Lil X’s Launchpad: Growing Up in Musk’s Universe
Lil X’s Launchpad: Growing Up in Musk’s Universe
At SpaceX’s Boca Chica site, Lil X Æ A-Xii once pressed a mock launch button, giggling as engineers cheered. Elon Musk, watching closely, later tweeted that X might “run a rocket one day.” Such moments highlight how Musk’s world of innovation doubles as a playground for his son, blending high tech with childlike wonder.
Not everyone’s sold on this approach—some X users question if Lil X’s exposure to such environments risks overwhelming him. Others applaud Musk for demystifying science, making it a family affair. Elon insists X’s joy is genuine, pointing to the toddler’s excitement at watching Starship tests, but he’s careful to say it’s about fun, not expectation.
What’s clear is that Lil X’s childhood is unlike any other, steeped in the hum of progress. As he grows, he’ll decide how to navigate his father’s legacy, but for now, he’s just a kid on a launchpad, dreaming as big as the rockets overhead.
