Donald Trump recently enjoyed a heartwarming moment with Elon Musk’s energetic four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, as they boarded Marine Force One together on Friday.
The lively preschooler walked alongside the former president across the White House’s South Lawn, with Trump lending a helping hand up the aircraft stairs.
Accompanying them was X’s father, Elon Musk, who now advises President Trump as a senior official while spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency.
The trio departed for Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump plans to relax at his Mar-a-Lago estate over the weekend.
Meanwhile, as Marine Force One took flight, a thrilling space mission unfolded. On Friday night, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket roared into the sky from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, launching four astronauts toward the International Space Station (ISS).
This long-awaited mission aims to rescue astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, stranded in orbit for nine months.
