Austin, Texas – May 2025 — While most dads buy their sons a box of Hot Wheels, Elon Musk — the tech mogul behind Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink — just redefined what it means to be a “cool dad” in the most Elon way possible.

On a sunny afternoon, Musk took his son X Æ A-Xii (better known as “Lil X”) to a private racetrack near Austin for a father-son day out. But this was no ordinary outing.

As a sleek, all-electric VoltSpeed race car zoomed past with a high-pitched electric roar, Lil X’s eyes lit up. He pointed with excitement and shouted:

“Dad, I want that car!”

For most parents, the typical response might be: “Maybe for your birthday.”
But Elon? He didn’t just buy the car — he bought the whole company.

The $45 Million “Yes, Son”

According to sources close to the deal, just days after that moment, Musk signed an acquisition agreement reportedly worth $45 million, taking over VoltSpeed Racing, an emerging startup developing high-performance electric race cars designed for real-world speed enthusiasts and tech-forward thrill-seekers.

The deal includes:

• VoltSpeed’s full team of engineers and designers

• A series of unreleased racing prototypes

• Ownership of a private racetrack facility in Texas

• And most interestingly: intellectual property for augmented-reality racing cockpit tech, which Lil X is said to be obsessed with.

From Playground to HyperTech Racingverse

But the story doesn’t stop at ownership. Elon Musk is reportedly turning his son’s playground into the world’s first hybrid physical–virtual racing metaverse, where kids (and adults) can race real cars like they’re inside a video game.

Social media’s already dubbed the project “Lil X Racingverse” — a high-tech sandbox where AI, VR, and autonomous driving combine to blur the lines between gaming and reality.

A Birthday Gift or a Billion-Dollar Blueprint?

What started as a child’s offhand wish may soon become a new chapter in:

• Immersive entertainment

• Clean-tech motorsport

• And possibly, the first-ever “Physical Metaverse” for family fun and future racers.

It’s unclear if Lil X will soon be managing a racecar brand at the age of five, but he’s already earned the unofficial title of Chief Child Inspiration Officer of VoltSpeed — a fitting role for the youngest spark behind Elon’s latest ignition.

Final Thoughts:

While most parents are limiting their kids’ screen time, Elon Musk just gave his son the ultimate real-life racing simulator, powered by billions and a wild imagination.
