, I do not control the Internet and I cannot erase it. I’ve asked the audience and my children’s father to leave them in peace, and I’ve attempted legal recourse. I notice what’s being done to young ones on the Internet too.

Graims’ recent comments follow her allegations against Musk for “ignoring” the “medical crisis” of one of their children last month. She did not specify which child was affected and offered no further details. She stated, “I regret making this public, but it’s unacceptable to ignore this situation. It requires immediate attention,” on X/Twitter, the platform Musk acquired in 2022 for $44 billion.
“If you don’t want to communicate with me, could you appoint or hire someone who can so we can move forward? This is urgent, Elon,” she urged.
In a separate message, Graims explained: “I won’t provide details, but he hasn’t responded to texts, calls, or emails, and has missed every meeting. Our child will suffer lifelong consequences if this isn’t addressed quickly, so I need to escalate things publicly if necessary.”
In November last year, Graims shared her struggles regarding Musk’s involvement in their children’s lives, stating, “I have not seen one of my children for five months.” In the summer, her mother, Sandy Garossino, appealed to Musk to allow her 93-year-old mother to visit her great-grandchildren “for the last time” as she approached the end of her life.
In 2023, Graims filed a lawsuit against Musk for guardianship rights over Tau, claiming he had prevented her from visiting. Musk has a total of 13 children, some conceived via IVF.
Graims also recently clarified her stance on Musk’s controversial gestures during Trump’s presidential inauguration last month.
In other news, Graims released two previously unreleased tracks on SoundCloud: “I Am Not F***ing, I Am Crazy” and “Fool.”
