Elon shared with followers on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, alongside a picture of the youngster sitting on what appeared to be a reception desk. Wearing blue denim jeans and a sweater, the toddler had a big smile on his face as he cheesed for the camera.
X – real name X Æ A-12, pronounced "X Ash A Twelve" – is Elon's seventh child, and the oldest he has with former partner Grimes, real name Claire Elise Boucher. The pair later welcomed their daughter Exa Dark Sideræl with the help of a surrogate in December 2021; Exa goes by the nickname Y. Y's birth came a month after Elon became a father for the 10th and 11th time as he welcomed twins with tech executive Shivon Zilis.
Grimes later explained her relationship with Elon, admitting to Vanity Fair that "there’s no real word for it". "I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid. We live in separate houses.
We’re best friends. We see each other all the time. We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it," she said.
In March 2022 Grimes confirmed that they had split for good but his birth was confirmed in a biography of the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire written by Walter Isaacson. Elon is also father to 19-year-old twins Vivian Jenna and Griffin, and triplets Kai, Damian, and Sax, who were born in 2006, with his first wife, Justine Wilso.
