Video of Elon Musk allegedly ‘abandoning’ his 4-year-old son has gone viral, but things aren’t what they seem

Video of SpaceX owner Elon Musk walking off stage and away from his 4-year-old son X Æ A-Xii, leaving the kid on his own, was shared on the social media.

As per the Mail Online, the video was allegedly taken in January after a MAGA rally.

4-year-old X is seen slowly walking behind his father while holding the handrail, descending down the stairs with no adult in sight.

The video shows the boy struggling to get down the metal stairs while his father walks out through a set of doors.

Once the clip was posted on X, owned by Musk, people were quick to judge his role as a father.

“That kid could have taken a tumble and hurt himself,” someone commented. “Doesn’t surprise me that he forgot his child,” another added.

Many agreed the video was “concerning,” with a person writing, “As a father, I simply cannot understand this. I could be grocery shopping alone and will STILL habitually check below me and behind me. I can’t imagine that habit will go away anytime soon.. my sons 3. How old is Elons? [sic] 5?”

However, after the viral clip caused stir on the social media, a new one resurfaced, showing that things weren’t what they seemed and that the tech mogul didn’t really “abandon” his son.

Before waving to the crowd, Musk glances behind to check on his son. Once he reaches the bottom of the steps, he waits for X to get down and even urges him along.

The clip then shows the father and son rejoicing.

Many people argue that even if Musk really walked away from his son, which is apparently not what had happened, the security guards would make sure he was safe and sound.

Musk supporters were angry at the initial clip that portrayed the billionaire as a bad father.

“Good job posting this! The truth always comes out in the end. No one loves kids more than Elon Musk, and no one should ever rush to judge a father based on a single misleading clip,” someone commented.  

“Even if he did walk ahead for a moment, who hasn’t? Parents have a million thoughts running through their heads at any moment – especially someone with the responsibilities Elon carries. 

“Before pointing fingers, people should stop and ask themselves: Have I ever made a mistake? Have I ever been distracted for a second? No one is perfect, but what truly matters is love, presence, and care and Elon has shown time and time again that he deeply loves and cares for his children.”

Little X often accompanies his father.
