Grimes takes a stand against beauty standards for her daughter
Grimes, Elon Musk's former partner, expressed her concerns on Platform X about the impact of beauty culture on the future of their daughter. The artist criticises the unrealistic beauty standards promoted by large technology and media companies. Can you guess who she might have had in mind?
Grimes, after separating from Elon Musk in 2021, had a dispute with him over child custody. The conflict intensified after Musk started taking their son to public events, which was criticised by the artist. The singer then took legal action to protect the children from unwanted media attention.
A few days ago, the artist shared her thoughts on the pressure of beauty culture affecting women. On Platform X, she expressed concerns about the future of her daughter, Exy Dark Sideræl, in the context of unrealistic beauty standards promoted by technology and media companies. It's not hard to see the connection with Musk, the owner of the former Twitter.

The mother of four-year-old X Æ A-Xii and three-year-old Exy Dark Sideræl emphasised how destructively unrealistic beauty standards affect women's psyche. The artist expressed doubts about whether her daughter will be able to navigate the upcoming times, noting that she is furious knowing that she won't be able to fully protect her daughter from these influences.
- Do any other women feel like ur being choked to death on beauty culture? [...] The insidiousness of what our culture does to young women is insane. I feel enraged knowing I won't be able to protect my daughter from this. What a monumental waste of mental space. All the large tech and media companies are complicit in this. - Grimes wrote on Platform X.
