People are convinced they’ve caught Donald Trump’s seething reaction to the behavior of Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, during their recent visit to the White House.
The Tesla CEO’s four-year-old son, whom he shares with Canadian singer Grimes and is commonly called X, became the unexpected center of attention at Tuesday’s (February 11) press conference with Trump.
Musk, 53, was at the White House to witness the 78-year-old Republican leader sign an executive order aimed at streamlining government spending. The order requires federal agencies to collaborate with the Department of Government Efficiency in an effort to cut costs, following pushback last week.
As Musk—who has fathered 12 children with three different women—fielded questions from the press, his son X stole the spotlight with his playful antics, making faces and repeatedly interrupting his father.
But one particular moment has completely taken over the internet.
During the press conference, the toddler was caught casually picking his nose and wiping his boogers on the Resolute Desk, sparking a flood of reactions on social media.
One X user quipped: “Trump seethes as President Musk’s kid eats his boogers then paws his desk.”
“That’s hilarious!” a second person quipped.
A third joined in: “Elon’s kid is feasting on his boogers in front of Trump.”
“I’m literally watching Elon Musk’s son pick his nose, eat boogers, and smear them on the Resolute Desk. There’s no way this kid isn’t annoying Trump,” a fourth remarked.
A fifth reacted with: “OMG! Elon’s son just wiped a booger on the desk of the President of the United States!”
Another added: “Elon’s kid wiping his boogers on the Resolute Desk is something I really could’ve gone my whole life without seeing.”
One X user chimed in, saying: “Watching Elon’s dig for booger sugar and wipe it on Trump’s desk is peak entertainment. I love this administration.”
Meanwhile, Grimes—whose real name is Claire Boucher—has publicly criticized Musk for bringing their son, X, to the Oval Office.
She addressed the situation on social media, stating: “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.”
Musk and Grimes welcomed X into the world in May 2020.

The couple dated for four years before officially calling it quits in 2022, two years after their son’s birth.
In addition to X, they share two other children: Techno Mechanicus, who is two, and their three-year-old daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl.
