Sandy Garossino, the grandmother of three of Elon Musk’s children, took to social media platform X to plead with Musk to respond about the cancellation of a planned visit for the children to see their great-grandmother, who is in end-of-life palliative care. She stated that Musk was withholding the children’s passport documents from their mother, Claire Boucher, also known as Grimes. Grimes shared the post to her followers, expressing concern about the situation. Musk, who has been in a legal battle with Grimes over custody, did not immediately respond to the plea.
Grimes and Musk have three children together and have been involved in an off-and-on relationship for several years. The grandmother expressed her distress at seeing Musk in Paris for the Olympics with at least one of the children, when they were supposed to be with their mother. She highlighted the urgency of the situation as her 93-year-old mother’s health is deteriorating, and it was her birthday on the day she made the plea. Garossino asked Musk to honor the agreement, return the children, and provide the necessary documents for them to visit their great-grandmother before she passes.
Musk, who is the father of 12 children, faced scrutiny this week when comments he made about his transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson came to light. In an interview, he referred to Wilson as figuratively dead and infected with a “woke mind virus.” Wilson, in response, revealed that Musk was absent during her childhood and criticized him for pressuring her to conform to certain gender stereotypes. Grimes publicly expressed support for Wilson, stating that she was proud of her.
In a post on Threads, Wilson expressed her support for Grimes in the custody dispute and accused Musk of keeping the children away from their mother during a crucial developmental period in their lives. She suggested that Musk was behaving irresponsibly as a father and reiterated her stance against his previous comments about her. Grimes and Wilson’s statements shed light on the complex dynamic within Musk’s family and the ongoing legal battles over custody rights.
The situation involving Musk, Grimes, their children, and the wider family continues to unfold as the public becomes aware of the complexities and disagreements within the family dynamic. Garossino’s plea for Musk to respond and honor the custody agreement adds another layer to the ongoing saga, highlighting the emotional toll that legal battles over custody can take on families. As the story develops, it remains to be seen how Musk will address the concerns raised by Garossino and how the family dynamics will evolve in response to the public spotlight on their personal struggles.
