People spot Donald Trump’s ‘seething’ reaction to Elon Musk’s son X Æ A-12’s behaviour during White House visit
During a press conference at the White House on February 11, both President Donald Trump and Elon Musk were present, but it wasn’t the two powerful men who captured everyone’s attention. Instead, it was Musk’s four-year-old son, X Æ A-12, who stole the spotlight. The young boy, the son of Musk and Canadian musician Grimes, known as “X,” became the center of attention as he made a series of faces and interruptions while his father addressed the press.
As Musk, 53, responded to questions regarding the signing of an executive order aimed at cost-cutting measures by President Trump, 78, X’s playful behavior created a distraction. His antics at the event, which was held to discuss the government’s compliance with the Department of Government Efficiency, sparked widespread reactions. Many noted the tension in the room, with some even suggesting that Trump appeared less than pleased by the disruption.
While Musk’s 12 children from three different women are no strangers to public scrutiny, this particular instance at the White House raised eyebrows as X’s mischief took center stage at such an important moment.
The internet has found its latest obsession, and it’s not a political scandal—it’s Elon Musk’s four-year-old son, X Æ A-12, wreaking havoc in the White House.
During a high-profile press conference, the mischievous toddler stole the show by casually picking his nose and wiping his boogers on the legendary Resolute Desk. Naturally, social media exploded.
One X user summed it up perfectly: “Trump seethes as President Musk’s kid eats his boogers then paws his desk.” Another chimed in, “That is absolutely hilarious!”
The reactions kept rolling in:
🔹 “Elon’s kid is eating his boogers in front of Trump. I am witnessing this in real time.”
🔹 “There is no way that this kid is not annoying Trump.”
🔹 “OMG! The President of the United States just had a snot wiped off his desk by Elon’s son!”
🔹 “Elon’s kid wiping his boogers on the Resolute Desk is a sight I didn’t need to see today.”
While world leaders discussed policy, little X was making history in his own way—one booger at a time.
Another X user summed up the chaotic moment with a hilarious take: “Watching Elon’s kid dig for booger sugar and wipe it on Trump’s desk is the pinnacle of entertainment. This government is wonderful to me.”
Meanwhile, Grimes—real name Claire Boucher—has weighed in on the unexpected White House spectacle. Over the past few days, she took to social media to share her reaction, writing:
“He should not be in public like this. I was unaware of this; I’m grateful you brought it to my attention. On the other hand, I’m relieved that he was courteous. Let out a sigh.”
X, born in May 2020 to Musk and Grimes, has officially made his mark—quite literally—on the Oval Office.
After four years together, the couple officially parted ways in 2022, two years after the birth of their son, X. In addition to X, they share four children, including their son, Techno Mechanicus, now two years old, and their daughter, Exa Dark Siderael, who is three.
