Recently shared on X, the tech mogul is captured in a heartwarming moment with his son, playfully referring to him as ‘Lil X’.

Musk humorously captioned the post as “Practicing martial arts with my sparring partner.”

In the snapshot, Elon Musk is seen engaging in light-hearted martial arts with his young son X. Both dressed casually, the father-son duo shares an endearing exchange. This glimpse into Musk’s family life quickly gained traction on social media.

Posted mere hours ago, the image has already garnered significant attention, amassing over 23 million views, 448,000 likes, and more than 19,000 shares. Social media users expressed their affection for the picture, some describing it as “lovely” and praising X’s cuteness. One user even cheekily remarked, “Best training partner.”

Elon Musk’s first child with Canadian musician Grimes, X AE A-XII, was born in 2020. In 2022, the former couple expanded their family further with the arrival of their second child via surrogate, a daughter named Exa Dark Siderael Musk. Despite their separation in September 2021, they continue to co-parent their children, a responsibility they’ve shared since 2018.

Additionally, Elon Musk welcomed twins with Shivon Zilis in November 2021, just before his second child with Grimes. In total, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO is a father to five other children – Griffin, Vivian, Kai, Saxon, and Damian – from his previous relationship with Canadian author Justine Wilson.
