Elon Musk Served With Child Custody Papers Despite Evading Several Attempts

In her filing, Grimes highlighted her objection to Musk having custody of their three-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii.

Grimes’ attempts to serve Musk during October were met with resistance, with two process servers even trying to reach him at the home of Shivon Zilis, a director at Musk’s Neuralink startup and the mother of two of his children. Unfortunately, they were met by someone who claimed not to know Musk.

In an attempt to serve the papers, process servers encountered security guards and a police officer who instructed them to vacate the Tesla factory and X offices. However, Grimes maintained that Musk was properly served, as her complaint was left with the security guards.

Musk’s legal team disputed this, arguing that Grimes should have continued trying to serve him. They also claimed that Musk was served on October 20 through substitute service, wherein the papers were delivered to Musk’s employees.
