Elon Musk was admirably seen with his 2-year-old son on a rare outing with the youngster at an event in Miami on Tuesday night.
The entrepreneur shares the boy with his on-off girlfriend Grimes, and he came under fire earlier in 2020 when he bizarrely referred to the kid as “X AE A-XII.”
Appearing on stage at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, the 2-year-old stole the show when his billionaire dad took part in a conference panel discussion.
Musk brought his son onstage to cheers from the crowd, as the boy seemed comfortable in the spotlight while enjoying a cookie.

Musk, 51, welcomed his son with musician Grimes in May 2020.
The billionaire has nine known children by three women, including another child via surrogate with Grimes named Exa Dark Sideræl, which the couple had in December 2021.
Musk was criticized for naming his son “X AE A-XII,” who is nicknamed “X” according to his ex-girlfriend.
Musk also fathered twin babies just a month before his surrogate with Grimes, with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his technology company Neuralink.

Musk’s love life has been the subject of intrigue for years, with the Space X founder going through a series of breakups 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 had triplets in 2006, Kai, Saxon and Damian, with all five children conceived through IVF.
The couple divorced in 2008 and Musk began dating British actress Talulah Riley, who has starred in films such as Inception and Pride and Prejudice.
After they tied 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 filing for divorce again in December 2014. The divorce filings were dropped the following year, before Riley filed for divorce from Musk for a third and final time in 2016.
Musk dated 35-year-old actress Amber Heard for several months in late 2016 and early 2017, after reportedly pursuing her for 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 broke up in the summer of 2017, and then 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 made headlines when they made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala the following month.
Amid a series of breakups and reconnections, the couple welcomed their son ‘X AE A-XII’ in May 2020. With the arrival of their second child next year, Grimes shares two of Musk’s nine children.
