Elon Musk Walks Off Stage Totally Leaving and Forgetting His Son Behind and People Are Disgusted

By

Elon Musk is known for being a billionaire businessman who started PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX — but his life as a father has also made headlines.

“He hasn’t been a good dad,” Musk’s father, Errol, claimed in a February 2025 appearance on the “Wide Awake” podcast when asked about the tech guru. “They were too rich, too many nannies. Then he had five children with the same woman, five sons all brought up. Each one had its own nanny.”

When asked how Errol felt about his son’s past partners, he quipped, “Well, fathers are not terribly interested in any of their children’s husbands or wives more or less unless they go out of their way.”

Musk fathered six children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, before welcoming three kids with Grimes. He shares three more kids with Shivon Zilis and allegedly fathered Ashley St. Clair’s child, who was born in late 2024.

While Musk claimed via X in June 2022, “I love all my kids so much,” not all of their moms seem to agree on how he parents.

Grimes has been very vocal about her ups and downs with Musk over the years. In October 2023, she sued her ex over parenting rights of their three children. The following year, Grimes claimed she didn’t see one of her children for five months because of Musk.

“Spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights having my Instagram posts and modeling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids and fighting and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me, with a fraction of his resources (or iq/ strategy experience), all the while I didn’t see one of my babies for 5 months,” she alleged in November 2024, adding, “Most of my experiences these last years should remain behind closed doors.”

Grimes hinted at more trouble with Musk in February 2025 when she publicly urged him to respond to her about a “medical crisis” involving one of their kids.

“I am sorry to do this publicly, but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation,” Grimes wrote via X at the time. “This requires immediate attention. If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can do that [so] we can move forward on solving this. This is urgent, Elon.”

In the since-deleted tweet, she claimed that Musk refused to answer her privately. “I’m not giving any details, but he won’t respond to texts call or emails and has skipped every meeting and our child will suffer lifelong impairment if he doesn’t respond asap, so I need him to f—ing respond and if I have to apply public pressure then I guess that’s where we are at,” she alleged.

And Grimes might have reason to be be worried. At Trump’s Victory Rally in DC on January 19th, a video shows Elon Musk leaving the stage, with his son X following him far behind. Now, this is normal for a typical family. But Musk has said he constantly carries little X around and uses him as a human shield so he’s not assassinated. Also, the video could be misleading, perhaps a nanny is following the child, but in such a venue, you would think a nanny would be holding the child’s hand.

Take a look:

People on Musk’s site X thought Elon leaving his child behind was pretty gross:

There is another view, that shows little X running after his father, but it also shows there is no one behind X. So Elon did walk away and apparently just assumed X was following him. As the parent of three kids, preschoolers are busy little buggers, and unless they are watched 24/7, who knows what they will get into. Perhaps if Elon would allow X’s mother to be there, this wouldn’t happen. Elon is using the child as an accessory and what the kid needs is a parent.
