Elon Musk brings son X as his plus-one to Super Bowl 2024 amid custody battle with ex Grimes
Super Bowl Sunday was a family day for Elon Musk.
The controversial owner of X enjoyed gambling in Las Vegas alongside one of his sons, X Æ A-Xii (or “X” for short).
Sportswear mogul Michael Rubin shared a photo on Instagram of Musk with the 3-year-old perched on his shoulders alongside New England Patriots CEO Robert Kraft and himself backstage at the big game .
Musk, 52, is currently embroiled in a custody battle with X’s mother, Grimes, over their three children: X, 2-year-old daughter Exa Dark Sideræl and 1-year-old son Techno “Tau” Mechanicus .
The “Genesis” singer, 35, had filed a “petition to establish parental relationship” in September 2023 in California, which requires the court to identify a child’s legal parents when they are not married. She previously begged Musk to “let me see my son” on social media.
Just three days before Grimes’ trial, the Tesla co-founder filed a petition in Texas to become the children’s legal parent, claiming he had “actual care, control and possession of each child since birth of every child,” and that the children lived in the Lone Star State.
Musk began dating the pop star, real name Claire Elise Boucher, in 2018, and she gave birth to X two years later.
Page Six exclusively reported in September 2021 that Musk and Grimes had broken up.
However, Grimes revealed in March 2022 that she and Musk had secretly welcomed their daughter, whose nickname is Y, via surrogate in December 2021.
The on-and-off couple then quietly welcomed their third child, according to author Walter Isaacson’s September 2023 biography, “Elon Musk.”

The SpaceX CEO also has eight other children.
He and ex-wife Justine Wilson used IVF to have twins Griffin and Vivian, who are now 20.
Vivian came out as transgender in June 2022 when she filed to change her first name to her mother’s last name.
The filing listed the reason as “gender identity and the fact that I no longer live or wish to be related to my biological father in any way.”
The former couple resorted to IVF again to welcome their triplet sons Kai, Saxon and Damian, who are now 18.
Musk and Wilson – whose eldest son, Nevada, died in 2002 – divorced in 2008.
The fecund business bigwig also welcomed twins with Neuralink’s Director of Operations and Special Projects, Shivon Zilis, in November 2021.
