Lil X outshines Elon Musk in Oval Office with nose-picking and climbing shoulders

WASHINGTON (TNND) — It was a big moment for a father and son on Tuesday in the Oval Office.

Elon Musk was answering questions from reporters for the first time and little X was there to steal the spotlight from his father.

As Musk explained the Department of Government Efficiency's goal, Lil X, took over the moment.

"What is the goal of DOGE? I think a significant part of the presidency is to restore democracy," Musk said as X began mimicking his father.

"Ok X," the Tesla billionaire told his son while laughing and apologizing to the room. "Gravitas can be difficult sometimes," said Musk.

The 4-year-old's antics didn't stop there.

Lil X turned heads when he picked his nose as he stood next to the commander-in-chief.

Musk's son even managed to whisper to President Donald Trump during the major policy announcement.

By the end, X appeared to be done listening to his Dad talk about his work.

He climbed onto Musk’s shoulders, which grew laughter from the reporters. Musk repeatedly got distracted as his son played with his father's ears. "Sorry for this," Musk said. "Otherwise, I might enjoy this, but as he's sticking his fingers in my ears," Musk added with a laugh.

The Internet went wild, with some people saying X stole the show.

"I love Lil X so much," wrote an X user.

"Elon Musk's mini me, so cute," another user wrote.

X's full name is X Æ A-Xii. He was born in 2020 and is the youngest son of Musk and Canadian musician Grimes. X has been seen with his father at public events, including at the Capitol when his father met with Republican lawmakers.
