Singer Grimes raised eyebrows after claiming she simply couldnt afford to buy a house without ex Elon Musks financial help.

The Genesis hitmaker, who shares two children with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, took to Twitter on Monday to ask her followers to join her in petitioning against rising house prices in Texas.

My fellow Texans! Petitions can feel useless but I guarantee local politicians are taking these seriously, she tweeted.

Plz sign to reduce housing costs in Austin. Theres effective legislation on the table here but we need public support.

But despite her good intentions, some followers criticized the singer for petitioning for something that they claimed didnt affect her.

Grimes you are set, your opinion on the housing market is invalid, wrote one Twitter user.

It wasnt long before the mom-of-two responded, writing, First of all I couldnt afford to buy a house that fits my kids in Austin atm without help from their dad which is INSANE cuz Im a p[retty] successful artist.

Secondly, these arent my opinions, Ive just agreed to help out some actual experts/ policy makers, she added.

The critic doubled-down, adding, Thats what Im meaning, their dad will help and get it done. Youre set.

It seems as though Grimes isnt the only one Musk supports financially.

The billionaire recently revealed that he and his brother, Kimbal, have provided financial backingfor their father Errolsince he ran out of money decades ago.
