Elon Musk and Grimes are in a bitter custody battle over their three children - fueled by Nanny X, who the mogul calls "protective".
Billionaire Tesla and Grimes - whose real name is Claire Bouchet - are accused in Texas and California of their 3-year-old son X, daughter Exa and son Techno, both 1.
In what appears to be a victory for Grimes, it was announced Friday that she will not be allowed to leave California, where the children live.
In recent weeks, Musk has put Xi in front of world leaders, telling Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan that "we're separated and I'm more worried about him" and where Xi's mother is.
Musk, the world's richest man with a fortune of $252.6 billion, claims to be the father of 11 children, 10 of whom survived.
It is not known if there are more.
But despite his strict father Errol calling Musk a "terrible man", Paige seems to be following in his father's footsteps, with Errol recently admitting to taking Elon to a sex party when he was 9 years old. six.
Errol, 77, a former engineering consultant, has custody of his two sons Elon and Kimble and daughter Tosca after divorcing his mother, May Musk, and often takes the children on days out.
But father-of-six Errol said: “Women are the most important part of the home, women are the center of the home. His mother is the Sun, and the rest of his family members are the planets. It doesn't matter if the father is a few weeks old, but the woman is important.
“A father and two sons live together, not a family but three people. A mother and two sons are a family.
Grimes has a 3-year-old son.
The birth of Tau, whose full name is Techno Mechanicus, was announced last September.
But as Grimes told Vanity Fair in a March 2022 cover story, Musk sees Xi as the golden heir.
"I think E saw him as a protector and pulled him into everything and stuff like that..." he said.
After Musk quietly filed for custody of his three children in Texas on September 7, Xi flew to New York and met Erdogan at the United Nations on September 18.
A few days later, on September 26, he carried a small child on his shoulder during a visit to the Austin Tesla factory for Hungarian President Katalin Nowak.

Three days later, on September 29, Grimes filed for custody in California, seeking physical custody and joint custody of her three children with Musk.
The situation escalated after a deleted online post last month in which Grimes "wanted me to see my son or get my lawyer back."
Neuralink CEO Siobhan Zillis reacts to a photo of Elon's father, twins Strider and Azura, as reported by Walter Isaacson, author of Elon Musk's new biography.
The twins were born last November, weeks before Elon and Grimes' son Techno was born.
Speaking from his home in South Africa this week, 77-year-old Errol, who has a difficult relationship with his eldest son, admitted he did not know the adoption process but spoke about the experience.
"X would not have grown up well without his mother's support." Grimes' daughter, Ello, shared that she was "so loved" by her sister.
"Elon works hard with all his children," says Errol.
"When Elon was little, his mother (May Musk) did all the hard work and I should have appreciated her more."
We reached out to representatives and attorneys for Elon & Grimes.
To put it mildly, Elon leads a great love life.
With his first wife Justine Wilson, twins Griffin and Xavier were born in 2004.
The children lost their son Nevada in 2002, who died of sudden infant death syndrome.
Then in 2006 Kai, Saxon and Damian had triplets and divorced in 2008.

In the year After divorcing Justin Elon in 2010, he married English actress Tallulah Riley.
They divorced in 2012, then remarried in 2013 and divorced a second time in 2016.
Grimes and Elon reunited in 2018.
According to reporter Devin Gordon, he believes Elon Grimes is actually a "fake" created in his mind.
According to a writer who interviewed Grimes for Vanity Fair for the recent BBC documentary The Elon Musk Show, Elon believes music is his "perfect friend" but not his "real friend."
"He (Grimes) has told me several times that he has theories about him that aren't true," Gordon said.
She is the epitome of creation and resides in the cerebral cortex as his best friend. It sounds a little crazy and maybe a little scary, but that's okay.
He said he felt this simulation was perfect for him.
He added that she "shares the same interests as him and his music is focused on technology" and that "they both joke about future scary AI theories."
"There are no forced lessons in any school about being a good father, mother or partner," said Grimes, who briefly met transgender whistleblower Chelsea Manning in a Sex Revolution interview with the Free Press last week. . As far as I know
"It's no wonder so many people lose track of what they need to build or maintain the relationships they need to have a lasting marriage or children. Likewise, the communal and tribal lifestyle with a like-minded community has completely changed my experience as a mother.
Musk's take to custody may come as a surprise, having previously said that children are "melting machines."
In the year He told the New York Times in 2021: Grimes is playing bigger roles now than I am.
When the child grows up, there will be more roles for me.
"I think I'll do what I do with my other kids. For example, if I'm on a Tesla trip to China, I'll take the kids and see the Great Wall, or I'll take the high-speed train from Beijing to Xi'an and see the Terracotta Warriors."
However, Errol has strong views on fatherhood. “Your children's education is very important.
"I don't think that the methods used for the young generation in America are very effective, today there are many young people who cannot find a job.
We live in a country where you have to be sharp and take care of yourself. I teach my children to take care of themselves. They traveled all over the world with me and saw most of the big cities in their teenage years.
The sons came to the U.S. when they were 23 and 24, they said, and founded Zip2, a company that provides business directories to newspapers that create online maps and websites.
“Elon is trying his best, but he's had the same problems I had when I was young. "I'm all over the country all the time, and being out of the country for a while is really hard to be a good dad."
