Video by Elon Mosch

A video in which Elon Musk leaves his son behind while leaving a stage.

The video, which was recorded during an event in January, received more than 10 million views on social media, which caused comments from critics and supporters of the billionaire.

Newsweek Musk has contacted the press team via an e -e -mail to the press team for X, formerly Twitter.

Why is it important

In the past few months, Musk has strengthened his public appearances with his children and took X Æ A-XII to the White House, where he appeared alongside President Donald Trump.

However, the Tech CEO was criticized, including its parenthood, including its former partner Grimes. The Canadian singer, with whom Musk shares three children, accused the billionaire of not addressing a medical crisis with one of her children. The viral video can give such criticisms fuel.

What to know?

The video that was recorded on January 20 during Trump's rally before infection in Washington, DC, shortly after Grimes had written on social media that Musk ignored a situation with one of her children that “immediate attention” required.

On February 20, Grimes wrote: “I'm sorry to do this publicly, but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation.” She added that the child “would suffer a long impairment of life” if musk would not react quickly.

In the recovered video you can see Musk how he goes down a staircase while his son X Æ a-Xii is behind it. The video released on Sunday received more than 13 million views on X.

“Definitely a candidate for the father of the year – not,” wrote a viewer.

“The lack of paternal instinct is worrying” “Not next to him, I don't know what to say.”

Other users defended Musk with a letter: “His child made it down the stairs.”

Another said: “The videos swing to a completely different staircase. You cannot see whether Elon has stopped and was waiting for his son. This is a pitiful attempt to shake a parent.”

What people say

Grimes previously commented on the public appearances of X Æ A-XII on social media.: “He shouldn't be in public. I didn't see that, thanks for notifying me. But I'm glad that he was polite. Sigh.”

What happens next

Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, will probably continue to appear in political events. It remains to be seen whether his children will continue to appear next to him.
