The one named singer must have got a very big check from her celebrity CEO ex because she is saying nothing but nice things about him right now.

Elon Musk
Elon Musk sparked outrage this week by blaming Los Angeles wildfires on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring practices, supporting far-right pundit Matt Walsh’s claim that efforts to diversify firefighter ranks excluded white men and worsened the crisis. Critics labeled the comments racist and pointed to more credible factors, such as budget cuts and climate change, as primary contributors to the wildfires.
Musk’s ex-partner, musician Claire “Grimes” Boucher, came to his defense on social media, dismissing accusations of Musk’s climate denialism and highlighting his work in electric vehicles. Despite her support, Musk has publicly downplayed climate change’s role in the fires, contradicting scientific evidence. Boucher also shared unverified claims of criminal activity linked to the fires, further fueling misinformation.
Their rocky relationship, marked by a bitter custody battle over their children and reports of Boucher planning to move into Musk’s compound, adds complexity to her defense of him. Her alignment with Musk amid the disaster has drawn criticism, leaving many questioning her stance on DEI and her broader connection to his controversial actions.
