In a captivating scene at the White House, President Donald Trump and SpaceX founder Elon Musk were joined by an unexpected guest – Musk’s young son, X Æ A-Xii, affectionately known as X. This conference in the Oval Office quickly turned interesting thanks to the antics of the lively 4-year-old.
Before the formal proceedings began, President Trump introduced little X to the attendees, praising him as a “great guy” and mentioning his “high IQ.” Like any child his age, X appeared more engrossed in his own world, partaking in some innocent nose-picking instead of focusing on the event.
The spotlight turned to X when a viral clip suggested he had told Trump, “You’re not the President and you need to go away,” according to a post by @RightWingCope. The video clip spread rapidly across social media, sparking a mix of hilarity and debate among viewers.
Did X Really Tell Trump to “Shut Your Mouth”?
In additional footage, X is heard whispering something that many interpret as “I want you to shut your mouth” aimed at Trump. However, the toddler’s words are muffled and hard to discern, largely owing to Musk speaking simultaneously, making any exact transcription guesswork at best.
Regardless of what was said, Trump seemed less than amused, turning his gaze away in a moment that spurred a wave of online banter and creative memes.
One Twitter user captured the mood, humorously expressing disbelief: “OK, I’m all about calling out corruption, but Elon Musk’s son wiping his boogers on the Oval Office desk, Trump giving the side eye, and the little boy telling Trump to ‘shut up’ – it’s just too much for me! What’s even happening?”
Another commenter added to the fun: “This might be the best video I’ve ever seen! X calls out Trump then casually wipes a booger on his desk.”
Yet others were quick to defend little X, suggesting that his words might not have been directed at the President at all. “He wasn’t even looking at Trump,” someone observed. “He was eyeing the reporters! Not once did the kid face Trump to speak directly to him,” assured another user.
Amid all the speculation, X was also seen imitating his father. As a humorous reprieve, Musk hoisted his son onto his shoulders, with an amused apology, stating, “Sorry for this. I might enjoy this if he weren’t sticking fingers in my ears and such.”
With the young companion providing unexpected comic relief, the conference primarily focused on Elon Musk’s announcement regarding a new executive order targeting the reduction of the federal workforce.
These light-hearted moments with X Æ A-Xii certainly gave an otherwise standard press meeting a brilliant touch of humor and unpredictability that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
