Despite his busy schedule, Elon Musk demonstrated his dedication as a father by spending quality time with his charming son, X Æ A-12, who made a rare public appearance. The Tesla executive was recently joined on stage by his nearly 3-year-old son during a press conference, capturing everyone’s attention and earning well-deserved compliments for his cuteness.
A charming pair
During the MMA Global Possible event, the 51-year-old entrepreneur surprised the audience by bringing his son, X Æ A-12, on stage with him, as the toddler is rarely seen in public. X Æ A-12 seemed to be a natural performer, happily holding onto his dad’s shirt with one hand while munching on a cookie with the other.
Later that evening, Musk was spotted bonding with his son, who he shares with his ex-girlfriend and singer, Grimes. The couple also welcomed a baby daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate in December 2021.
While X Æ A-12’s unique name has faced criticism, his mother Grimes revealed that he goes by the nickname “X.”
Musk comes from a large family
Twitter’s CEO has a large family, consisting of 9 children with 3 different women. In 2000, he tied the knot with his first wife, Justine Wilson, and tragically lost their first son at just 10 weeks old. The couple went on to have twin boys in 2004, followed by triplets in 2006, before eventually divorcing in 2008.
In 2010, the CEO wed actress Talulah Riley but they separated just two years later. After briefly reconciling and remarrying, they divorced for a final time in 2016.
The CEO began dating singer Grimes in April 2018, who is 16 years his junior, and the couple had an on-and-off relationship resulting in the birth of their two children.
Shortly before welcoming their daughter Exa, he also became a father to twins with an executive at his firm.
