Grimes is seen for the FIRST time since Elon Musk confirmed they welcomed a third child together while moderating a live debate in Los Angeles
Grimes was spotted for the first time since Elon Musk confirmed they welcomed their third child together, a son named Tau Techno Mechanicus.
On Wednesday evening, the 35-year-old Canadian singer moderated a live debate on the topic ‘Has the sexual revolution failed?’ at the Ace Hotel Theater in Los Angeles.
In addition, writer and podcaster Sarah Haider argued that the sexual revolution had succeeded.
While the mother of three didn’t speak about Musk, 52, she did express her concerns about the world their children will grow up in, expressing her fears that with AI girlfriends, “women could be obsolete within five years.”

An attendee at the event claimed she was calling for more “cinematic porn.”
‘I hope living women still have a chance!’ said the musician.
While discussing pornography, Grimes stated that digital life has made accessing porn “a lot easier.”
‘I wouldn’t want my children to see it, I think it damages relationships. But we can make better porn. Why are the scripts so bad? Why is the music so bad? Why isn’t there nice cinematic porn?’ she asked the audience.
She added: ‘As far as I know, there are no lessons in any school on how to be a good father or mother. Conversely, I know many people who experience satisfaction from unconventional sex lives.’
“The sexual revolution is good if we can get to the finish line,” says the Vancouver resident.
Grimes went on to state that “every job should provide childcare” and that there are a lot of old people who “languish” and “want to be with babies.”
Following a public vote, Grimes and Sarah won the debate with 51 percent of the vote after competing against British journalist Louise Perry and Red Scare podcaster Anna Khachiyan.

This is her first sighting since Musk revealed they share an undisclosed third child with Grimes, days after she accused him of keeping her from seeing their children.
In a post on X late Saturday, Musk confirmed that the son’s name is Tau Techno Mechanicus, or Tau for short, following a book review in the New York Times first announced the child’s existence.
It was already known that Musk shared two children with the singer: three-year-old son X Æ A-12, who goes by ‘X’, and one-year-old daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, affectionately known as ‘Y’.
Tau’s age was not disclosed.
The revelation came shortly after Grimes begged Musk, writing “show me my son” in a now-deleted social media post – but it is now unclear whether she was referring to Tau, or their eldest son X.
The Greek letter Tau, which resembles the letter ‘T’ in style, is derived from the Phoenician letter taw, which was written as the modern letter ‘X’, an apparent obsession of Musk. He has changed Twitter’s name to X since purchasing the social media platform last year.

Musk dated Claire Boucher, who goes by her stage name Grimes, for about three years, and the couple semi-broke up in March 2022, although they said at the time that they remained close.
The billionaire had a total of eleven children, including his firstborn with ex-wife Justine Wilson, who tragically died at a young age from cot death.
Musk welcomed twins with Neuralink director Shivon Zilis in November 2021, just weeks before Musk and Grimes had their second child via surrogate.

Complicated: This is her first sighting since Musk revealed they share an undisclosed third child with Grimes, days after she accused him of keeping her from seeing their kids
Musk’s complicated personal life included three marriages and three divorces, including two with the same woman, and seven children from two long-term romances plus the twins with Zilis that they conceived via in vitro fertilization.
Elon started dating Grimes in April 2018, and the eccentric couple made headlines when they made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala the following month.
Amid a series of breakups and reconnections, the couple welcomed their first son ‘X AE A-XII’ in May 2020.
Their second child Exa Dark Sideræl, named Y, was born via surrogate in December 2021.
Musk had his other children with his ex-wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson.

He married Justine Wilson in 2000. Their first son Nevada tragically passed away at ten weeks in 2002, before the couple welcomed twins Griffin and Xavier in 2004.
Xavier – now 19 – has since transitioned to being a woman. Her name is Vivian and she has famously dropped her father’s surname – after telling the court she no longer wanted to be related to him in any way.
Zilis, a native of Ontario, Canada, met Musk through OpenAI, the nonprofit artificial intelligence research and implementation organization that Musk co-founded in 2015, Insider reported.
In 2015, Zilis was named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in the venture capital category, and in 2017 she joined Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink as director of operations and special projects, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Musk and Zilis filed a petition last April to change the twins’ names so that they “have their father’s last name and their mother’s last name as part of their middle name,” according to the court documents.
The photo of Musk, Zilis and the twins – posted by Musk’s biographer Walter Isaacson – was taken at Zilis’ home in Austin, Texas, according to an excerpt from the biography published in Time.
