During a recent press conference in the Oval Office, Elon Musk’s Son, X, who is four-year-old, made headlines with his candid remarks. While perched on his father’s shoulders, young X appeared to address President Donald Trump directly, with some interpreting his words as, “You’re not the president; you need to go away.” Although the audio was unclear, speculation quickly spread like wildfire.
Social media erupted with theories, with some users jokingly suggesting that X had just become the youngest political commentator in history. Others pointed out that children often say the darndest things, especially when placed in high-stakes political environments. Regardless of intent, the incident set the internet ablaze with memes, debates, and more than a few conspiracy theories about whether Musk had secretly programmed his son to deliver the ultimate mic drop.
Elon Musk’s Son, X: A Profanity-Laced Surprise
As if that weren’t enough, Elon Musk’s Son, X, took his improvisational skills to new heights when he allegedly motioned off-camera in the direction of the president’s seat and said, “I want you to shut your f**ing mouth up.”* Musk, visibly caught off guard, quickly apologized to the press, chuckling as he quipped, “I tell you, gravitas can be difficult sometimes.”
The situation was first brought to light by the X account @TizzyEnt and has since gone viral across multiple social media platforms. While some believed the remark was directed at Trump, others suggested it could have been meant for an unknown individual in the room—perhaps a Secret Service agent, a White House staffer, or even a particularly loud journalist. The ambiguity only fueled further speculation, making X’s unscripted outburst one of the most talked-about moments of the event.
The Resolute Desk Gets a Toddler-Sized Makeover
If Elon Musk’s Son, X, hadn’t already cemented himself as the unexpected star of the press conference, he sealed the deal when he was seen picking his nose and wiping it directly onto the historic Resolute Desk. The moment, captured by eagle-eyed reporters, instantly became meme material.
One Twitter user remarked, “Elon Musk’s son just left his mark on the Oval Office—literally. Future historians will have to analyze this moment.” Another joked, “Some presidents sign executive orders on that desk. X prefers a more personal touch.”
Despite the comedic relief, White House staffers were less amused, reportedly scrambling to clean up the mess before any official documentation of the incident could surface.
Challenges of Parenting at the Podium: Elon Musk’s Son, X
Parenting is never easy, and Elon Musk learned that lesson in real-time when Elon Musk’s Son, X, decided to take a more hands-on approach—by repeatedly sticking his fingers in his father’s ears during the press conference.
Musk, clearly distracted, attempted to continue his speech on governmental efficiency but frequently paused to address the interruptions. “I thought my son might enjoy this, but he’s, uh, sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff. So, it’s been hard to hear sometimes. Hey! Stop that.”
The interaction provided another viral moment, with commentators humorously likening it to democracy itself—messy, unpredictable, and occasionally filled with unexpected obstacles.
Musk’s Verbal Gymnastics on Government Efficiency (DOGE)
Amid the toddler-led chaos, Musk still attempted to deliver a speech on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a project aimed at streamlining bureaucracy. Unfortunately, his remarks turned into a confusing spiral of techno-jargon and half-formed thoughts.
At one point, he attempted to define DOGE’s purpose, stating, “What is the goal of DOGE? And I think a significant part of the presidency is to restore democracy. This may say seem like, well, obvious democracy. Well, if you don’t have a feedback, we’d have to if you sorry Um, so If there’s not a good feedback loop from the people to to the government…”
Listeners were left wondering if Musk had momentarily been hacked by ChatGPT mid-sentence. His speech, a bizarre mix of bureaucratic buzzwords and incoherent rambling, did little to clarify DOGE’s mission.
One commentator summed it up best: “If democracy needs saving, DOGE might just be the knight that gallops in the wrong direction.” Meanwhile, X’s antics ensured that whatever policy Musk was trying to push took a backseat to the sheer unpredictability of having a toddler in the room.
A Press Conference for the History Books
In the end, Musk’s policy discussion was overshadowed by his son’s unfiltered moments. From calling out Trump (or someone else) to nose-picking on historic furniture, X Æ A-Xii delivered a press conference performance that even seasoned politicians would struggle to match.
While some may debate the merits of Musk’s DOGE initiative, one thing is certain: no one will soon forget the day that a four-year-old upstaged a billionaire tech mogul and a former president in the White House.
