Person of the Year Elon Musk in Conversation With TIME's Edward Felsenthal

For Elon Musk, Monday evening was a family affair. Waving to his mother Maye Musk in the audience, and balancing his toddler X Æ A-Xii (pronounced “X”) on his knee, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO sat down for a Q&A with TIME Editor in Chief Edward Felsenthal. Musk had just been named TIME 2021 Person of the Year, and gathered with TIME editors and members of the TIME 100 community in New York City to discuss his selection.

Haven't seen a baby this calm during an interview!!!

Elon seems so proud of his kids

[likithr.n]

The most well behaved kid i have seen on a TV

[pearllee]

Baby x is just chillin thr whole interview. I never saw a child so behaved for so long.

[evedotcom]

I have never ever seen a child of that age be so quiet and wellbehaved! He was similar in the other interview via webcam but immediately cried when he was taken away from Elon. He just loves chilling with his Dad 😭❤️

Imagine how well educated X-man is going to be one day. And he's already comfortable with an audience

[elizabethdjokovic]

What a beautiful child. He's so relaxed and calm being with his daddy.

“To take a set of actions that maximize the probability that the future is good, and hopefully not pave the road to hell with good intentions”, what a philosophy!

[supplegrey]

I'm thinking what his son thinking during this interview, he just so calm and present

[afranka]

Everyone on YouTube is so into the baby, no one listen to his dad 😂😂😂

[plasmichoneytrip]

This kid is unbelievable! He is more well-behaved in these types of gatherings than I am! I’ve also seen his other videos and he is quite entertaining as well. A well-adjusted baby.

4 trillion to one chance of being alive. *This kid absolutely hit the lottery*

[iamzacnz]

My son will definitely be all over the show but this boy is a good listener

[jesusanchorofmysoulkatheri]

Son is so cute!! He’s taking in all the words as daddy is saying♥️❣️‼️

[quaidcarlobulloch]

"Here, for a start here." Was a beautiful response.

[gimochiman]

pretty sure Elon gonna make his son an astronaut

[knightnm]

Elon looking at X's face is so adorable

[alwinlook]

Honestly I watched this to see baby X. I already know all of Elon's answers. As a dad, I'm impressed at how Elon connects with his son.

3:42 dad moves his head while answering, baby does the same thing too! So cute 🥰

[humanrights]

Never seen any baby that calm, he must be programmed !

[Karen.c.h]

That child was so well behaved. And cute!

[markfwarren]

I love how he throws in the Hitchhiker's reference.
