A lighthearted moment unfolded in the Oval Office as tech billionaire Elon Musk’s four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, was caught on camera picking his nose during a formal event. The incident took place while former U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at continuing the downsizing of the federal workforce.
A short video clip, shared by the White House, showed Musk adjusting his son’s coat while standing beside Trump’s desk. The post, captioned “President Trump, @ElonMusk, and little X in the Oval Office,” quickly went viral. However, social media users were more amused by the young child’s unfiltered behavior, as X was seen casually picking his nose while his father addressed reporters.
Donald Trump, known for his spontaneous reactions, was seen briefly glancing at the child before shifting his focus back to the executive order signing. While he did not comment on the moment, social media users speculated on what he might have been thinking.
Elon Musk, who frequently brings his son to public appearances, appeared unfazed by the child’s antics. Just last month, X joined his father on stage at Trump’s pre-inauguration rally in Washington, D.C.
The viral clip has since sparked a mix of amusement and lighthearted commentary across social media, with many praising Musk for allowing his son to be part of major public events.
