Grimes has taken to social media to say she is “enraged” she can’t shield her and Elon Musk‘s daughter from pervasive online “beauty culture”.

The Canadian artist (real name Claire Boucher) shares three children with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO: X Æ A-Xii (aka Lil X), Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and Techno Mechanicus (aka Tau).

The former couple announced their split in September 2021, confirming that they had broken up after three years together but “still love each other”. However, the ‘Oblivion’ artist has been increasingly critical of the billionaire’s parental choices after the tech mogul paraded Lil X around the Oval Office in the White House back in February.

More recently, she took to X/Twitter – which Musk purchased for a staggering $44billion in 2022 – to lament feeling “choked to death on beauty culture”. The singer went on to say she’d been listening to a “super bro mens podcast” which usually gives her “laughably misdirected” adverts, when she instead got one for beauty outlet Sephora.

The insidiousness of what our culture does to young women is insane. I feel enraged knowing I won't be able to protect my daughter from this. What a monumental waste of mental space. All the large tech and media companies are complicit in this.

Having now even the podcasts… https://t.co/iZDRWmK796
