Sandy Garossino, the mother of musician Claire Boucher (better known as Grimes), has taken to social media to make a heartfelt plea. Garossino claims that Elon Musk, the father of Grimes' three children, is withholding them from a planned family trip to visit her ailing mother. This emotional appeal was shared on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, as Garossino had no other way to reach him.

Garossino expressed her distress in a series of posts on X, highlighting the urgency of the situation. Her 93-year-old mother is currently in end-of-life palliative care, and the family had planned for the children to visit her. Garossino's posts indicated that Musk is withholding the children and their necessary passport documents, preventing them from making the trip. 

Garossino’s messages included personal notes to Musk, reflecting the emotional weight of the situation. She mentioned the children’s pride in making a Father’s Day card for Musk and emphasized the importance of honoring the agreement to allow the children to visit their great-grandmother. Garossino’s posts resonated with many, garnering attention and support on the platform.

Grimes and Musk, who have three children together, have had an on-and-off relationship and are currently involved in a legal custody battle in courts in California and Texas. This ongoing dispute adds complexity to the situation, making public appeals like Garossino’s one of the few ways to address immediate concerns.

Musk did not respond to Garossino’s posts on X, although he remained active on the platform. He was seen in Paris for the Olympics with at least one of the children, raising further concerns from Garossino about the whereabouts of the other children. She questioned who was caring for them and reiterated that they were scheduled to be with their mother.

Musk, the father of 12 children, has had strained relationships with some of them. Notably, his relationship with his 20-year-old transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has been publicly contentious. Musk recently referred to Wilson as "figuratively dead" due to what he described as a "woke mind virus." Wilson has criticized Musk for being an absent father and for pressuring her to conform to traditional gender norms during her childhood.

In the midst of the custody dispute, Wilson has publicly supported Grimes. On Threads, Wilson accused Musk of keeping their children away from Grimes during crucial developmental periods. Grimes also expressed her unwavering support for Wilson, emphasizing her pride and love for her daughter.
