Singer Grimes slams Elon Musk’s X, calls the platform ‘a poison’ and ‘a prison’

Musician Grimes is not holding back her thoughts about X, formerly known as Twitter and the role her ex, Elon Musk, has played in shaping it. The Canadian singer-songwriter, who shares three children with the billionaire tech mogul, returned to social media recently and expressed deep frustration with the current state of the platform, saying it feels like a poison. In her post, Grimes wrote: Ok Ive basically been entirely off social media and returning here it is overwhelmingly, abundantly and profoundly clear that this place and all of these places are a poison a prison of utterly short form deep deep-sounding nonsense attached to no one that ur brain will discard imaging its learning. According to Daily Mail, she didnt mention Musk directly in the post, but her tone made it clear shes disappointed in what social media especially X has become since his 2022 takeover. She described the platform as a theatre and a s**y pale simulacra of a life. Grimes, 37, and Musk are parents to X A-12, Exa Dark Siderl, and Techno Mechanicus. The pair officially separated nearly four years ago, although theyve continued co-parenting their children. Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022 and has since made sweeping changes, including rebranding it to “X.” His tenure as owner has sparked mixed reactions with users praising his emphasis on free speech while critics highlight the rise in unfiltered content and misinformation.  The post Singer Grimes slams Elon Musks X, calls the platform a poison and a prison appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
