Elon Musk is no stranger to publicity. But this time it was his two-year-old son X AE A-Xii, who grabbed the attention by making a striking debut during a Zoom meeting. In the video shared on the micro-blogging site Twitter, the toddler can be seen sitting on Musk's lap while he attends a joint digital meeting of the National Academy of Sciences’ Space Studies Board and the Board on Physics and Astronomy to discuss SpaceX’s Starship development.
As Musk takes the meeting and begins to explain the latest developments and his reusable spacecraft, the toddler starts saying "hi, hi, hi" to the camera. And when the introductory video played out and showed a rocket on screen, the toddler joyfully said, "Car, car," correcting the 2-year-old, Musk said "Rocket, but it's a rocket on a big car."
The video of the call was shared by Doge Designer on twitter with the caption "Zoom call of the year." Since being shared, the post has garnered 5.9M views, 69.3k likes and several comments.
