Warning: This article contains discussion of discrimination against the trans community which some readers may find distressing.

Grimes has weighed in on ex-partner Elon Musk and his daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson's public dispute.

The Tesla CEO's livestream with Dr Jordan B Peterson released on Twitter earlier this week saw Musk not only deadname his transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson, but also claim he'd been 'tricked into signing documents' agreeing to her receiving gender-affirming care aged 16.

Wilson branded this a 'lie' and proceeded to open up about her relationship with her father, claiming he 'relentlessly harassed' her for her 'femininity and queerness'.

Alongside his comments made in discussion with Dr Peterson, Musk also took to Twitter in a since-deleted post, claiming Wilson was 'born gay and slightly autistic' which he said are 'two attributes that contribute to gender dysphoria'.

And while typically staying out of the public eye, Wilson told NBC News she couldn't let his comments 'slide', denying Musk's version of events and also accusing him of being a 'cold' 'uncaring' 'narcissist' who once 'viciously yell[ed]' at her 'because [her] voice was too high'.

She also dissected his since-deleted tweet claiming she was 'slightly autistic', slamming it as 'entirely fake'.

And Grimes - who was in a relationship with Musk for several years and shares three children with him - has since taken to Twitter in support of Wilson.

In a post to her page uploaded earlier today (26 July) Grimes said: "I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian."

A Twitter user responded: "I’m glad you love Vivian and I know Elon does too. Vivian was created in God’s image and is due respect always. However, as great as human creativity can be, it’s not great when you’re changing what God created. And you simply can’t change your dna."

However, Grimes swiftly replied: "God gave us hands to build cathedrals, rockets to the moon. It's clearly divine to make use of God's greatest gift to humanity, which is creativity."

Another user chimed in, arguing it's not 'divine to make use of God's greatest gift to humanity' when it comes to God's 'perfect design of our bodies'.

They voiced the belief 'we're not supposed to mess with that' and that if we do, it will 'ultimately' 'destroy us'.

And Grimes once again leapt to respond.

The musician stated: "I am not Christian but I respect ur Christian God and have Christian friends and sometimes join them for their holidays or heed their teachings.

"But I do not hold this world view, and I too enjoy changing my body with tattoos and stuff. But if we're made in God's image, and he gave us the capacity to change it, beautify it, make it unique, that is God's image too.

"For me God is the universe, not just infinite, but infinite possibility."
