Video viewed over 20,000,000 times of Elon Musk 'abandoning' his son slammed as 'fake' as full clip emerges

It's amazing what a different angle can add to the story

Elon Musk has gone viral once again, with the eccentric billionaire leaving fans 'disturbed' by a clip where he appears to leave his son behind. However, it seems there's actually more to the story.

The parenting skills of the world's richest man have recently been called into question, with MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair spectacularly claiming that Elon Musk has secretly fathered a child with her. Elsewhere, ex-partner Grimes made a public plea for Musk to get in touch with her over a 'medical emergency' involving one of their children.

St. Clair is now going after sole custody amid claims that Musk has no involvement with her child, and while Grimes has deleted her posts, she has previously called out the head of the Department of Government Efficiency for 'parading' their son, X, around the Oval Office.

Although the details surrounding their custody battle are kept under wraps, Grimes and Musk are the parents of X, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and Techno Mechanicus. Musk seems particularly close with X, but in a resurfaced video, critics called out the billionaire when he seemingly left his own child behind.

Thought to be from a MAGA rally in January, the clip shows Musk walking down a metal staircase as four-year-old X walks behind him. Instead of turning back for his son, it looks like Musk carries on walking while waving to the crowd.

X is out of shot as the camera pans back, and although it didn't look like anyone was coming to the young kid's aid, a different angle shows what actually happened next.

With many saying they expected this kind of behavior from Musk, one critic on a now-deleted Reddit thread said: "Well he uses him as a shield. Don’t need it as much when you’re no longer on stage."


Another added: "Of course he did. Attention span of a gnat. Of no further transactional use to him at that moment. Of course someone else will pick up, assumed."

In the full video, we see Elon turn back and wait for X, cheering when the four-year-old runs to him.

One Elon fan supporter added: "Their favorite trick is using a 1 minute video and reducing it to exclude important context."

Another chimed in saying: "Not gonna lie, that was adorable and made me like Elon even more. Letting little X be independent and make mistakes, but Elon still being at a safe distance and guiding him in a manly way."

Others remain unconvinced, as someone else concluded: "But showing this angle doesn’t make it a whole lot better… He DID leave him to walk down the stairs alone. He came back afterwards."

With many saying that X is Musk's 'favorite' child, others are questioning what the rest get treated like.
