Elon Musk Takes Son X To Tesla Gigafactory In Germany

Elon Musk recently made headlines by celebrating Bring Your Kid to Work Day a month early. The controversial billionaire brought his 3-year-old son to the Tesla Gigafactory in Germany. Musk was seen carrying his son on his shoulders while interacting with employees at the factory.

This visit occurred shortly after production was halted at the plant due to a suspected arson attack that disrupted its power supply. The Volcano Group, a left-wing organization, claimed responsibility for the fire and called for the complete destruction of the gigafactory.

Tesla's plans to expand the factory in the Berlin area have faced criticism over potential impacts on nearby protected wetlands. Despite ongoing custody battles with his son's mother, Grimes, Musk has been spending quality time with his children. He was recently spotted attending the Super Bowl with his son in Las Vegas.

Musk and Grimes are also parents to a 2-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son. Grimes filed a petition regarding parental rights in California, while Musk sought legal parentage in Texas, citing his care and control of the children.

In addition to his children with Grimes, Musk has eight other children from his previous marriage and relationships. He shares 20-year-old twins with his ex-wife and welcomed triplet boys with her. Tragically, their firstborn son passed away from SIDS in 2002.

Musk also has twins with Shivon Zilis, the director of operations at Neuralink. Their twins were born in November 2021, adding to Musk's growing family.
