• The father-son duo walked around as X hopped on his dad’s shoulders
• Massive security detail trailed Musk and his son as they played tourists  

Elon Musk, 52, was surrounded by massive security detail as he took his young son to visit the ancient tomb at the Patheon in Rome, Italy on Saturday.  

The CEO of Tesla tried to get some sight seeing in with his three-year-old son X Æ A-12, who goes by ‘X’ while in town for Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s political event ATREJU.

The father-son duo took in the intricate art at the Borghese Gallery and Museum together as Musk snapped some pictures. 

He was also accompanied by a platoon of bodyguards who stayed by his side on the streets of Rome all night. 

He took his son around the museum and frequently paused at the tomb of Raffaello Sanzio and then stopped in front of the chapel of San Giuseppe in the Holy Land.

The father and son were constantly surrounded by massive security detail as they toured the Patheon in Rome 

The owner of X (formally known as Twitter) also posted pictures of him with his son, and pictures of the art they saw on social media. 

He shared a picture of the Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne marble sculpture and a picture of him with X Æ A-12 as they gazed at another piece. 

As the dotting dad walked around, his little one, who he also calls ‘Lil X’ wrapped his arms around his father’s neck and took in the art and scenery. 

At one point, it looked as though Musk and his son received special gifts from the museum. 

X Æ A- looked interested in some of the pieces, but at some point he started to look a bit grumpy and tired. 

Musk shares X Æ A- with Claire Elise Boucher, who also goes by Grimes, along with two other children-  one-year-old daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, known affectionately as ‘Y’ and their newest edition- Tau Techno Mechanicus. 

The billionaire has had a total of 11 children, including his first-born with ex-wife Justine Wilson, who tragically died in infancy of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Musk welcomed twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis in November 2021, just weeks before Musk and Grimes had their second child via surrogate. 

The father and son seemed to be sightseeing alone, and it is unclear if anyone else tagged along with them on the trip. 

The annual ATREJU political festival was held from Friday to Sunday and is hosted by the family of the European Conservative and Reformist Party. 

This year, Musk was the star guest a the conference and in a video on he posted on his X account, Musk said: ‘Italy is an incredible country, incredible culture. I love visiting. I love Italian people. Italia,’ as he saluted a wine glass in the air. 

In another clip, Musk is heard saying: ‘Go humans! Team humanity!’ 

According to CNN, the billionaire frequently spoke about the human population while at the conference as he encouraged the crowd to ‘make more Italian to save Italy’s culture.’

In other recent news, Musk was accused of promoting anti-Semitism in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war after he agreed with a post that claimed that Jewish people have been ‘pushing hatred against whites.’ 

Since his comment went viral, he went on to apologize for his actions as he said that that was ‘one of the most foolish’ things he’s done on the platform.

X seemed to have moments where he was excited and interested in the art, and other moments when he looked cranky and tired

He also went on to tell advertisers ‘Go f**k yourself’ after many of them fled the platform.

X and Musk have been under fire for what some claim is rampant antisemitism on the site. It has even led to major companies such as Apple and Disney to pull advertisements from the platform.

Andy Cohen’s after show for ‘Watch What Happens Live’ just recently pulled from the platform in an effort to stop their content from appearing alongside anti-Semitic posts. 

A source told Page Six that WWHL production worried about their content ‘living adjacent to inappropriate, hateful or antisemitic advertising or content’ and that ‘staffers wanted the content to live in a safe place.’ 

Cohen, who is Jewish and the executive producer of the late-night show, was reported to have been involved in the decision.
