People are convinced they’ve witnessed Donald Trump’s intense reaction to Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, and his antics during their recent White House visit.
The Tesla CEO’s four-year-old son, who is commonly referred to as X, stole the spotlight during Tuesday’s press conference (February 11) with Trump.
Musk, 53, had visited the White House to document the 78-year-old Republican leader signing an executive order that mandates federal agencies to collaborate with the Department of Government Efficiency in reducing expenses—a measure that faced resistance last week.
While Musk fielded questions from the press, his son X became quite the center of attention, pulling a series of amusing faces and occasionally interrupting his father.
One particular moment, however, grabbed significant attention.
At one point during the press conference, young X was caught picking his nose before wiping his fingers on the historic Resolute Desk.
A user on X (formerly Twitter) reacted: “Trump looks furious as President Musk’s kid eats his boogers and then wipes them on the desk.”
“That’s absolutely hilarious!” another user chimed in.
A third remarked: “Elon’s child is casually feasting on his boogers right in front of Trump.”
“I’m watching Elon Musk’s son pick his nose, eat his boogers, and smear them on the Resolute Desk. There’s no way Trump isn’t fuming right now,” a fourth person wrote.
A fifth exclaimed: “OMG! Elon’s son just wiped a booger on the President’s desk!”
Following the viral incident, his mother took to social media to address the situation, writing: “He should not be acting like this in public. I didn’t see this, but thank you for alerting me. At least he was polite… sigh.”
