Elon Musk may have been the main attraction at the White House, but it was his 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, who truly captured the spotlight. During a significant press conference held in the Oval Office, Musk addressed an executive order aimed at reducing the federal workforce. While he spoke, young X engaged the audience with his delightful and unfiltered toddler antics.
Introduced by former President Trump as a “high-IQ individual,” X seemed completely unfazed by the accolades. Instead of basking in the attention, he busied himself with exploring his nose and humorously depositing his findings on the historic Resolute Desk. Trump's visibly displeased expression didn't escape the notice of onlookers, adding an extra layer of amusement to the scene.
As the internet buzzed with reactions, theories about X's brief exchange with Trump began to surface. Some speculated that he whispered, “You’re not the president,” while others claimed he playfully told Trump to “shush your mouth.” Memes and tweets flooded social media, with one user exclaiming, “X gives Trump the business and wipes a booger on the desk – what a legend!” Others suggested that X wasn't even addressing the former president directly but was instead speaking to someone across the room.
The moment reached a crescendo when X began mimicking his father's movements, prompting Musk to laugh and lift him onto his shoulders. “Sorry for this,” Musk chuckled, clearly amused by the unexpected turn of events.
Regardless of what was said during that brief encounter, X Æ A-Xii has undoubtedly etched himself into the annals of viral Oval Office history, reminding us all of the joy and spontaneity that children can bring to even the most serious of occasions.
