Musk's 'Lil X' joins Oval Office antics with Trump
Elon Musk's son caused quite a stir during a meeting in the Oval Office with Donald Trump. The 4-year-old mimicked his father by putting his fingers in his ears, which at one point irritated his father.
Billionaire Elon Musk appeared in the Oval Office at the White House to defend the actions of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Donald Trump. The Tesla CEO was there with his 4-year-old son, whom he calls "Lil X".
- This is X and he's a great guy. High IQ. He's a high IQ individual - Donald Trump told journalists at the beginning of the meeting.
The child repeatedly attracted the attention of reporters, for example, when Musk lifted him onto his shoulders. The 4-year-old played with his ears, among other things. - I apologise for that - the billionaire said. - I thought my son might enjoy this, but it's, he's sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff - he remarked. - So it's been hard to hear sometimes. Hey! Stop that - he laughed.
The boy, whose full name is X Æ A-Xii, also pulled faces and mimicked his father's gestures.
Born in 2020, "Lil X" is the youngest son of Elon Musk and Canadian artist Grimes. The billionaire is increasingly appearing with him in public.
Musk has become one of Donald Trump's closest allies. He also took the lead of a committee called the Department of Government Efficiency, which is aimed at cutting expenses. Musk believes that if the deficit is not reduced, the United States faces bankruptcy. At the same time, Trump announced that there will be no cuts in areas such as the military and pensions. According to experts, without reforms in these areas, it is difficult to talk about actual spending reductions, especially since Trump announced tax cuts.
