On Monday, the world’s richest man Elon Musk shared a special moment with one of his sons. The 51-year-old Tesla CEO shared a throwback photo of himself and his 2-year-old son X A-12 from Thanksgiving last year on Twitter. The world’s wealthiest man posted a cute photo of himself and his son on social media and, perhaps surprisingly, revealed that he cuts their hair himself. Despite being worth an estimated $271 billion, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed this week that he cuts his own hair and that of his son, X.
In the picture, the pair were dressed casually in the photo; Musk was wearing a t-shirt with the words “space cowboy,” and they appeared to be on an outside patio or terrace. “Thanksgiving last year after watching one too many episodes of Vikings,” Musk stated in the caption. The father and son had very similar haircuts in the photo, which was very noticeable. One Twitter user asked Musk whether he cut his own hair and his son’s hair too. The CEO replied “Yeah.”
In May 2020, Elon Musk gave birth to X A-12 with his now-ex-girlfriend musician Grimes. Exa, the couple’s daughter, was born via surrogate last December, shortly after their relationship ended. Musk secretly fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, one of the top executives at Tesla and Neuralink, a few weeks before the birth of Exa. Last November, Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis welcomed twins. In addition, he and his first wife, Justine Wilson, have 18-year-old twins Vivian Jenna Wilson and Griffin Musk, as well as triplets Kai, Damian, and Sax Musk, born in 2006. Nevada Musk, the couple’s second child, died at the age of ten weeks.

The billionaire has made no secret of his preference for large families and has frequently expressed concern about the United States’ low birth rate. Musk tweeted after learning about the secret twins, “Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis.”
While the billionaire enjoys being a father, he seems to be having some daddy issues of his own recently. Errol Musk, the billionaire’s father, recently revealed in an interview that he is not proud of his son, does not own a Tesla, and believes his son should lose weight. Elon Musk’s younger brother, Kimbal Musk, was described as his “pride and joy” by the elder Musk.
