The image of Elon Musk’s 5-year-old son playing in President Donald Trump’s office has attracted the attention of netizens. Many people think that the boy brings vitality to the Oval Office.
According to US media, Elon Musk brought his son X AE A-XII to meet President Donald Trump at the White House on February 11 (local time). On this occasion, the technology billionaire father and son had a series of remarkable moments in the Oval Office. Their cheerfulness and silliness contrasted with the serious face of the head of the United States.

X AE A-XII has many comfortable actions and gestures at Mr. Trump’s desk such as picking his nose, lying on the ground or climbing on his father’s shoulder…
The adults in the room seemed amused by the boy. While Elon grinned broadly, Trump was seen changing his expression from stoic to smiling and relaxed.
Photos of X AE A-XII also delighted netizens. They said the boy’s appearance eased the tension of the meeting between Mr. Trump and his close associates.
Viewers commented: “It’s great to see a breath of fresh air in the Oval Office”, “We haven’t seen a kid like Elon’s son in the Oval Office since John John Kennedy sat under his father’s big desk. So cute. His little boy is adorable”, “It’s great to see billionaires having fun together”, “That kid is better behaved and more mature than the adults screaming in the street”…
However, some say Elon Musk shouldn’t let his son attend adult meetings and the Oval Office is not a place for 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to play.

This is not the first time X AE A-XII has met the White House boss. Elon Musk once took X to the Trump family’s New Year’s Eve party at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, USA. At that time, the Tesla CEO was seen dancing to the music with his son on his shoulders.
X is Elon Musk’s son with singer Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher. The tech billionaire started dating Grimes in May 2018 and welcomed X two years later. Although they split in September 2021, the couple had another daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, nicknamed Y, via surrogacy three months later. They went on to have a third 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Techno Mechanicus, or “Tau,” around June 2022.
Currently, the relationship between Elon and Grimes is quite tense. The beauty 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1988 criticized her ex when he appeared at Mr. Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
They are also embroiled in a custody battle, with the Genesis singer claiming in November 2024 that he had not seen one of his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren for months.
In addition to the three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with Grimes, Elon Musk has eight other 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with different women. Most recently, there are 2-year-old twins, Strider and Azure, and a 1-year-old 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 of unknown gender and name with subordinate Shivon Zilis.
