Elon Musk’s Son Drops three Savage Words During White House Press Conference with Trump, Twitter users slammed hard
Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, interrupted his father during a White House press conference with Donald Trump, resulting in a heated outburst.
During a critical conference at the Oval Office, the four-year-old, known as X, caused a disruption by making faces, climbing over his father, and even wiping his bogies on the Resolute desk.
This came as the 53-year-old Tesla CEO and Trump, 78, answered a series of questions from reporters to witness the latter sign an executive order requiring federal agencies to cooperate with the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts to cut costs after facing pushback last week.
And, as if things couldn’t get worse following the whole bogey-situation, X appeared to shush someone off-camera before instructing them to ‘shut your mouth’.
X, who is just one of the three children Musk shares with ex-girlfriend Grimes, also also stuck his fingers in his father’s ears – an act which prompted to reporters to laugh.
“I thought my son might enjoy this, but it’s, he’s sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff,” Musk pointed out, before saying to the toddler: “So it’s been hard to hear sometimes.
“Hey! Stop that.”
While Musk was discussing DOGE’s aim to ‘restore democracy’, X also mimicked his father, prompting the father-of-12 to apologise to reporters: “I tell you gravitas can be difficult sometimes.”
Viewers have criticised DOGE CEO Elon Musk on social media for his ‘unprofessionalism’ throughout the incident.
One Twitter user slammed: “America is a joke. Bringing a child to work during conferences is unprofessional especially if the child speaking while you interviewed.”
Another added: “How unprofessional – with all the money Elon Musk has surely he can afford a baby sitter! How dare he bring his kid into the Oval Office in front of the world’s press – this is what we have come to.”
And a third commented: “I will actually donate some of my taxpayer dollars so that Elon Musk can get a damn babysitter. How unprofessional is this?”
Grimes, actual name Claire Boucher, has reacted to Musk’s decision to attend the news conference with their kid.
She took to Twitter to issue a statement on the matter, writing: “He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”
