BBC reported that appearing in the Oval Office at the White House on February 11, Lil X, the 4-year-old son of billionaire Elon Musk, attracted the attention of the media, becoming the center of attention more than his father and President Donald Trump during the press conference about the executive order to streamline the US government.
"This is X, a wonderful, incredibly smart boy," Mr. Trump began his speech with a smile, calling the 4-year-old "a high IQ guy."
While defending his DOGE initiative, billionaire Elon Musk was also distracted by Lil X several times, especially the moment he held his son on his shoulder and the boy played with his father's ears.
“Sorry for the interruption,” Musk said, laughing. “I would have enjoyed the teasing, but he kept poking my ear.”
The White House later shared video of the Oval Office press conference, which shows Lil X standing next to his father and President Donald Trump in a brown suit.
The boy also made faces and mimicked his father’s gestures as Mr. Musk spoke. At one point, X leaned against the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.
Lil X's real name is X Æ A-Xii, the youngest son of Elon Musk's 12 children.
