Did Elon Musk’s 4-year-old just call out Trump? People think so

Elon Musk may have been invited to the White House to discuss a new executive order, but it was his four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii—who goes by X—who became the unexpected star of the event.

During a press conference with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, Musk, 53, focused on explaining a policy aimed at reducing the federal workforce. However, all eyes were on little X, who entertained the room with his unfiltered toddler behavior—including a very public nose-picking session and a cryptic remark that left Trump visibly annoyed.

‘High IQ’ moment—followed by preschool mischief

Before the discussions began, Trump introduced Musk’s son with glowing praise:

“This is X, and he’s a great guy. High IQ. High-IQ individual,” the 47th president said.

But instead of basking in the compliment, X was busy with a classic childhood pastime—digging through his nose. His next move was even more surprising: he wiped his discovery on the legendary Resolute Desk, a piece of furniture used by U.S. presidents for over a century.

Trump, seated at the desk while Musk spoke, did not look amused.

‘You’re not the president’—or was he talking to someone else?

The most talked-about moment, however, came when X appeared to whisper something to Trump, causing the former president to turn his head away, looking noticeably irritated.

The internet wasted no time dissecting the interaction. Social media users across platforms like Twitter and TikTok speculated on what the child might have said.

One popular theory? X told Trump:

“You’re not the president… you need to go away.”

Another widely shared guess suggested the toddler told Trump:

“I want you to shush your mouth.”

Internet reacts: ‘X gives Trump the business’

Social media exploded with reactions to X’s unfiltered behavior. Many users found the incident hilarious, with one tweeting:

“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 then the little boy telling Trump to ‘shut up’… it’s just too much for me. What the hell is happening?”

Another tweet read:

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

Others, however, were skeptical of the internet’s interpretation. Some pointed out that X didn’t seem to be looking at Trump when he spoke.

“He wasn’t even looking at Trump; he was looking at the reporters. Not once did the kid look at Trump and tell him that,” one user suggested.

“Hilarious, but he’s clearly not talking to Trump. Karoline Leavitt was sitting in that eyeline,” added another, referring to the White House press secretary.

Musk reacts: ‘Sorry for this’

As X continued his playful antics—at one point mimicking his father’s gestures—Musk finally scooped him up onto his shoulders, laughing at the situation.

“Sorry for this,” the billionaire said. “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 preschool wisdom or simply babbling, he has officially secured his place in Oval Office viral history.
