Global superstar Grimes recently addressed nazism and white supremacy on X. Her post was fuelled by Elon Musk’s recent antics during his speech after Trump’s inauguration, where he made a gesture with his arm that looked suspiciously similar to a nazi salute.
Elon had a very nonchalant response to the criticism he received afterwards, and basically just deflected the issue entirely. Grimes and Elon Musk are former partners, and have three children together.
On X, Grimes mentioned there are internet trolls within her fanbase who have been promoting the white supremacist and nazi agenda on platforms like Reddit. Grimes apologized that she didn’t address the issue any sooner, and revealed she had no idea it was this bad; “I am sorry I didn’t take this more seriously sooner, I did not realize the extent of the issue. But it has come to my attention from some of yall that this has been creating a lot of trouble.”
She goes on to say that the same people who are pushing this agenda are harassing friends and family of hers; “the same accounts pushing this btw have been stalking and harassing friends and family of mine, they are bad actors. Specifically they have been even calling workplaces of non white friends and trying to get them fired for being supposed nazis.”
In the past, Grimes has been called out for promoting white supremacy as she reportedly liked nazi memes on X.
