Elon Reeve Musk, commonly known as Elon Musk, is the world's richest person with a mammoth net worth of USD 436.8 billion. The 53-year-old billionaire business tycoon is the proud owner and founder of many big companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly known as Twitter), The Boring Company, DOGE, Neuralink, xAI, SolarCity, and many more. The renowned technology and business magnate operates in multiple sectors, including space, electric vehicles, clean energy, artificial intelligence, and more.
Not only this but with each passing year, Elon Musk's influence in US politics is also grabbing a lot of attention. The billionaire also has a great relationship with US President-elect, Donald Trump. We have repeatedly seen them backing each other in their respective endeavours. For instance, on December 22, 2024, Donald Trump picked Sriram Krishnan as the Senior White House Policy Advisor on AI and received much backlash from his followers.
The President-elect, Donald Trump's supporters, MAGA (Make America Great Again), have criticised him for favouring green card holders over native citizens. Several Americans are asking questions like "Did any of you all (Americans) vote for this Indian to run America?" Amidst all this backlash, Elon Musk came forward and backed Donald Trump by stating in his tweet that if Americans want to see their country win, they have to make sure that the world's best talent should be working for them and not for the other side. An excerpt from his tweet can be read as:
"It comes down to this: do you want America to WIN or do you want America to LOSE. If you force the world's best talent to play for the other side, America will LOSE. End of story."
After Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk backed the US President-elect, Donald Trump, amidst the anti-Indian sentiment in America, popular singer, Grimes has also extended her views on the same. For the uninitiated, Grimes is Elon Musk's ex-partner, who is a popular musician and artist, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher. The 36-year-old Canadian singer took to her X handle and penned a long note in which she opened up about her family connection to India.
Grimes revealed that her stepfather is an Indian, and she was brought up in a half-Indian household. The singer also added that Indian culture jives well with Western culture. Not only this, she also criticised the 'anti-Indian energy' that is doing rounds in America after Donald Trump appointed Sriram Krishnan as a senior policy advisor for AI.

In another tweet, Grimes also added that the US doesn't have the talent and they don't have the time to build expertise. As a result, they must hire top talent. Here's a look at Grimes' tweet that is getting a major thumbs-up from her ex-partner, Elon Musk and the US President-elect's massive fanbase. An excerpt from one of her tweets can be read as:
"My step dad's Indian, I had a fire childhood in a half Indian household. Indian culture jives very well w western culture. The talent is not here. This isn't a discussion about 'regular tech jobs'."
After Elon Musk's ex-girlfriend, Grimes, extended support to Donald Trump amidst the hate against Indians in the US, people are now curious to know more about the singer's Indian roots. For the uninitiated, Grimes is the daughter of renowned columnist, Sandy Garossino. According to several reports, Sandy was married to Maurice Boucher, and together, they welcomed Grimes into their happy married life.
However, after some time, they reportedly got divorced, and Sandy Garossino got married to Ravi Sidhoo. For the uninitiated, Ravi is the director of Vancouver-based East India Carpets. The company was started by Ravi's father, Jab Sidhoo, back in 1948, and he was the first design resident of Vancouver. Expanding his father's legacy to even further heights, Ravi is doing almost everything to take East India Carpets to the next level.
Elon Musk and Grimes made their first-ever public appearance together at the 2018 Met Gala. Soon, they started dating and welcomed their first child, a baby boy, X Æ A-Xii, in May 2020. In the following years, they welcomed a baby girl, Exa Dark Siderael, via surrogacy in December 2021. The couple also has a third child named Techno Mechanicus, but nothing is known about his date of birth.
However, in September 2021, Grimes broke the headlines when she shared that she and Elon Musk are 'semi-separated'. Despite constant reports of a possible rift in their relationship, it was in March 2022 that Grimes confirmed that she had parted ways with Elon Musk. Currently, Grimes is reportedly dating DJ Anyma, while Elon Musk is also allegedly dating Shivon Zilis.
