Four-year-old charms Trump during dad Musk’s meeting
Listen To Story Above
During a notable Oval Office news conference with President Donald Trump, tech mogul Elon Musk’s 4-year-old son captured everyone’s attention with his endearing presence.
The occasion marked Musk’s appointment as a “special government employee” to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. The meeting centered around Trump signing an executive order aimed at reforming federal bureaucracy.
The executive order declared, “To restore accountability to the American public, this order commences a critical transformation of the Federal bureaucracy. By eliminating waste, bloat, and insularity, my Administration will empower American families, workers, taxpayers, and our system of Government itself.”
Elon Musk’s son stole the show in the Oval Office today. I love the pro-child message this sends.

The entrepreneur, who parents 12 children across three relationships, brought his young son X to witness the occasion. The atmosphere lightened when Trump warmly acknowledged the child’s presence. “This is X, and he’s a great guy — high IQ,” the president remarked. “He’s a high-IQ individual.”
The moment visibly delighted Musk, who smiled proudly while adjusting his son’s formal attire. Throughout the conference, the young boy provided unscripted entertainment, engaging in typical childhood behavior like nose-picking and sharing whispered exchanges with Trump during his father’s press interactions.
The scene resonated strongly across social media platforms. One observer commented, “This is the America we love to see — brilliant minds, bold leadership, and family at the heart of it all. No staged photo ops, no scripted nonsense — just real moments with real people.”

Many drew parallels between this occurrence and the memorable 1962 photograph of John F. Kennedy Jr. playing beneath his father’s Oval Office desk. The genuine display of fatherly affection from Musk, despite his status as the planet’s wealthiest individual, struck a chord with many observers. This paternal pride mirrored Trump’s own evident joy when discussing his youngest son, Barron, who is now 18.
This wholesome father-son dynamic stood in stark contrast to the complicated relationship between Joe Biden and his son Hunter, whose personal struggles have cast shadows over both family and national reputation.
The presence of these influential fathers – Trump, Musk, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth – sparked discussions about their potential role in steering America away from international conflicts and toward domestic reconstruction.
