\n\tIn a tweet posted Thursday (Jan. 9), the musician wrote that she thinks \u201cthe vibe is rather Biblical out here,\u201d positing that \u201cwe might be outta time w regards to twiddling our thumbs whilst every level of our culture, environment, government, institutions, mental health, etc have obviously crumbled.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLuckily unlike all previous dark ages, we have an immunity against lost information,\u201d she continued. \u201cPrinting press, hard drives etc. but what are we going to do about it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGrimes\u2019 post comes about two days after wind-fueled flames first broke out in the Pacific Palisades area Tuesday (Jan. 7), quickly spreading across L.A. County and claiming an estimated 10,000 homes and structures. More fires have since torn through the Hollywood Hills, Pasadena, Altadena, Sylmar and Calabasas, with at least 10 people reported dead in the destruction, according to CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs of Thursday, about 180,000 residents had been placed under evacuation orders or warnings \u2014 including the \u201cOblivion\u201d singer, who tweeted the day prior, \u201cJust had to evacuate, tried to go to a friends place \/ it got an evacuation warning on the way there \u2013 now aimlessly driving out of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cis the whole city gna be gone?\u201d she\u2019d added. \u201cThis is a serious tragedy for LA \u2013 I feel profoundly sad for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the replies to her tweets, Grimes sympathized with<\/a> the \u201cbillions of climate [refugees] from less wealthy areas of the world\u201d who might also be affected by similar environmental disasters outside of L.A. and said<\/a> that the wildfires feel \u201clike a weird invisible hand poking the dominoes.\u201d And when one commenter tried to pivot the climate conversation to her past relationship with Tesla boss Elon Musk \u2014 with whom she shares three young children \u2014 the Elf Tech founder shut it down.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe\u2019s pretty vocal about climate change and is primarily known for, in part, revolutionizing electric vehicles,\u201d she replied to a person who\u2019d called the billionaire \u201cone of the most evil climate deniers of all time.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think there\u2019s plenty to be angry about but when you stray from fact and reason, your critique loses power,\u201d Grimes continued of her ex partner, who has reportedly taken up near-permanent residence in Florida near soon-to-be-inaugurated President Donald Trump, a vocal climate change critic.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe biggest challenge right now is not falling into creating and consuming dopamine rage bait on social media and focussing on thoughtful, rational, truth based discourse so that we can properly diagnose and solve our problems,\u201d Grimes wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cMiss Anthropocene\u201d musician and the Tesla CEO had an on-again, off-again relationship between 2018 and 2022. In 2020, they welcomed their first child \u2014 a son named X \u00c6 A-Xii \u2014 and later became parents to daughter Exa Dark Sider\u00e6l (now 3) and son Techno Mechanicus (2). Musk is also Dad to seven children he shares with his first wife, Justine Wilson, and twins Strider and Azure, whom he shares with Neuralink director Shivon Zilis.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn December, Grimes touched on their breakup during an exchange <\/a>with Azealia Banks on X. \u201ci didn\u2019t \u2018get dumped,\u2019\u201d the former wrote of Musk at the time. \u201cI bounced. My amazing baby is asleep in my bed beside me, I\u2019m in love. no regrets. Life is as beautiful as u want it to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vibe is rather Biblical out here. I think we might be outta time w regards to twiddling our thumbs whilst every level of our culture, environment, government, institutions, mental health, etc have obviously crumbled. Luckily unlike all previous dark ages, we have an\u2026<\/p>\n
