Musk has admitted that he doesn’t parent in a traditional way. “I don’t believe in forcing kids into a mold,” he said. “I just give them access to as much information as they can handle, then let them explore.”
It’s the same way he was raised. As a child in South Africa, Elon was already programming video games by age 12, reading advanced science fiction novels, and asking questions few adults could answer. But even he admits that X might be starting earlier—and thinking bigger.
Inheritance by Immersion? Is Musk preparing X for something more than just a deep understanding of his businesses?
“He brings him everywhere,” one former Neuralink researcher noted. “He treats X like a partner—not a sidekick. It’s subtle, but it’s there.”
Observers are beginning to question whether Musk’s public appearances with X—frequently seen at SpaceX launches, investor events, and even at the headquarters of his social media platform X (formerly Twitter)—are part of a long-term plan.
