In a recent interview with Wired, singer-songwriter Grimes lifted the veil on her extraordinary family life with tech mogul Elon Musk, sharing captivating anecdotes about their two children that will leave you both amused and intrigued. The 35-year-old artist, known for her eclectic style and innovative music, revealed that their three-year-old son, X Ash A-12, is nothing short of a miniature genius when it comes to rockets!

Grimes’ revelations about her son’s obsession with all things space will astound you. “It’s crazy,” she exclaimed. “He knows more about rockets than I do! We had to stop giving him toys because if they aren’t anatomically correct, he gets upset. He’s definitely engineered for sure.” This kind of fascination raises questions—just how healthy is his obsession with the cosmos? But the drama didn’t stop there. Grimes recounted an emotional episode when their son reacted to SpaceX’s Starship exploding back in April. “When X saw Starship blow up, he had like a three-day PTSD meltdown,” Grimes shared. “Every hour, he was waking up and saying, ‘Starship.’ I had to rub his back.” Can you imagine the world through the eyes of a child whose father is redefining space exploration?

As for their 19-month-old daughter, nicknamed Exa Dark Sideræl (aka Y), it seems the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Grimes joked, “Yeah, she’s a little engineer too. She likes industrial shipping. She’s very strange.” With two inquisitive minds growing up in such a unique household, the potential for future innovation is astronomical.

Grimes didn’t shy away from discussing the profound impact motherhood has had on her life. “Motherhood made me a lot more optimistic,” she revealed. The once carefree artist found herself feeling a newfound social responsibility to create art that inspires hope. “Seeing my kids makes me pathologically optimistic. It’s a life mission,” she declared. As she aims to cultivate an optimistic vision of the future through her art, one can’t help but wonder if this positive outlook can transcend into society at large.

Navigating motherhood with a tech titan as a co-parent brings its own challenges. With Musk being the father of ten children across three relationships, Grimes candidly admitted, “Being Elon’s kid is not the same as being anyone else’s kid, at least in my house.” The artist wishes to foster a creative and open environment for her children, saying, “I want it to be more of a crazy warehouse situation and a cool art space.”

Reflecting on her relationship with Elon, which lasted from 2018 to 2021, Grimes noted the extraordinary learning experience she gained during their time together. “I learned from him like the best internship ever,” she said. “People don’t like talking about Elon, but it was incredible to be right there watching all that SpaceX stuff happen. That’s a master class in leadership and engineering.” Her journey alongside Musk has molded her into a more resilient individual, stating, “I’m now way tougher and smarter than I used to be.” But it’s not just about learning from him; Grimes playfully suggested that Elon might have picked up a thing or two from her as well, hinting, “Maybe to have fun.”

Grimes’ insights into her family life with Elon Musk reveal a tapestry of brilliance, creativity, and emotional depth that is anything but ordinary. As their children explore their unique passions in a world where technology meets art, one thing is certain: the future of this stellar family is as limitless as the universe itself. Buckle up, because this cosmic adventure is just getting started! 🌌✨
