In a [since-deleted post on X-formerly-Twitter](), the 36-year-old songstress and producer Claire "Grimes" Boucher implored Elon Musk to "plz respond about our child's medical crisis." Although we don't know much about the situation, including which of their three children she's referencing or what the kid is going through, whatever is going on clearly has the "Oblivion" singer spooked. "I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation," she continued. "This requires immediate attention." Seemingly at wit's end, Grimes insisted that if Musk didn't want to speak to her directly he could "designate or hire someone who can do that we can move forward on solving" the "urgent" issue. The entreaties — which came less than a week after conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed that she'd [secretly given birth to Musk's 13th child]() — didn't end there. In [another deleted post](), Boucher refused to provide further details about the child or what medical issue they're having — but seemingly had no such reticence about putting Musk's behavior on blast. "I'm not giving any details but he won’t respond to texts call or emails and has skipped every meeting and our child will suffer life long impairment if he doesn’t respond asap," she wrote, "so I need him to fucking respond and if I have to apply public pressure then I guess that’s where we are at." Though this isn't the first time Grimes has turned to social media to [get her ex's attention about their kids](), this situation is, if she's to be believed, far more serious due to the mysterious "medical crisis" she mentioned. Whatever is going on, it is starting to seem that [Musk's gross father]() was right on one count: he's not a good dad, and the way he handles his progeny is clearly harmful. **More on Elon Musk:** [*Elon Musk Is Such a Garbage-Tier Dad That His Kids Find Out About Their New Siblings While Browsing Reddit*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.

I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series.

In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set.
