Elon Musk’s 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii (aka “Lil X”), stole the spotlight at a high-stakes Oval Office press conference with Donald Trump. Here’s the quirky, chaotic, and unapologetically weird breakdown for your inner pop-culture detective!
1. The Resolute Desk Got a “Booger Update”
While Musk and Trump debated government efficiency, X decided the historic Resolute Desk (gifted by Queen Victoria in 1880) needed a modern touch. Viral clips show him picking his nose and wiping it on the desk, prompting Twitter to dub the moment #BoogerGate
Fun Fact: The desk has survived wars, treaties, and now… toddler snot.
2. X’s Secret Talent: Presidential Mimicry
Mid-policy talk, X started mirroring Musk’s gestures like a tiny clone—complete with dramatic hand waves. Trump, unfazed, called him a “high-IQ individual” (despite X later interrupting with, “Mr. President, I need to pee!”)
Bonus: Musk later shared a side-by-side photo of X and JFK Jr. under the same desk, captioning it: “History repeats… cuter”
3. Grimes Was Not Impressed
X’s mom, musician Grimes, fired off a tweetstorm after seeing the viral chaos:
“He should not be in public like this. Sigh. But glad he was polite.”
Fans roasted Musk for turning the Oval Office into a dad daycare while Grimes facepalmed from afar
4. Musk’s Pronatalism Flex
Musk, a self-proclaimed pronatalist (he wants to repopulate Earth with “exceptional” kids), brought X as a living prop for his ideology. Critics called it a nod to eugenics-lite rhetoric, given Trump’s praise of X’s “high IQ”
FYI: Musk has 12 kids—X is the first with Grimes and the only one regularly paraded at political events
5. The Kennedy Parallel That Broke the Internet
X’s Oval Office antics drew comparisons to JFK Jr. peeking from under the same desk in 1963. Musk leaned into it, reposting fan edits with heart-eyes emojis. Historians, however, side-eyed the stunt as a calculated nostalgia play
BONUS DRAMA:
Sibling Rivalry: Musk’s daughter Vivian (who cut ties with him after transitioning) once begged him not to post her pics online. X? He’s the golden child of Musk’s social media
Future Dictator? Musk joked X could “run Mars someday.” Given his dad’s ego, we’re half-convinced
Why This Matters 🤷♂️
X’s antics aren’t just cute—they’re a PR masterclass. Musk blends family chaos with political theater, making Trump’s austerity talks feel… relatable? Or at least meme-worthy.
