Grimes calls ex Elon Musk’s platform X ‘poison’ and ‘a prison’ in scathing takedown
Grimes condemns Elon Musk’s X in social media post
- Canadian musician Grimes has strongly criticized Elon Musk's social media platform X, labelling it “a prison” and “a theater.”
- The 37-year-old, who shares three children with the Tesla CEO, made her latest remarks on X after returning to the platform following a period offline.
- Grimes described X, and social media generally, as “overwhelmingly abundantly and profoundly clear that this place… is a poison — a prison of utterly short form deep sounding nonsense.”
- This is not her first critique; she previously stated that social media is “very unhealthy” and a “ghost town of depression, bitterness.”
- She has also consistently urged Musk to keep their children out of the public eye, expressing deep concern over their lack of privacy and the absence of legal protections for young children online.
