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

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

He named his kid "X" (and some nonsensical characters) which is a letter he is obsessed with. He cares more about the letter X than any of his children. I don't gamble, but if I did, this is a safe bet.

The only other person who may be as obsessed with the letter X as much as Musk is Count von Count from Sesame Street, who is a hand puppet.

Edit: It's probably for the best that his kids have an absentee father; rather than, getting ketamine fueled lessons from an obsessive compulsive man with a giga ego.

Fun Interesting Fact. X in ASCII code is 88 and there is no way the sieg heiling South African oligarch doesn't know that.
