How Elon Musk's 'Mercy Cosplay' Request To Amber Heard And His Secret Third Baby 'Techno Mechanicus' Became Trending Topics

This month, a viral photograph surfaced of actress Amber Heard dressed in a cosplay of the Overwatch character Mercy, which she apparently donned for her then-boyfriend, Elon Musk. Last week, Musk then shared this image on Twitter / X, drawing considerable attention and inspiring memes across social media.

This event unfolded alongside the revelation of Elon Musk and pop artist Grimes' third child, "Techno Mechanicus," affectionately nicknamed "Tau." The existence of this child had been kept secret until it was disclosed in a biography of Musk authored by Walter Isaacson. Notably, this revelation came shortly after Grimes publicly reached out to Isaacson via Twitter, requesting his intervention to enable Musk to "see her son."

Combined, these two viral moments proved to be hot topics surrounding the billionaire entrepreneur, so in case you missed it, here's everything you could possibly want to know about them condensed into a quick recap video.
