Watch: Elon Musk’s Son Steals the Show at White House During Executive Order Signing

Four-Year-Old X Æ A-Xii Charms Reporters While Father and President Trump Address the Nation

Elon Musk’s youngest son, X Æ A-Xii, captured the hearts of many during a moment of levity at the White House on Tuesday, February 11, as he playfully roamed the Oval Office while his father and President Donald Trump addressed the press. The four-year-old, who has become a public figure in his own right, was seen smiling, climbing onto Musk’s shoulders, and mimicking his father’s movements, all while amusing the gathered reporters and guests.

The White House event was initially meant to focus on the signing of an executive order by President Trump, aimed at reshaping the federal workforce. However, it was Little X who stole the spotlight, lightening the mood in the room with his innocence and charm. As Trump and Musk answered questions, the young boy wandered around, showing off his playful side, making reporters laugh, and even striking an adorable pose perched on his father’s shoulders.

Trump Praises ‘Little X’ for His ‘High IQ’

The sight of X Æ A-Xii at such a significant political event did not go unnoticed on social media, where photos of the child grinning at reporters and having fun with his father went viral. President Trump took a moment to praise the young boy, calling him “a great guy” and commenting that he had a “high IQ.” Musk’s son certainly seemed unfazed by the seriousness of the occasion, offering a light-hearted contrast to the otherwise formal atmosphere.

Musk also took to social media to share his own moment of nostalgia, resharing a post comparing a photo of Little X with President Trump to the famous image of President John F. Kennedy with his son, John Jr. The comparison drew attention, adding to the playful atmosphere of the day’s event.

Executive Order Focuses on Efficiency in Government Workforce

While Little X was entertaining the room, the focus of the event remained on the executive order signed by President Trump. The order, which mandates federal agencies to cooperate with the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was part of Musk’s broader initiative to reduce the size of the federal workforce. As the leader of DOGE, Musk has strongly advocated for government efficiency, and the order limits federal hiring and spending, except in areas such as immigration, law enforcement, and public safety.

During the signing, Musk remarked that federal employees represented an “unelected” fourth branch of government and stressed the importance of holding them accountable. This was Musk’s first public appearance since taking charge of DOGE, a department that he and his team have largely operated behind the scenes.

A Rare Public Appearance for Musk and Trump

The event also marked a rare public appearance by Musk alongside President Trump, who has turned to the tech mogul for advice on various policy matters, particularly regarding government efficiency. As Trump signed the order, Musk’s presence highlighted the growing influence of the tech industry on policy-making, with Musk’s leadership of DOGE expected to reshape federal operations in the years to come.

While the serious policy implications of the order were being discussed, Little X continued to be the center of attention, proving that sometimes, a child’s joy and innocence can brighten even the most serious of moments.
