Elon Musk is man who doesn’t stay still in one place too long according to his ex-girlfriend Grimes.
Grimes had a difficult time trying to get ahold of him to serve him with custody papers and tried to track him down in at least 12 different locations.
Grimes, 35, hired four different process servers who went to Musk’s X’s headquarters in San Francisco, SpaceX’s launch site in Boca Chica, Texas, Tesla’s factory in Austin and other addresses within the southern city.
One of the process servers reportedly even went to the tech mogul’s horse ranch in Texas, but was told by a woman, “Nope, not here.”
According to California law, papers must be “served” to any other person involved in a particular lawsuit. If the papers are not served in the correct way at the correct time, the court cannot go forward with the case.
After Grimes failed to serve the papers multiple times, Grimes’ process servers were reportedly forced to leave the legal documents with Musk’s security at X, Tesla and SpaceX.
Grimes, whose real name in Claire Boucher, sued Musk in California for the parental rights of their three children, X Æ A-Xii, 3, Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus, both 1.
She did not request child support in the initial Sept. 29 filing.
Hoever, he was revealed that Musk had sued Grimes first in Texas and he accused her of “attempting to circumvent the jurisdiction” in his home state by declaring herself a non-resident.
Musk also claimed that he had “actual care, control, and possession of each child since the birth of each child. Further saying that the children’s care took place in Texas, where he resides full time, for at least “six consecutive months.”
Grimes later slammed Musk’s lawsuit, calling it “inappropriate” and requested it be tossed out.
Grimes claimed at the time that her children’s father spends at least two to three days on the West Coast.
A final decision as to which state has jurisdiction over their custody matters has not been decided.
Grimes and Musk dated from 2018 until their split in March 2022.
