Donald Trump’s Reaction to Elon Musk’s Son’s White House Antics Sparks Online Frenzy
Social media is ablaze after what appears to be Donald Trump’s intense reaction to an unexpected moment involving Elon Musk’s young son, X Æ A-12, during a recent visit to the White House.
Musk’s four-year-old son, commonly known as X, unintentionally became the center of attention at a press conference on Tuesday, February 11. The Tesla CEO was alongside Trump for the signing of a new executive order aimed at cutting government costs by requiring federal agencies to work closely with the Department of Government Efficiency—an initiative that has stirred controversy in recent weeks.
As Musk fielded questions from reporters, little X stole the spotlight with his playful expressions and occasional interruptions. However, one particular moment sent the internet into a frenzy.
During the event, X was caught casually picking his nose—only to nonchalantly wipe his fingers on the historic Resolute Desk.
Social Media Erupts
The viral moment quickly took over social platforms, with users reacting in disbelief and amusement.
“Trump looks absolutely furious while Musk’s kid just wipes a booger on the desk,” one person posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Another quipped, “This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day!”
A third chimed in, “Elon’s son is casually snacking on his boogers right in front of Trump. I can’t stop laughing!”
A fourth user joked, “I’m watching Musk’s kid pick his nose, eat it, and then smear it on the Resolute Desk. There’s no way Trump isn’t losing his mind right now.”
“OMG! Did Elon’s son just wipe a booger on the President’s desk?!” another exclaimed.
The Aftermath
Following the viral incident, X’s mother responded on social media, expressing her dismay. “He shouldn’t be acting like this in public. I didn’t see it happen, but thanks for letting me know. At least he was polite… sigh.”
While the moment may have been fleeting, it certainly left a lasting impact—both online and, perhaps, on Trump himself.
