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.

Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.

Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, following the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the campaign could last up to a month, framing the operation as a move to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.

Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, while its Revolutionary Guards claim responsibility for assaults on oil tankers in the Gulf. The escalating hostilities are already disrupting global shipping lanes and air travel, sending shockwaves through international markets.

With reports of the first U.S. casualties emerging and Washington declaring the Tehran operation a success, tensions across the Middle East are intensifying rapidly. The question now is how far this conflict could spread — and at what cost.

U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.

The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.

Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.

Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.

Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.

Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.

With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.
