Sources close to Pitt subsequently said that he found it ‘depressing to see this dragged up.’

His pals have also lashed out at his ex Angelina Jolie, accusing her of carrying out ‘textbook parental alienation.’

Relaxing drive: Brad Pitt showed off his need for speed on Tuesday when he was spotted for the first time since he was called a ‘world-class a**hole’ by his adopted son Pax in a resurfaced Instagram post

Grinning: Pitt, 59, didn’t seem too concerned by the bruising comments when he was spotted out in Los Angeles with his recently purchased $200,000 electric Porsche Taycan

Harsh: Just a day before, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that his 19-year-old adopted son Pax had ruthlessly bashed his father as a ‘terrible and despicable person’ on his private Instagram in a Father’s Day post from 2020; Pax and mother Angelina Jolie seen in 2018

The actor was seen dropping by an office building for a meeting before getting back into the speedy emissions-free vehicle.

Brad looked as if he was ready to do some outdoor exploring with his brown button-up linen shirt, which featured large breast pockets and was left undone at the top and bottom buttons.

He wore the item over a white undershirt and paired it with matching brown pants with rectangular pockets.

The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star blocked out the piercing sun with a frayed bucket hat that looked as if it could have been woven from straw, and he wore weathered off-white sneakers.

He completed the casual-chic ensemble with a cool pair of aviator sunglasses, a gold luxury wristwatch and multiple gold bracelets on his opposite wrist, as well as what looked like a gold signet ring.

As Brad returned from the building to get into his luxury vehicle, he pulled out what appeared to be a $20 bill and tipped the valet while grinning.

As he drove away, he whipped off his hat to reveal his short blond hair, which was messily styled.

According to Car And Driver, Pitt’s electric Porsche Taycan is able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a stunning 2.4 seconds, though it trades off speed and power for a smaller-than-usual vehicle range of up to 246 miles per full charge.

While the base model costs around $92,500, the speedy Turbo S version costs nearly $200,000.

Brad’s meeting and joy ride happened just a day after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed years-old posts from his adopted son Pax, who furiously bashed him in a Father’s Day post from 2020.

His angry comment was appended with a photo of his father accepting his Best Supporting Actor trophy for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood at the Academy Awards.

‘Happy Father’s Day to this world class a**hole!!’ he began, before saying Pitt repeatedly proved himself ‘to be a terrible and despicable person.’

‘You have no consideration or empathy toward your 4 youngest children who tremble in feat when in your presence,’ he continued.

Brad’s four youngest children, all of whom he shares with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, include Zahara, now 18, and the couple’s three biological children, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Angelina recently supported Zahara as she was inducted into the first historically Black sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, at Spelman College in Atlanta.

Although Pax was the third child to be adopted — after brother Maddox, 22, and Zahara — that Jolie adopted, he is one year older than Zahara.

No love lost: ‘Happy Father’s Day to this world class a**hole!!’ he began, before saying Pitt repeatedly proved himself ‘to be a terrible and despicable person’

Children in question: Brad’s four youngest children, all of whom he shares with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie , include Zahara, now 18, and the couple’s three biological children, Shiloh, 17, and 15-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne

Pax continued: ‘You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so.

‘You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday. So, Happy Father’s Day, you f***ing awful human being!!!’ he concluded on a venomous note.

Pax was adopted by Angelina on her own from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in 2007. He was three years old at the time and had been abandoned as a newborn by his biological mother at an obstetrics hospital.

Brad formally adopted him the following year.

When Pitt and Jolie, 48, split in 2016, just two years after they had married in a private ceremony in France, the children stayed with their mother amid reports of an altercation aboard a private jet between eldest son Maddox and his father.

Now it is clear that the relationship between Pax and Pitt is also troubled, with the 19-year-old accusing his dad of making his life ‘hell’ in the extraordinary social media rant.

Pax posted the broadside at Pitt to the stories section of his private Instagram account when he was 16.

A source has confirmed the private account does belong to Pax. ‘It’s the account he uses for friends — friends from school mostly. He never says much about his parents, keeps himself to himself, so that was unusual.’

Older boys: Although Pax was the third child to be adopted — after brother Maddox, 22, and Zahara — that Jolie adopted, he is one year older than Zahara
