Elon Musk's ex Grimes apologizes for canceling pride gig over ‘family issues', as ex-First Buddy ends Trump bromance
Elon Musk's ex Grimes has fueled concern among fans after canceling her upcoming pride show as she deals with undisclosed 'family issues.' The 37-year-old, who shares four-year-old son X Æ A-12, three-year-old Exa, and two-year-old Techno with the world's richest man, made the 'regretful' announcement this week. She wrote on Musk's platform X: 'I am so, so sorry and regretful to say I have to cancel my pride show in order to deal with family issues. 'I want to say that I am aware the situation has been a great inconvenience to the fans for some time, and I am truly determined to make sure this is no longer the case very soon. 'I think the show is still going to be amazing and the lineup is great. I hope this is early enough and gives people enough time if they wish to change their plans.' Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, vowed to 'make this up' to her fans 'very soon', signing off with a message sending 'so much love always.' She was due to perform at the World Pride Festival next month - a two-day extravaganza in Washington D.C. to coincide with Pride Month. Other performers include Troye Sivan, RuPaul, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Ora and Kim Petras. Grimes' latest admission about dealing with family issues comes on the back of a highly publicized and drawn out battle with Musk over decisions about how they parent their eldest son, X. As Musk grew closer to President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, little X was often pictured at political events in and around the White House. She publicly revealed she had 'begged' the DOGE chief and 'tried legal recourse' to keep their children away from the White House and out of the spotlight. 'I have tried begging the public and my kids dad to keep them offline, and I've tried legal recourse,' Grimes admitted. Grimes in February sent a panicked X message to Musk about one of their children's 'medical crisis,' highlighting for the world that she was having trouble reaching him privately. 'Plz respond about our child's medical crisis,' she wrote to her ex. 'I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.' She added that Musk didn't even have to respond to her but could contact her through a third party. 'If you don't want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can so that we can move forward on solving this. This is urgent, Elon.' Grimes went on to clarify that trying to reach Musk on social media was a last resort because he had not responded to her. 'I'm not giving any details but he won't respond to texts call or emails and has skipped every meeting and our child will suffer life long impairment if he doesn't respond asap,' she wrote. 'So I need him to f***ing respond and if I have to apply public pressure then I guess that's where we are at.' After Techno was born, Grimes sued Musk in September 2023 over parental rights to their children in a California court. Musk allegedly fought to keep the hearing closed, asking for the documents to be sealed. She claimed that Musk was withholding access to her kids and even prevented them from seeing their terminally ill maternal grandmother. Musk then sued for for custody of the children he shares with Grimes in Texas, where his businesses are headquartered. A Travis County Clerk has since confirmed that the Texas dispute had been settled, but declined to give further details. Grimes addressed the challenges of motherhood as recently as May 10, writing: 'motherhood 100% THE MOST NOBLE task. 'Large portions of society think having children is a selfish decision. They do not understand having kids is the most selfless decision, an investment in all of us. And that's crazy to me.' Two months ago, she revealed she had been diagnosed with autism and ADHD, and believes she is likely also dyslexic. 'Got diagnosed w ADHD/ autism this year and realized I'm prob dyslexic which is why I can't spell without spellcheck.' She said that if she had known that she has ADHD and autism as a child, 'I would have worked so much less hard' and would have been put on medication for the conditions. The singer also argued that her 'weird obsessions and motivations' would likely have been viewed as 'pathological' at the time. Musk has not publicly commented on their relationship in months, and since he has stepped back from his White House role with DOGE, the public has seen less of little X online. The world's richest man has also welcomed several more children with at least two different mothers. Musk's latest baby mama is Ashley St Clair, a 26-year-old MAGA influencer who claims she was offered $15 million upfront and $100,000 per month to keep silent about their son. He also has six children with his ex wife, Justine and four with a former employee Shivon Zilis, taking the total number of children to at least 14. Meanwhile, Musk's bromance with President Donald Trump has taken a hit after the tech billionaire blasted the White House for 'undermining' him and treating DOGE like 'whipping boys.' The billionaire Tesla CEO spoke to the press before launching a SpaceX Starship into the stratosphere on Tuesday night and unleashed on Trump's $3.8 trillion spending bill. 'It undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,' Musk bluntly told CBS. 'I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it.' Musk - who spoke to multiple outlets about the White House betrayal - went on to decry the treatment he and his baby-faced DOGE henchmen had received. 'DOGE is just becoming the whipping boy for everything,' he told the Washington Post. 'Something bad would happen anywhere, and we would get blamed for it even if we had nothing to do with it.' After helping Trump win the 2024 election with outrageous financial contributions and stage-jumping endorsements, Musk earned the title of 'First Buddy' in the White House. For the first several months of Trump's second term, Musk was everywhere - briefing Trump personally, gutting federal departments and even bringing his son, X, along to crucial meetings in the Oval Office.

Tech bros are facing the end of the ‘technipolar moment'
For intellectuals of a certain bent, no game is more absorbing than discovering the 'real' power behind the throne. Who is pulling the strings? What class interests does the regime serve? Who is 'really' in charge? Such questions inspire learned disquisitions as well as conspiracy theories. So far, the favourite target when it comes to the Trump administration is the tech industry. Ian Bremmer, the head of the Eurasia Group, a political consultancy, talks about the 'technipolar moment' and the 'frightening fusion of tech power and state power'. Steve Bannon, Trump's former adviser, laments the influence of 'technofuedal globalists bent on turning Americans into digital serfs'. The opening session of an Aspen Institute Italia conference on the future of capitalism in Milan on May 16 (at which I spoke) addressed the subject of 'Techno Capitalism: America's New Gilded Age.'

Harry Styles spotted in crowd during Pope Leo XIV's first address in Rome
The 31-year-old singer was pictured wearing black sunglasses and a grey baseball cap that read 'Techno is my boyfriend' in a packed St Peter's Square. Nisa Kanat, who photographed the triple Grammy award winner, said she 'locked eyes' with the star while watching the Pope's announcement. In a social media post, Ms Kanat wrote: 'While watching the Pope's announcement in St Peter's Square, Harry Styles passed by me, we locked eyes, and I immediately snapped a photo of this moment, what a day OMG.' Fans took to social media to share their delight at the former One Direction star's attendance at the historic event. One person wrote on X: 'Harry Styles is so random. One day he's at the Grammys, then he's running a marathon in Japan… now he's in Rome waiting for the new pope. I love being his fan.' Another joked: 'Can't believe the new pope got a glimpse of Harry Styles on his first day of the new job.' The newly elected American Pope appeared in front of jubilant crowds as the new leader of the Catholic Church on Thursday evening. Pope Leo XIV emerged on to the balcony of St Peter's Basilica as a packed St Peter's Square erupted in cheers and applause. He was Cardinal Robert Prevost, from Chicago, and is fairly young for a Pope, at the age of 69. The new pontiff is the 267th Pope, becoming the religious leader of some 1.4 billion Catholics across the globe and someone believed to be called as the successor to St Peter, who was the first. In his first words as Pope, the new pontiff told the adoring crowd: 'Peace be with you.' He will have the challenge of following in the footsteps of the late Francis, whose popularity saw him dubbed 'the people's pope'. He had been vocal on politics, speaking out against war and climate change, and urged more focus on the poor and downtrodden of the world. His death on Easter Monday prompted warm tributes from leaders across the globe and his funeral last month drew hundreds of thousands of mourners, including US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
