Tech billionaire Elon Musk and his former partner, the acclaimed singer Grimes, may have ended their romantic relationship, but they remain connected through their three young children. In a recent social media revelation, Grimes opened up about what she describes as the "unusual" qualities and abilities of their offspring, sparking widespread curiosity and discussion among fans and followers.
Grimes Discusses the 'Unmatched' Aura of Her Children
Taking to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, on January 22, the 37-year-old artist shared heartfelt insights about her kids. Grimes emphasized her commitment to protecting their privacy, stating that she tries to avoid discussing or showing them publicly to respect their right to anonymity. However, she felt compelled to express that their "pure aura is unmatched," highlighting a unique spiritual or energetic quality she perceives in them.
Revelation of a Strange Ability
In a surprising turn, Grimes disclosed an extraordinary claim about one of her children. She mentioned that this child once "inexplicably commanded a flock of crows for a while," describing the incident as unusual and possibly biased due to her parental perspective. Adding to the intrigue, Grimes noted that her father also has an "allegiant flock of crows," which she found hilarious, suggesting a possible familial connection or shared trait.
Parenting Approaches and Screen Time Debate
As netizens flooded the comment section with questions, Grimes engaged in candid discussions about co-parenting with Elon Musk. One user inquired about screen time, a common concern in today's digital age. Grimes revealed that there is a "huge debate" on the topic, as the "other parent"—referring to Musk—is fine with it, but she generally avoids it. When screen time does occur, she focuses on exposing the children to "great art" and slower-paced content, such as Studio Ghibli films, known for their calm and thoughtful narratives.
Commitment to Children's Privacy
This is not the first instance where Grimes has prioritized her children's privacy. In March 2025, she publicly urged Musk to keep their kids out of the spotlight, reinforcing her stance on shielding them from public scrutiny. Her recent comments further underscore this dedication, as she balances sharing glimpses of their lives with maintaining their anonymity.
