Elon Musk’s 3-year-old son, Strider, is an out-of-this-world artist, at least according to his parents.
Rather than just sticking Strider’s drawing on the refrigerator, his mother, Shivon Zilis, shared it with a wider audience on X.

“Imagine bringing images to life,” she captioned the post.

Musk, 54, and Zilis, 39, have four children together, boy-girl twins Strider and Azure, 17-month-old daughter, Arcadia, and son Seldon, bor
