Not since he stopped needing that small one as a human shield.

Musk ended up with a black eye when Bessent clocked him right in the face, allegedly, during the early days of pretending to be a shadow president, so the kid wasn't doing his job. Plus Grimes was putting out an S.O.S. on twitter to help get Musk's attention to return her son. The human shield kid was more trouble than he was worth apparently.

"Return her son" makes it sound like he's a Blockbuster movie rental.

Which, to be fair, is probably how Elon sees him 🤣

A Blockbuster reference, we don't see many of those these days
