"She and Musk used a surrogate this time, which in combination with the pandemic enabled them to keep their daughter a secret, right up until Y shared the news just now" (by crying like the baby she is).

"That’s what they call her, by the way: Y. She’s got a full name, but this doesn’t seem like the moment to ask for it..."

I'm reading "'Infamy Is Kind Of Fun”' Grimes on Music, Mars, and Her Secret New Baby With Elon Musk/The visionary pop star holds nothing back, talking with Vanity Fair about everything under the sun, including her thrilling upcoming album, Book 1" (Vanity Fair).

[O]ne thing that really pisses [Grimes] off is how many people think that she surrendered her agency to [Elon Musk]. They took her silence for complicity, rather than how she viewed her silence, which was not submitting to their sexist horseshit....

He’s done more than any other private citizen to wean the planet off fossil fuels. He helped protect internet service in Ukraine by making his Starlink satellite terminals available. And Grimes is baffled that so many people view his Mars ambition as some billionaire’s boondoggle, rather than the essence of being human and maybe, just maybe, the key to our survival...

Grimes and Musk agree that living separately is wise. They’re just too different on the basic stuff. He likes things “reasonably neat.” She likes to be able to see everything she owns, all at once. He likes quality design, clean aesthetics. She likes Death Note rugs from Etsy....

When you imagine your future life on Mars, is Elon there? Is he with you? Are you doing it together? “Hopefully,” she says, then goes quiet for a few moments. She hasn’t considered this before. “Wow. Wow. Because, yeah, you’re right, he’ll probably go and then I’ll come later. Wow.”

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

... but at least E and c would be together.... And if X and Y want to join their parents, they would have a free ticket waiting for them....

Sometimes even when your parents pay for your ticket, you don't want to make the trip to visit them where they are. It's not about paying for the ticket, Mom. I mean it's a really long trip, and in fact, it's cold as hell.
