Elon Musk was seen adorably playing with his 2-year-old son in a rare outing with the youngster at a Miami event Tuesday evening.
The entrepreneur shares the boy with his on-off-girlfriend Grimes, and he previously came under fire in 2020 when he bizarrely named the child ‘X AE A-XII’.
Appearing on stage at Miami’s Fontainebleau Hotel, the 2-year-old stole the show as his billionaire father joined a conference panel discussion.
Musk brought his son on stage to cheers from the crowd, while the boy appeared comfortable in the limelight as he enjoyed a cookie.

Musk, 51, welcomed his son with musician Grimes in May 2020.
The billionaire has nine known children with three women, including another child via surrogate with Grimes named Exa Dark Sideræl, which the couple had in December 2021.
Musk came under criticism after naming his son ‘X AE A-XII’, who goes by the nickname ‘X’, according to his musician ex-girlfriend.
Musk also fathered twin babies just month before his surrogate child with Grimes, with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his tech firm Neuralink.

Musk’s love life has been the subject of intrigue for years, with the Space X founder going through a series of divorces and high-profile relationships in recent times.
He married his first wife, Justine Wilson, in 2000. Their first son Nevada tragically passed away at 10-weeks in 2002, before the couple welcomed twins Griffin and Xavier in 2004.
Musk and Wilson went on to have triplets, Kai, Saxon and Damian, in 2006, with all five children conceived via IVF.
The couple divorced in 2008, and Musk began dating British actress Talulah Riley, who has had starring roles in films such as Inception and Pride and Prejudice.
After tying the knot in 2010, their first marriage only lasted two years, and Riley reportedly walked away with $16 million in the divorce settlement.

The couple then remarried the following summer, before again filing for divorce in December 2014. The divorce filings were withdrawn the following year, before Riley requested a divorce from Musk for the third and final time in 2016.
Musk then dated actress Amber Heard, 35, for several months in late 2016 and early 2017, after he reportedly pursued her for many years.
Heard’s ex-husband, Johnny Depp, later accused Heard of cheating on him with Musk while they were still married, but both Musk and Heard denied the affair.
They split in the summer of 2017, and afterwards, he told Rolling Stone in 2017 that he was ‘really in love’ with Heard and that their breakup ‘hurt bad.’
He would then begin dating singer Grimes in April 2018, and the eccentric couple captured headlines when they made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala the following month.
Amid a series of breakups and reconnections, the pair welcomed their son ‘X AE A-XII’ in May 2020. With the arrival of their second child the next year, Grimes shares two of Musk’s nine children.
