Elon Musk is known for pushing the boundaries of science, technology, and even genetics. The billionaire has spoken openly about his desire to create a legacy of high-intelligence offspring, and with multiple children from different women, many believe he’s been selecting genes with precision to craft the ultimate next-generation Musk.
But here’s the twist: Despite Musk’s efforts, his beloved son X Æ A-12 (Lil X) still has moments where he looks exactly like his mother, Grimes!
From his expressions to his unique features, certain photos prove that Grimes’ DNA is making an undeniable mark—and fans can’t stop talking about it. Let’s dive into why Musk’s “genius selection” might not be as precise as he thought and explore the shocking moments where Lil X looks like a mini version of Grimes instead of the billionaire tech mogul.
Musk’s Obsession with Genetics: “Smart People Should Have More Kids”
If there’s one thing Elon Musk believes in, it’s intelligence-driven reproduction.
📢 “If smart people don’t have kids, we’re doomed.” – Elon Musk
Musk has been very vocal about his belief that high-IQ individuals should reproduce more, and he’s leading by example with his ever-growing list of children.
💡 10+ children (and counting) from different partners, many of whom are highly intelligent.
💡 Had twins secretly with one of his Neuralink executives, Shivon Zilis.
💡 Believes AI and declining birth rates are the biggest threats to civilization—so he’s making sure his genes spread.
But no matter how much Musk carefully picks his partners for intelligence and genetic superiority, there are some things DNA won’t let you control—like who your child ends up looking like!
Lil X’s Adorable Resemblance to Grimes – The Internet Can’t Unsee It!
Since Lil X’s birth in 2020, fans have been debating who he looks like more—Musk or Grimes? While some argue that his bone structure and forehead scream “mini Musk”, there are clear moments where he is undeniably his mother’s twin.
Here are some of the most talked-about photos that prove Grimes’ DNA is winning the battle in unexpected ways:
1. The “Mischievous Grin” Photo – A Copy-Paste of Grimes!
📸 In a now-viral image, Lil X is seen flashing a mischievous, slightly mischievous smile—a signature look Grimes has been known for her entire career.
🔥 The internet exploded, with fans pointing out how his facial expression is identical to Grimes’ younger self.
🎭 Even the way he tilts his head slightly while smirking is a move straight out of Grimes’ playbook.
At that moment, even Musk’s strongest genetic input couldn’t compete—Lil X looked like a carbon copy of his mother.
2. The Wild Hair Strikes Again – Lil X’s Messy Rockstar Look
We all know that Grimes has always had a signature wild, artistic, and slightly chaotic look—and guess what?
👦 Lil X’s untamed, free-flowing hair looks just like his mom’s!
🚀 While Musk keeps things structured and calculated, Grimes thrives in unpredictability and creativity.
Fans have noticed that Lil X’s messy, uncombed hair and carefree attitude are giving serious “Baby Grimes” vibes.
Some even joked that Musk must be reprogramming X’s Neuralink to make him more like a scientist—but his mother’s genes are rebelling!
3. The “Big Eyes” Phenomenon – Who Needs a DNA Test?
When Lil X was photographed with his big, expressive eyes staring off into space, people couldn’t help but notice:
👀 His eyes are IDENTICAL to Grimes’!
While Musk has sharper, more analytical eyes, Lil X inherited the same large, dreamy, slightly otherworldly gaze that made Grimes famous.
✨ It’s as if Lil X is ready to write an avant-garde album at any moment, just like his mom.
🚀 If he doesn’t grow up to be a tech genius like Musk, he might just be the next experimental musician of his generation.
Musk’s Reaction? “It’s a Genetic Lottery”
So, what does Elon Musk think about all this?
When asked about his children’s genetics, he admitted:
📢 “It’s a genetic lottery. You can guide the odds, but you can’t predict the outcome with 100% certainty.”
Even Musk, who built Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, can’t out-engineer genetics entirely.
💡 Sure, he might have chosen a mother with intelligence and creativity, but there’s no “AI override” for dominant features.
It’s clear that Grimes’ DNA is holding its ground, no matter how much Musk’s genius genes try to dominate.
Will Lil X Grow Up to Be a Musician or a Tech Mogul?
Now comes the biggest question:
🔮 Will Lil X follow in Musk’s footsteps, becoming a tech visionary?
🎵 Or will he embrace his mother’s creative side and dominate the music industry?
Right now, it’s too early to tell, but fans are already placing their bets.
🛸 Some think he’ll merge both worlds—becoming a cyberpunk musician who builds AI-generated soundtracks.
🚀 Others believe Musk will push him into engineering, space, and AI development.
🎭 Or maybe, he’ll rebel completely and take a path no one expects.
One thing is certain—Lil X has inherited a mix of two of the most fascinating public figures of our time, and the world is watching to see which side wins.
Final Thoughts – Musk’s DNA Might Be Powerful, But Grimes’ Influence Is Undeniable
Elon Musk might be one of the most powerful and intelligent men on Earth, but even he can’t fully control how his children turn out.
Despite his carefully chosen genetics, Lil X still has undeniable Grimes-like moments, proving that nature always has the final say.
📸 From his mischievous grin…
🎶 To his free-spirited hair…
👀 To his big, expressive eyes…
Lil X is a perfect blend of both parents—but in certain moments, he is all Grimes.
