It all started during a seemingly routine segment on “The View.” Elon Musk, widely recognized for his groundbreaking ventures in technology and space exploration, recently appeared at a Tesla event accompanied by his young son, X.

Critics and even longtime fans expressed disappointment, labeling her comments as cruel and unnecessary. Many argued that no matter the circumstance, children should remain off-limits in public discourse.
