Grimes is distancing himself from Elon Musk and speaking out against Nazism after the Tesla CEO made a gesture that many interpreted as a Nazi salute during one of Donald Trump’s inauguration events.
A fan account of the Canadian singer took to social media to express their frustration over Musk’s antics and the latest controversy over the one-armed gesture.
Grimes saw the post and responded on X saying they were not online and would not “make a rash statement” about the incident. The singer claimed they needed to lie down and would do research before releasing a statement.
“It’s absurd that someone can be canceled to this extent for something their ex did before they even knew it happened,” Grimes added. “I’m not him. I won’t make a statement every time he does something. I can only send love back to a world that is suffering.
Grimes, who has three children with Musk, said she preferred “the well-being of my children” rather than making statements about her former romantic partner.
“I promise you it doesn’t feel good to be hated all the time for things I don’t even know about, can’t predict, and can’t control,” Grimes said. “But I also chose this path, I accept it. I take advantage of it and I simply wish happiness and health to everyone.
In a second post, Grimes responded to another fan who asked her to denounce Nazis and the alt-right.
“I am happy to denounce Nazism – and the far right. Would that help clarify things? Grimes replied. “I just got out of breakfast and have to catch a flight, and I’m still thinking about how to approach things diplomatically because I’m feeling overwhelmed. But if that raises concerns, I’m happy to set a meaningful record. If I don’t respond before 5 a.m., it’s because there is no wifi on my flight.
Musk responded to the backlash by saying his political critics needed “better dirty tricks,” adding: “The ‘Everyone is Hitler’ attack is so tired. »
Grimes was prompted to respond to the backlash from one of her fans. However, just days before, Grimes took to X to defend Musk after his video game skills were called into question.
“I would like to state that the father of my children was the first American Druid in Diablo to clear Zir’s Slaughterhouse and finished that season as the best in the United States,” Grimes shared on also ranked in Polytopia and beat Felix himself in the match I observed these things with my own eyes There are other witnesses who can verify it.
