ALBAWABA - Musician Claire Boucher, known as Grimes, took to social media to demand a response from her ex-partner, Elon Musk, regarding their child’s urgent medical condition. The posts, which were later deleted, expressed grave concern over the child's well-being.

According to People magazine, Grimes publicly pleaded with Musk on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "Please respond about our child's medical emergency. If you don’t act immediately, our child could face lifelong consequences."

Acknowledging her regret for addressing the issue publicly, she stressed that the urgency left her no choice. "Ignoring this is no longer acceptable. Immediate action is required," she wrote.

Grimes did not specify which of their three children was affected or disclose the nature of the medical crisis. However, she urged Musk to take responsibility, stating, "If you don’t want to speak to me, at least appoint someone to handle this situation. This is an emergency, Elon."

In response to comments from her followers, Grimes confirmed that Musk had ignored messages, emails, and skipped scheduled meetings, which forced her to go public. She added, "If public pressure is the only way to get a response, then so be it."

After a user pointed out that her posts appeared to be restricted or removed, Grimes responded with a laugh, but did not provide further clarification.
