Elon Musk is facing intense criticism after a video has surfaced on X showed him walking away from his four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, at what appears to be a pro-Trump event.However, a new video has been shared showing another angle of the moment – and has put a lot of criticism to bed.
Social media users say they have been left “saddened” and “disturbed” as the video pans to Musk’s young son navigating a set of metal stairs on his own while his father walks on.
The original clip – which has now gone viral with some reaching over 17 million views – captures Musk exiting a stage and descending metal stairs, waving to the crowd as he walks away.
X, who frequently accompanies his father to public events, can be seen following behind, gripping the handrails as he carefully makes his way down. A security guard stands nearby, but Musk appears to continue striding off without waiting for his son.
The video then cuts to X still making his way down the steps alone. This particular footage does not show if other adults were present to assist the child, leaving many social media users disturbed by the scene.
