The tech world stopped scrolling when Elon Musk posted an emotional update about his youngest son’s health condition. In a rare vulnerable moment, the billionaire shared a photo of little X Æ A-12’s tiny hand gripping a mysterious metallic object alongside a worrying message about “lipstick can” complications. The vague terminology immediately set social media ablaze with speculation.
Medical professionals and concerned followers are puzzling over the meaning behind “lipstick can” – is it medical jargon, a toy hazard, or something more ominous? The lack of clear details has created a vacuum quickly filled with theories ranging from rare genetic conditions to accidental injuries. Musk’s history of unconventional parenting choices and past health concerns about his children only adds fuel to the speculation.
As the tweet racks up millions of engagements, the situation highlights how Musk’s global celebrity transforms personal family matters into public spectacles. While some fans defend his right to privacy, others argue that such ambiguous posts from influential figures inevitably spark unnecessary panic and misinformation.
