Elon Musk's Son Lil X Steals the Show at Oval Office Press Conference

2025-03-01

Elon Musk brought his 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, to the Oval Office on February 11, 2025, during a press conference where President Donald Trump signed an executive order granting the Department of Government Efficiency more power. The child, who goes by the nickname “Lil X,” was seen making faces, mimicking his father, and even whispering to Trump during the event. Musk, dressed casually in black attire, defended the executive order, which aimed to streamline federal agencies and reduce costs.

Grimes, Musk’s former partner and the mother of their three children, expressed frustration upon learning about her son’s public appearance. She took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice her concerns, stating, “He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.” Grimes emphasized her desire to keep their children out of the public eye, a stance she has maintained since her split from Musk in 2022.

The incident sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising Lil X’s politeness and charm, while others questioned the appropriateness of bringing a young child into such a high-profile political setting. This is not the first time Musk has included his son in public events; Lil X previously appeared at a pre-inauguration rally in January 2025, where he was seen jumping on stage in a red sweater.

Musk and Grimes share three children: X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl (nicknamed Y), and Techno Mechanicus (nicknamed Tau). While Musk has been vocal about his political ambitions and public appearances, Grimes has consistently advocated for their children’s privacy, often distancing herself from Musk’s controversial actions.
