People are convinced they saw Donald Trump’s “seething” reaction to Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, during their recent White House visit.
Musk, 53, joined Trump, 78, on Tuesday (11 February) to witness the signing of an executive order aimed at reducing federal costs. However, it was Musk’s four-year-old son, X, who stole the spotlight.
While Musk answered press questions, X caused a stir by making faces and interrupting. The moment that grabbed attention was when “the little boy could be seen picking his nose and wiping his bogies on the Resolute Desk.”
Social media exploded with reactions. One user joked, “Trump seethes as President Musk’s kid eats his boogers then paws his desk.” Another wrote, “OMG! Elon’s son just wiped a booger on the desk of the President of the United States!”
Even X’s mother commented online: “He should not be in public like this… But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”
Observers couldn’t help but wonder if Trump’s tight smile hid frustration. “There’s no way this kid is not annoying Trump,” one viewer claimed.
