A four-year-old boy suddenly stole the spotlight at a high-profile press conference with US President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. On February 11, 2025, Musk was at the event with his son, X Æ A-Xii—whom he refers to as X—when he was speaking about a new executive order regarding his position as head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
In the course of the briefing, X grabbed the attention of social media as it seemed viewers overheard him confronting Trump with some words like, “You’re not the president… you need to go away,” or “I want you to shush your mouth.” All such interpretations immediately created ripples in social media by causing heated debate and garnering millions of hits.
