Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, stole the show during a White House press conference with President Donald Trump. The four-year-old, known as X, joined his dad as Trump signed an order requiring federal agencies to support the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost-cutting efforts.
X quickly became the center of attention, pulling faces, climbing on Musk, and even wiping his nose on the Resolute Desk. One viewer joked, “Elon’s kid is feasting on his boogers in front of Trump,” while another said, “There’s no way this kid is not annoying Trump.”
Social media users speculated on what X said to Trump, with some claiming he told him, “I want you to shut your mouth up,” and others hearing, “You are not the president, you need to go away.” Musk commented on X’s antics: “He’s sticking his fingers in my ears… It’s been hard to hear sometimes.”
Grimes, X’s mother, reacted on Musk’s platform, X, saying, “He should not be in public like this… But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.” Musk and Grimes, who split in 2022, also share two other children, Techno Mechanicus and Exa Dark Sideræl.
