Musk's ex-partner Grimes alleges she tried "more than reasonable" methods of getting the documents to him...
Claire Boucher, professionally known as Grimes, has launched a legal pursuit for the physical custody of her three children, involving an elaborate effort to serve Elon Musk, their father, with custody papers. The court filings, as per Insider’s findings, detail the extensive measures taken to reach the tech mogul.
Grimes’ legal team employed four process servers between October 13 and 20 to deliver the documents to Musk at various locations associated with him, including Tesla’s Austin gigafactory and SpaceX’s Boca Chica launch site. Their endeavors even extended to tracking Musk’s private jets and visiting a horse farm linked to him, but they met with repeated rebuffs.
Despite multiple attempts, direct service proved elusive, with servers often being turned away by security personnel. Ultimately, substitute service was employed, leaving the papers with employees at several of Musk’s businesses and mailing them on October 20.
