It’s a name that straddles the boundary between human and machine, past and future. Fitting for a child growing up in the headquarters of both a space exploration company and a tech empire redefining the future.
If Elon’s recent statements are any indication, X isn’t just watching anymore—he’s starting to contribute in small but meaningful ways. “He’s helping me rethink some things,” Musk said during an informal Q&A. “His questions force me to simplify. That’s actually a good thing.”
Musk went on to describe how explaining Neuralink’s goals to X—using metaphors involving toy blocks and memory games—gave him a clearer understanding of how to communicate complex ideas. Many parents would pay top dollar for cognitive therapy or child development clinics to foster such breakthroughs.
Mini Musk or Future CEO? Whether or not X Æ A-12 will one day run Tesla or SpaceX remains to be seen. Musk has said before that he will never force his children to follow in his footsteps. “They have to choose,” he said. “That’s the only way it works.”
But he’s also not shielding them from the realities of innovation. Unlike many children of billionaires who grow up in isolated bubbles, X is growing up in conference rooms, R&D labs, launch pads, and AI development centers.
The exposure alone sets him apart—and would cost most families significant financial planning, premium insurance, and legal advisement for future inheritance strategies. Not Just X—A Broader Legacy.
