'i Am Not Him': Grimes Distances Herself From Elon Musk's Controversial 'nazi Salute' Claims

Grimes says she is 'happy to denounce Nazi-ism' after her ex, Elon Musk, was accused of giving a 'Nazi salute'.

The world's richest man - who is CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and chairperson of social media platform X - has been met with fierce backlash after delivering a salute which many people believed resembled the infamous gesture during his speech at a celebration following Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, January 20.

His former partner Grimes, 36, responded on X after a fan said they would unfollow the musician and have a tribute tattoo covered up over the controversy.

However, she replied: 'While I deeply respect your concern - it is unhealthy that people are this upset when I have not even been online yet today and am only just learning about this controversy now.

'I dont know what happened and I will not make a rash statement... Its absurd that someone can be this cancelled for something their ex did before they even heard it happened.
