While Elon Musk briefed people on a new executive order from the Oval Office, his 4-year-old son X Æ A-Xii – who goes by X – dug through his nose and offered Donald Trump some preschool wisdom.
Trying to decipher his words, the online community believes the child had some harsh words for POTUS that left him looking very annoyed.
Elon Musk may have been the one invited to the White House, but it was his four-year-old son, X, who became the unexpected star of the event.
During the high-profile press conference with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, Musk, 53, was busy discussing a new executive order aimed at cutting the federal workforce. But all eyes were on the Tesla mogul’s toddler, who made waves for his unapologetic toddler behavior.
‘High IQ’
Before discussions started, Trump introduced Musk’s tenacious child with high praise: “This is X, and he’s a great guy. High IQ. High-IQ individual,” he told guests in the office.
But X was too busy engaging in a classic kid pastime: going knuckles-deep in his nose. And he didn’t stop there.X took things to the next level by leaving his treasures on the legendary Resolute Desk – a piece of history that has hosted some of the most powerful leaders in the world.
Trump, who was seated at the desk while Musk explained the executive order, did not look pleased.
‘You’re not the president’
Then things got real. After digging for gold, X managed to have a brief exchange with the 47th POTUS, who appeared to be angered as he turned his head away from the kid, who has 11 siblings.
While the exact words Musk’s son whispered to Trump remain a mystery, that hasn’t stopped the internet from going wild with speculation. From Twitter to TikTok, users have been analyzing, debating, and meme-ing the moment, trying to piece together what might have been said.
“You’re not the president…you need to go away…I bet that little mini Musk will never be in the oval office again!” one user tweets.
Others suggest that X told Trump, “I want you to shush your mouth.”
‘X gives Trump the business’
Meanwhile, many netizens expressed they enjoyed watching the child hijack Musk’s press conference.
One tweets, “OK I’m all about ‘calling out corruption’ but Elon Musk’s Son wiping his BOOGERS on the oval office desk, Trump giving him the side eye, and the little boy tells Trump to ‘shut up’ it’s just too much for me what the hell is happening!”

“This may be the greatest video of all time to me!!! X gives Trump the business then wipes a booger on the desk,” shares another.
‘Not talking to Trump’
Some netizens, however, offered some logic to the conversations and attempted to put the rumors to rest.
“He wasn’t even looking at Trump, he was looking at the reporters. Not once did the kid look at Trump and tell him that,” suggests one cyber fan.
“Hilarious, but he’s clearly not talking to Trump. Karoline Leavitt was sitting in that eyeline,” offers another user, who’s referring to the White House press secretary, the youngest in history.
After, the little chaos causer started mocking his father’s movements until his dad lifted him up on his shoulders.
“Sorry for this,” Musk said with a laugh. “Otherwise, I might enjoy this, but as he’s sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff.”
One thing’s for sure – whether he was dropping preschool wisdom or just toddler gibberish, X has officially secured his spot in Oval Office viral history.
