The Boy Who Reached the Stars
Ten-year-old Kai Musk had always dreamed of space. While most kids were obsessed with video games or superheroes, Kai spent his weekends building rockets with his father — the famous Elon Musk. Together, they had just finished a handcrafted model of the Starship rocket, complete with tiny solar panels, a crew cabin, and even a foldable seat system. It was Kai’s proudest creation, and he was bringing it to school for Show and Tell.
But life at Westlake Academy wasn’t easy for Kai. Being Elon Musk’s son made him a target. The other kids called him names like “Rocket Boy” or “Alien Kid.” One boy in particular — Brady — never missed a chance to mock him.
That morning, Kai carefully placed his rocket in his desk, hoping nothing would go wrong. When his turn finally came to present, he stood in front of the class, nervous but proud.
“This is the rocket my dad and I built. It’s a model of the Starship, which will one day take people to Mars.”
For a moment, some students leaned in, intrigued. But as Kai returned to his seat, Brady stuck out his foot. Kai tripped, and the rocket crashed to the floor — shattering into pieces. Laughter filled the room. The teacher, Mrs. Allen, dismissed it as an accident. But Kai knew it wasn’t.
He kept his tears in until he got home. Later that night, he quietly threw the broken pieces into his desk drawer and curled up in bed. When his dad came in to check on him, Kai pretended to be asleep.
Weeks passed, and the bullying worsened. One day, Brady and his friends stole Kai’s backpack and ruined his personal journal — the one filled with sketches and notes about future Mars colonies. They laughed and mocked his designs, throwing the journal into spilled milk.
That night, Kai finally broke down and told his father everything.
Elon Musk didn’t just comfort his son — he took action.
“I have an idea,” Elon said. “Not just to help you, Kai. But to help kids everywhere.”
Together, they worked with top engineers to design TESS — the Teaching Enhancement Support System, a friendly AI robot built to detect and prevent bullying in schools. TESS would use facial recognition and emotional analysis to monitor student behavior, record bullying incidents, and report them safely to teachers and parents.
A few weeks later, Elon and Kai returned to Westlake Academy. In front of the entire fifth grade, they gave a special presentation on Mars and introduced TESS. The robot rolled onto the stage, scanning the crowd, smiling through her screen.
TESS quickly became part of daily life at the school. Bullying incidents dropped dramatically. Even Brady kept his distance.
Kai’s life transformed. Kids who once mocked him started asking questions about space and rockets. He went from being the “weird kid” to the “space genius.” More importantly, TESS helped make the school safer for everyone.
But that wasn’t all.
When a news story about TESS went viral, thousands of children across the country sent messages to Kai, sharing their own stories of being bullied. There weren’t enough TESS robots to go around — not yet.
So Kai came up with a new idea.
With the help of his classmates — including Brady, who was now trying to change his ways — Kai launched Rocket Kids, a website where children could share stories, get support, and learn ways to handle bullying. The platform grew quickly, reaching schools around the world.
A year later, TESS robots were in over 50 schools. Rocket Kids had more than 100,000 members. Kai even found out that the original idea for TESS had come from his own sketch in his ruined journal — a drawing his father had secretly rescued and used to inspire the robot’s creation.
“You changed the world,” Elon told his son one evening.
Kai smiled. “I just wanted the bullying to stop.”
“And you did,” his father said. “Not just for you — for everyone.”
Kai still dreamed of Mars. But for now, he was helping make Earth a kinder, safer place for all kids — one idea, one robot, one story at a time.
