Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk made headlines once again as he attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, accompanied by his 3-year-old son, X Æ A-12, affectionately known as “Lil X.” However, the outing comes amidst an ongoing custody dispute with his former partner, musician Grimes.
A Father-Son Bonding Moment
Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, was spotted enjoying the high-speed racing spectacle with his young son, who has often been seen accompanying his father at public events. The billionaire has frequently expressed his love for Formula 1 and the role that technological advancements in motorsports play in the future of electric and autonomous vehicles.
Custody Battle with Grimes
While Musk appeared relaxed at the event, his personal life remains under scrutiny as he and Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, are locked in a legal battle over custody arrangements for their children. Grimes recently filed a petition seeking parental rights, requesting clear legal definitions regarding their children’s care. The situation has led to speculation over how the dispute will impact Musk’s parental responsibilities given his demanding business ventures.
Public Reaction
Fans and critics alike took to social media to share their thoughts on Musk’s Formula 1 appearance with Lil X. Many praised the father-son bonding moment, while others pointed out the ongoing legal drama with Grimes.
Despite the controversy, Musk remains active in both his professional and personal life, juggling his multi-billion-dollar empire while being a father to multiple children. Whether the custody battle escalates further remains to be seen, but for now, Musk and his son seemed to be enjoying a thrilling day at the races.
