Garossino seems more than a little bit peeved at Musk's behavior.

Musk also took a few moments while his wife was recovering from childbirth to correct her on Twitter.

Twitter was solidly on Sandy Garossino's side when it came to the bizarre exchange.

Of course, many were simply surprised by the news that Garossino, who is well-known by many Canadians, is Grimes' mother.

I was today years old when I realized Grimes is the daughter of Sandy Garossino. My actual face: https://t.co/T8Vy1dXoKQ— Andrea Micieli (@Andrea Micieli) 1589760644.0
Elon Musk had better get his act together if he wants to keep his family situation happy.
