Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, stole the spotlight during a White House press conference with President Donald Trump. The meeting, where Trump signed an executive order for federal agencies to support cost-cutting efforts, took an unexpected turn thanks to four-year-old X.
During the Oval Office event, X made headlines for his antics—pulling faces, climbing on Musk, and even wiping his nose on the Resolute desk. The internet quickly reacted, with one person writing, “Elon’s kid is feasting on his boogers in front of Trump.” Another commented, “There’s no way this kid isn’t annoying Trump.”
Social media users speculated on what X said to Trump, with guesses ranging from “I want you to shut your mouth up” to “You are not the president, you need to go away.” At one point, X shushed someone off-camera and stuck his fingers in Musk’s ears, making reporters laugh.
Grimes, X’s mother, expressed her disapproval on Musk’s platform, writing, “He should not be in public like this,” after learning about her son’s viral behavior.
Musk and Grimes, who dated for four years, share three children, including X.
