“Where is your wife?” Erdogan asked Musk.
Billionaire Elon Musk took his son X to a meeting with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, which led to an amusing conversation between the two. Musk met with Erdogan at the Turkish House in New York. During their meeting, the tech billionaire held his son on his lap as the Turkish president bounced a soccer ball and repeatedly offered it to X, who didn’t take it.
“Where is your wife?” Erdogan asked Musk. To this, the billionaire said, “Oh, she’s in San Francisco. We’re divorced now. That’s why I mainly take care of my son.”
