Musk's son steals the show during tense Oval Office meeting
Elon Musk's son caused quite a stir during a meeting in the Oval Office with Donald Trump. The 4-year-old mimicked his father by putting his fingers in his ears. At one point, his father appeared irritated.
Billionaire Elon Musk was in the Oval Office at the White House to discuss the actions of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Donald Trump. The Tesla CEO was accompanied by his 4-year-old son, whom he calls "Lil X".
- This is X and he's a great guy. High IQ. He's a high IQ individual - Donald Trump told journalists at the beginning of the meeting.
The child consistently drew attention from reporters, particularly when Musk lifted him onto his shoulders. The 4-year-old engaged in playful antics like playing with his ears. - I apologize for that - the billionaire said. - I thought my son might enjoy this, but it's, he's sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff - he remarked. - So it's been hard to hear sometimes. Hey! Stop that - he laughed.
The boy, whose full name is X Æ A-Xii, also made faces and copied his father's gestures.
Born in 2020, "Lil X" is the youngest son of Elon Musk and Canadian artist Grimes. The billionaire has been appearing with him in public more frequently.
Musk has become one of Donald Trump's closest allies. He also leads a committee called the Department of Government Efficiency, which aims to cut expenses. Musk believes that if the deficit isn't reduced, the United States risks bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Trump announced that there will be no cuts in areas such as the military and pensions. According to experts, without reforms in these areas, achieving actual spending reductions is challenging, especially since Trump announced tax cuts.
