President Trump and Elon Musk’s meeting at the Oval Office Tuesday to discuss government streamlining was unexpectedly upstaged by Musk’s young son, X Æ A-Xii, nicknamed “Lil X.”
The four-year-old’s presence was immediately acknowledged by President Trump, who called him a “high-IQ individual.”
Throughout the meeting, Lil X, perched on his father’s shoulders, playfully interacted with Musk, even sticking his fingers in his ears. Musk, while slightly distracted, laughed off the interruption.
The boy, whose mother is musician Grimes, mirrored his father’s gestures and made faces, capturing the attention of the assembled press.
Lil X has been seen publicly with his father before, including on election night with the Trump family.
A video released by the White House showed Lil X, wearing a brown coat and a chain, leaning against the Resolute Desk, reminiscent of a famous photo of John F. Kennedy Jr. playing under the same desk years ago.
