Watch: Elon Musk had a Dad moment as his son X joined him on a video call

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk may be a billionaire, but even he's not spared from some parenting duties!

Musk had a classic dad moment during a video call on Wednesday, with his 16-month-old son joining him on his lap. Musk was speaking on SpaceX’s Starship program during a talk organised by the National Academies Space Studies Board.

When it was his turn to speak and he switched on the camera, he was seen with his youngest son, X Æ A-12, sitting on his lap. The young boy was seen looking intently at the computer screen as his father prepped himself to talk.

The screen had videos of rockets. Responding to his son’s bauble, Elon Musk told him, “Rocket”.
The baby continued to tap his hands on the table as his father looked at the screen. A few minutes later, two men could be seen opening the room’s door to take him away.

Christian Davenport, a journalist from The Washington Post shared a screenshot of Musk with his son, saying, "Elon and baby giving a Starship presentation. As he once told me, 'Mars needs babies.'" The SpaceX and Tesla chief responded to his tweet, saying, "It (Mars) does need people!"
