During a high-profile Oval Office meeting, President Donald Trump and Elon Musk
took center stage, but Musk’s four-year-old son, “Lil X,” stole the spotlight.
As Trump spoke, he paused, pointed at the child, and said, “This is X, and he’s
a great guy—high IQ,” sparking laughter in the room. Despite the serious discussion,
Musk was frequently distracted by Lil X, who sat on his shoulders and played with his ears.
Laughing, Musk quipped, “If he weren’t sticking his fingers in my ears, I might like this.”
Born in 2020 to Musk and musician Grimes, Lil X has made several public appearances.
A White House video later showed him leaning against the Resolute Desk,
reminiscent of John F. Kennedy Jr.’s famous 1962 photo
