During their meeting, the tech billionaire held his son on his lap, while the Turkish President bounced a football and repeatedly offered it to X who did not take it.
"Where is your wife?" Mr Erdogan asked Mr Musk. To this, the billionaire said, "Oh, she is in San Francisco. We are separated now. That's why I take care of my son mostly".
