Elon Musk’s baby mama Grimes wants the world to know: She is against Nazism.
She made the statement in the hours following a particularly evocative salute made by Musk on stage during President Donald Trump’s inaugural proceedings—which many online have likened to the “Sieg Heil” gesture used in Nazi Germany.
“I’m happy to denounce Nazism and the far alt-right,” the Canadian singer, 36, posted on X as fans expressed frustration at her silence on Musk’s controversial gesture.
We understand that you are unwilling to directly talk about his actions but please denounce all the all-right/Nazi’s that feel comfortable in your comments. It would do a lot of good to clarify your stance right now.

Grimes, whose legal name is Claire Elise Boucher, said she wasn’t aware that the father of her three kids had starred in yet another controversy.
“[I] am still debating how to approach things diplomatically because I feel in over my head,” she wrote. “But if there’s concern about that, I am happy to set the record straight in a meaningful way.”
At Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, Musk came on stage to give a brief speech and concluded with two salutes that many have likened to the Nazi or Roman salute.
A Grimes fan later said they were considering getting rid of their tattoo of the artist over the issue, prompting the singer to issue a lengthy response.

“It’s absurd that someone can be this canceled for something their ex did before they even heard it happened,” Grimes said. “I am not him. I will not make a statement every time he does something.”
The singer argued that she was not a U.S. citizen and did not want to issue a rash statement before knowing what happened.
