Musician Grimes is now asking a Texas judge to throw out the lawsuit she brought against her billionaire ex Elon Musk over the parental rights of their three children.
In a filing from earlier this month, the Canadian singer, real name Claire Boucher, claims she along with her two children, Tau Techno Mechanicus and Exa Dark Sideræl, both one-year-old, had moved to California ‘on or about’ December 31, 2022.
The information disputed Musk’s claims that the family had lived in the same house in Texas from May until July of this year.
She alleges in documents how Musk spends a great deal of time on the West Coast, noting that he is there between two and three days a week.
Musk, 52, is only in Austin, Texas about 46 percent of the time.

The Genesis singer notes that she ‘had and continues to have no continuing, systematic or minimum contacts with Texas.’
‘The court’s assumption of jurisdiction in this proceeding is inappropriate due to the specific facts and circumstances of the parties to this suit, and would offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice,’ she states.
Last month, Grimes filed a ‘petition to establish parental relationship’ in September.
The petition is a means of identifying a child’s legal parents when they are unmarried.
It can be used to begin proceedings for child custody orders and child support orders. While the docket for the case is public, the filings have been sealed.
In a now-deleted tweet to Shivon Zilis, who gave birth to the billionaire’s twins through IVF, Grimes said: ‘Tell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer.
‘I have never even been allowed to see a photo of these children until this moment, despite the situation utterly ripping my family apart.’
Zilis is an executive at Musk’s Neuralink company. She gave birth last November according to court documents but has not publicly said the two are romantically involved.
Grimes and Musk began dating in 2018 and share three children together. Their firstborn son, named X Æ A-Xii, was born in May 2020.
Their only daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, nicknamed Y, was welcomed via surrogate in December 2021, the same year the couple split.

Earlier this month Musk was snapped with X in tow at a meeting with Hungarian President Katalin Novák for talks on the world’s demographic crisis.
He met with the politician in Austin, Texas, after he was unable to make the biannual Demographic Summit in Budapest to discuss population collapse.
The entrepreneur, who has fathered 11 children, took to social media platform X after the meeting to write: ‘Having children is saving the world’.
Musk is a dad to twins Griffin and Vivian Musk, 18, and triplets Kai, Jaxon and Damian Musk, 16, with his first wife Justine Wilson. The couple also had a son, Nevada, who died at 10 weeks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 2000.
In addition to his children with Grimes, he shares 17-month-old twins Azure and Strider with Zilis.

Musk and Grimes raised eyebrows with the choice of their firstborn’s name and revealed they had to change it from X Æ A-12 to use the Roman numeral for 12 in order for it to comply with Californian laws.
Yesterday Grimes once again hit back at backlash over her son X’s name, calling it ‘the most bizarre criticism’.
Responding to a post online which questioned the choice, she said of her son: ‘He loves his name and mostly ppl think it’s cool. X men etc. X is popular at school lol.
‘Also, I don’t wanna say his friends names cuz they’re civilians but most millennials named their kids weird names – not just me.’
