Grimes' attempted defense of Elon Musk's ideology is bizarre
The "Oblivion" singer tried to defend ex-partner Elon Musk's anti-trans sentiments by suggesting that he "[doesn't] hate trans people," he hates "woke culture"
Grimes, who in her own words is “very easy to cancel and canceled very often,” is using the skills she learned from these instances to defend other “canceled” stars as of late. Earlier this week, we reported that the controversial Canadian artist had come out in support of both Lizzo (“I’ve only ever seen exemplary behavior from her, especially when everyone was hating on me and she was on top of the world”) and the not-canceled-but-under-fire Doja Cat (“Doja has always been a friend and deeply kind person to me”) as the two singers made headlines for creating a toxic work environment and beefing with their fans, respectively.
But both of these subjects pale in comparison to the big one: Elon Musk, emperor of X/Twitter, possible cage fighter, and father of Grimes’ two children. Among the many, many things that have put Grimes’ ex-partner in the headlines recently, one of the most inflammatory has been his consistent anti-trans rhetoric and the fact that his daughter—who identifies as trans—said she no longer wants to “be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” per the BBC.
