After Elon Musk’s controversial one-armed gesture, Grimes denounces Nazism and asserts that I am not him
«It’s absurd that someone can be this cancelled for something their ex did before they even heard it happened,» the former «Oblivion» performer wrote.
After a video of former Elon Musk making a one-armed gesture during President Donald Trump’s inauguration celebrations went viral online, Grimes is reacting.
One Grimes fan account on X posted the following on Tuesday, January 21, in response to the viral video: «I’m more than happy to sacrifice my Grimes following and have a tattoo coverup for this, by the way. I’ve reached my breaking point.
Following a speech at Trump’s inauguration, Musk, 53, made a one-armed gesture, which prompted the remark. It resembled the Nazi salute, which Adolf Hitler made famous and which is prohibited in a number of nations.
In a lengthy social media response, the 36-year-old singer of «Oblivion» condemned Nazism and stated that she did not want to contribute to the discussion. Musk and Grimes have been dating intermittently since they were first connected in 2018. The tech billionaire and singer have three kids together.
When several fans urged Grimes to further on the issue after her initial statement, she said, «I’m happy to denounce Nazi-ism — and the far alt right.» Would that make things more understandable?
«I just finished breakfast and have to catch a flight, and I’m still deciding how to handle this diplomatically because I feel like I’m in over my head,» the «Genesis» performer continued. However, if that raises any concerns, I’m willing to clarify.
