Elon Musk may have been the guest of honor at the White House, but it was his four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii—better known as X—who stole the show in the most unexpected way.

During a high-profile press conference in the Oval Office, Musk was deep in discussion with President Donald Trump about a new executive order aimed at cutting the federal workforce. Meanwhile, his toddler was engaged in a completely different kind of business—one that had nothing to do with politics.

“High IQ” and High Entertainment
Before diving into policy, Trump introduced Musk’s son with a glowing endorsement.

“This is X, and he’s a great guy. High IQ. High-IQ individual,” he said, gesturing toward the child.

But instead of soaking in the presidential praise, X was preoccupied with something far more interesting—his nose. Completely unfazed by the cameras and officials around him, he dug deep, seemingly on a mission.

Then, in a move that left onlookers both horrified and amused, he casually wiped his findings onto the Resolute Desk, the very same desk that has served presidents for generations.

Trump, seated at the historic desk while Musk spoke, glanced over—and his expression said it all. He was not pleased.

A Mystery Exchange With Trump?
Things took another unexpected turn when X, fresh off his nose-picking adventure, turned to Trump and appeared to whisper something.

Whatever he said, it was enough to make Trump shift uncomfortably and turn his head away. The internet immediately went wild with speculation.

The Internet Reacts
Social media erupted as users tried to decode the toddler’s words. Some insisted that X had delivered a devastating preschool-level takedown of the former president.

“You’re not the president… you need to go away… I bet little mini Musk will never be in the Oval Office again!” one user tweeted.

Another theory? That the child had simply told Trump to “shush.”

One viral tweet summed it up:

“OK, I’m all about ‘calling out corruption,’ but Elon Musk’s son wiping his BOOGERS on the Oval Office desk, Trump giving him the side eye, and the little boy telling him to ‘shut up’—this is too much for me. What the hell is happening?”

Another added, “This may be the greatest video of all time. X gives Trump the business, then wipes a booger on the desk.”

Did X Even Talk to Trump?
Of course, not everyone was convinced that X’s words were directed at Trump at all.

“He wasn’t even looking at Trump,” one user pointed out. “He was facing the reporters.”

Another noted, “Hilarious, but he’s clearly not talking to Trump. Karoline Leavitt was sitting in that eyeline.” (Leavitt, the youngest White House press secretary in history, was present at the event.)

Chaos and Comedy
As if the spectacle wasn’t enough, X soon turned his attention to mimicking his father’s movements, playfully mocking Musk as he spoke. Eventually, Musk scooped him up onto his shoulders in an attempt to keep him contained.

“Sorry for this,” Musk said with a laugh. “Otherwise, I might enjoy this, but as he’s sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff…”

One thing is certain—whether X was delivering some preschool wisdom or just engaging in pure toddler gibberish, he has officially cemented his place in Oval Office viral history.

So, what do you think? Was X really throwing shade at Trump, or was he just being a typical four-year-old? Share your thoughts and pass this story along—we want to hear what others think!
