Elon Musk Upstaged by Son in Trump’s Office: Nose-Picking Lil X Turns Heads in White House Debut
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur known for his ventures in Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, is no stranger to making headlines. However, during a recent visit to former President Donald Trump’s office, it was his 3-year-old son, X Æ A-12, who stole the spotlight in the most unexpected way.
Lil X’s White House Moment
Musk, who has maintained an unpredictable relationship with politics, was reportedly visiting Trump to discuss topics ranging from technology and artificial intelligence to potential economic policies. But while the world’s richest man was engaged in serious discussions, little X was busy being, well, a typical toddler.
Seated next to his father in Trump’s office, X Æ A-12—affectionately called “Lil X”—was caught on camera digging deep into his nose, completely unfazed by the high-profile meeting happening around him. The candid moment quickly spread across social media, with users dubbing it “the most relatable thing to ever happen in a political office.”
Social Media Reactions: “X Wins the Internet”
The internet wasted no time in reacting to the viral clip. Memes flooded Twitter and Reddit, with captions like “Elon Musk’s greatest creation yet” and “First SpaceX, now NoseX” taking center stage. Some users joked that X’s nose-picking was the “perfect metaphor for politics,” while others praised Musk for bringing his son along, making the meeting feel more human.
One viral tweet read:
“Lil X just doing what we all wish we could do in political meetings—zone out and do whatever we want.”
Elon Musk’s Reaction: Classic Musk
Musk himself responded to the incident with his trademark humor. When asked about his son’s unexpected moment, he tweeted:
“At least he wasn’t picking stock investments… or was he?”
The billionaire’s lighthearted approach only fueled more amusement online, proving that even one of the world’s most powerful men can’t escape the unpredictability of parenting.
Trump’s Response: A Laugh and a Handshake
According to sources present at the meeting, Trump reportedly found the situation amusing. He allegedly chuckled and said something along the lines of, “That kid’s got guts. I like him.” While Trump is no stranger to unexpected moments in his office, this one will likely go down as one of the more bizarre yet oddly wholesome incidents.
A Toddler in a World of Billionaires and Presidents
While X’s nose-picking moment may have stolen the headlines, it also highlights Musk’s approach to fatherhood. Unlike traditional high-profile figures who keep their children out of the spotlight, Musk has frequently brought Lil X along to major events, including Tesla meetings, SpaceX launches, and even tech conferences.
This latest incident, while hilarious, serves as another reminder that behind all the wealth, power, and innovation, Elon Musk is just another dad navigating life with a mischievous toddler.
And if one thing is clear—whether in a SpaceX lab, an F1 race, or the office of a former U.S. president—Lil X will always find a way to steal the show.
