Elon Musk stirs debate by bringing son to White House event
Elon Musk has once again sparked controversy by taking his four-year-old son to a press conference at the White House. The boy's mother, Grimes, was not aware of the situation. "He should not be exposed to the public in such a way," she stated.
During a recent press conference at the White House, organised by Donald Trump, Elon Musk attracted media attention. The world's richest man appeared at the meeting with journalists accompanied by his four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii. With his charm and playful antics, little X effectively diverted attention from the serious topics discussed by his father. Despite this, Musk faced criticism for exposing the child to the public.
Elon Musk's son stole the show at the meeting with Donald Trump. Will X Æ A-Xii follow in his father's footsteps?
Grimes unaware of the situation
Grimes, who has three children with Musk, spoke on the matter. The billionaire's former partner expressed her dissatisfaction with the entire situation. On the portal X, the Canadian artist admitted that she had no knowledge of her son's visit to the White House.
He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I'm glad he was polite. Sigh - wrote Grimes.
This is not the first time Grimes has commented on Musk's actions. After Donald Trump's inauguration, where Musk made gestures that sparked controversy, the singer was asked for her opinion.
It's absurd that someone can be cancelled for something their ex did before they even knew about it. I am not him. I will not make a statement every time he does something - Grimes stated.
Reactions from internet users
Internet users quickly reacted to the situation at the White House. One user on the portal X praised the four-year-old for his behaviour, writing:
Lil X was very polite today! You raised him well. He was so cute when he told DJT "please forgive me, I need to pee"
Grimes responded that while she appreciates her son's resourcefulness, she was not pleased with his public appearance. She also emphasised that she does not intend to comment on every action of Musk publicly.
Her only response to the world's suffering is to send love in return. She clarified that while she could seek media attention, make bold statements, land on magazine covers, and be hailed as a feminist icon, it would ultimately be futile. Instead, she prioritizes her children's well-being, she concluded.
Do you understand her frustration?
