"Please respond to our child's medical dilemma. I apologize for doing this publicly, but it is no longer appropriate to overlook this problem. This deserves immediate attention," Grimes, actual name Claire Elise Boucher, said in a since-deleted post on Musk's X (previously Twitter) on Thursday.

The Canadian singer and Musk share three children: X Æ A-Xii, three-year-old daughter Exa Dark Siderael, and two-year-old boy Tau Techno Mechanicus. "If you don't want to speak with me, please designate or recruit someone who can, so that we can move forward with this. "This is urgent, Elon," Grimes said on X, without mentioning the severity of the medical problem.

Grimes also took to X earlier this month to respond to Musk's decision to send their 4-year-old son to the White House for a news appearance, as Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) work to slash government expenditure and federal employee numbers.

"He should not be in public like this," Grimes wrote. "I didn't see this; thank you for notifying me. But I am delighted he was courteous. Sigh." Musk has twelve known offspring from three different mothers. In 2024, he had his third kid with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.

On February 14, author Ashley St. Clair claimed on X that she had given birth to Musk's 13th child five months earlier.

What is Bell's Palsy? Signs, triggers, and treatment options

Image
Bell’s palsy is a neurological disorder that causes temporary facial paralysis, typically affecting only one side of the face. This condition can result in symptoms such as a lopsided smile, difficulty closing one eyelid, and a drooping face. Though the condition is temporary for most, it can significantly impact daily life. Lil Nas X reveals he's been hospitalized, says he's 'lost control' of half his face.

' Jenna Ortega. ' Getty Images ‎ ‎Ortega, who played Tara Carpenter in 2022’s Scream and 2023’s Scream VI, exited the franchise in November 2023—just one day after Barrera was dismissed over her pro-Palestinian social media posts.

However, she now admits that was not the truth. ‎ ‎“It had nothing to do with pay or scheduling,” Ortega told The Cut. “The Melissa stuff was happening, and it was all kind of falling apart. If ‘Scream VII’ wasn’t going to be with that team of directors and those people I fell in love with, then it didn’t seem like the right move for me in my career at the time.” ‎ ‎B...
