Musk asks son (4) for political advice, who answers extremely smartly

USA - Practice makes perfect! Tesla bossElon Musk (53) is not only the richest man in the world and extremely influential in the media, but is now also very brashly involved in world politics. The following story, which recently spread like wildfire on social media, is about a Musk of a smaller kind.

Unbelievable, but true: the tech billionaire is actually the proud father of twelve children.

One of them, be careful, risk of confusion, has the short name"X". A letter that the average consumer would otherwise associate with Musk's short messaging service of the same name (formerly Twitter).

The four-year-old toddler was now making the rounds on his dad's "X" channel when he gave out some clever advice while sitting in a car, which had a lot to offer due to its political explosiveness.

The questions that the famous dad asked his son seemed simple and difficult at the same time: "What should I do?" was the first thing the "big" Musk wanted to know. Apparently a crystal-clear case for "X", as his answer came almost like a shot from a gun: "Save America", the youngster shouted at him with an apparent sense of self-importance.

The second part of the answer was basically a rhetorical continuation of the first: "And?", Dad Musk asked dryly. The little boy gratefully took up the opportunity and added "Help Trump", according to the bright youngster's pithy advice.

It's no wonder that "little" Musk was already making the case for US President-elect Donald Trump (78) - after all, his entrepreneur dad is probably the most prominent member of the Trump circle.

The clip, which lasts just ten seconds, was published on Sunday evening and immediately attracted a lot of attention given the billionaire's enormous reach.

Within a day, the sequence had been clicked over 20 million times and commented on thousands of times. If "X" really wants to follow in his father's footsteps, however, he will have to give a few more wise words of advice.
