Elon Musk, 53, attended an event where President Trump signed an executive order to reduce federal costs. However, attention shifted to Musk’s son, X, after his behavior sparked online reactions.
Social media users claimed X picked his nose and wiped it on the Resolute Desk. One joked, “Trump seethes as Musk’s kid eats his boogers.” Others speculated X told Trump, “You’re not the president,” or “I want you to shush.” A more extreme claim suggested he said, “Shut your f**king mouth.”
Trump appeared visibly irritated, with some believing X’s actions caused the reaction.
Grimes, X’s mother, criticized Musk for bringing their son, stating, “He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me.”
Musk and Grimes, who dated for four years, share two other children—Techno Mechanicus, two, and Exa Dark Sideræl, three.
