Will Elon Musks little boy (the one he brought to see Trump) be good at chess when he grows up?

So I was watching the TV and Elon Musk, his little boy and Donald Trump were in the oval office. Trump said he's a "high IQ little boy".

I don't have a high IQ and no offence, it's unlikely anyone reading this has a high IQ and most of the people watching do not have high IQs so in a way it was like bragging about privilege which made me feel a bit worthless.

But will his little boy be good at chess when he grows up.?

Not necessarily.

Conventional IQ tests only show your ability to answer their questions; not future skill in any particular discipline, be it chess or anything else.

The child might be bright but have gifts in other directions, such as playing music or learning languages.
