President Donald Trump and SpaceX owner Elon Musk held a press conference in the Oval Office, but it was Musk’s 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, known as X, who stole the spotlight.
Trump introduced X, saying, “This is X, and he’s a great guy. High IQ. High-IQ individual.” However, X acted like any curious toddler, digging through his nose and exploring the room.
A viral clip appeared to show X telling Trump, “You’re not the President and you need to go away,” and later, “I want you to shut your mouth.” But the boy’s words were unclear, as he spoke softly while Musk was talking. Still, Trump was seen turning his head away, suggesting he wasn’t pleased.
The internet erupted with reactions. “Elon Musk’s son wiping his BOOGERS on the Oval Office desk… what the hell is happening!” one person wrote. Another clarified, “He wasn’t even looking at Trump… he was looking at the reporters.”
Musk eventually lifted X onto his shoulders, laughing, “Sorry for this… he’s sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff.” The chaotic, lighthearted moment sparked endless memes and debates online.
