Elon Musk praised after viral clip shows him trying to get his son to go to bed

Elon Musk praised after viral clip shows him trying to get his son to go to bed

The tech mogul's fans have praised his parenting skills on stream

Fans have praised Elon Musk's parenting skills after a clip of his stream shows him managing to convince his youngest son to go to bed.

The tech mogul certainly has a lot on his plate. Despite being the head of X, Tesla, SpaceX, and the newly appointed Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk still manages to spend time with his youngest son, and even reach the number one spot in Diablo 4.

His mom has recently revealed that he's been having a lot of fun in recent weeks, and perhaps part of that involves spending quality time with some family members. His estrangements with his daughter have been well documented, but he appears to be inseparable with his most recent child.

While he remains in the midst of a fierce custody battle with the child's mother Grimes, their son together - lovingly named X Æ A-Xii - has been seen frequently with the billionaire at events and now even on stream.

Near the end of a recent Diablo 4 livestream, X crawled up to his father, to which Musk said: "Alright X, I think it's time for bed."

His son replied declaring that "you have to go to bed" instead, as only a child could do, and many of Elon's fans have praised the way that he dealt with the situation.

After a little back and forth, the Tesla owner said: "What if I agree with you, and we both go to bed?" After this, he shortly called it a day and ended the stream.

Comments underneath a clip of the incident have praised Elon's behavior, with one pointing out that the final statement was "golden words to a child from father."

Another claims that "he's a kind hearted genius, he uses his knowledge to help better humanity, and an overall awesome person in my book."

Some have pushed back against the wave of praise, with one commenter arguing that "this video doesn't prove jack s***, it is 25 seconds long," in reference to someone claiming that Musk has a 'special bond' with his son.

One reply to this perhaps humorously sums up the nature of being a parent though, declaring: "lol yeah it proves he wanted the kid to sleep. Everybody wants a sleeping baby [laughing emoji]." If there's anything you can't dispute, is that a parent is always happy when their child finally falls asleep.

This certainly won't be the last that we'll see of the pair together though, as Musk is keen on taking young X almost everywhere he goes. Who knows, maybe he'll end up being the next head of DOGE.
