Social media is buzzing over what appears to be Donald Trump’s intense reaction to Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, and his unexpected antics during a recent White House visit.
Musk’s four-year-old son, commonly known as X, stole the show at a press conference on Tuesday (February 11), where the Tesla CEO joined Trump for the signing of a new executive order. The order, aimed at reducing government expenses by mandating federal agencies to collaborate with the Department of Government Efficiency, has faced opposition in recent weeks.
As Musk answered questions from reporters, little X became an unintentional star of the event, pulling playful faces and occasionally interrupting his father. But one particular moment truly grabbed the internet’s attention.
At one point, X was caught picking his nose—then casually wiping his fingers on the historic Resolute Desk.
Social media reactions poured in almost instantly.
“Trump looks furious as President Musk’s kid eats his boogers and then wipes them on the desk,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) posted.
Another chimed in, “That’s absolutely hilarious!”
“Elon’s child is casually feasting on his boogers right in front of Trump,” a third person remarked.
A fourth joked, “I’m watching Elon Musk’s son pick his nose, eat his boogers, and smear them on the Resolute Desk. There’s no way Trump isn’t fuming right now.”
Following the viral moment, the child’s mother addressed the incident on social media, writing, “He should not be acting like this in public. I didn’t see this, but thank you for alerting me. At least he was polite… sigh.”
The incident may have been brief, but it certainly left a lasting impression—both on the internet and possibly on Trump himself.
