People have been left feeling uneasy after watching Elon Musk’s four-year-old son make what some are calling “disturbing” remarks to former President Donald Trump.
Musk’s most recent high-profile visit to the White House took an unexpected turn when he brought his son, X Æ A-Xii, to a press conference in the Oval Office.
What was meant to be a formal event quickly turned into an internet sensation as the child’s candid behavior left many viewers both amused and horrified.
Unexpected Comments at the White House
During the event—where Trump signed an executive order granting expanded powers to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—the toddler, affectionately known as ‘Lil X,’ clung to his father and made playful faces.
However, it was his surprising comments that truly captured public attention.
While some found the interaction humorous, others were unsettled by the idea of Musk bringing his young child into such a politically charged environment.
One user on X wrote: “Why is Musk exposing his child to this circus? This is NOT normal parenting.”
Another added: “A child should not be in the Oval Office making these kinds of comments. What is Elon thinking?”
“Wait, this is scary,” a third person commented.
Another simply wrote: “Chilling.”
Backlash Over Privacy Concerns
The controversy didn’t stop there, as many expressed concern over X Æ A-Xii’s privacy and whether it was appropriate for him to be in such a public and political setting.
One user commented: “This is not OK. That poor child is going to grow up under so much scrutiny.”
Agreeing, another added: “It’s disturbing. What kind of childhood is this kid going to have?”
X Æ A-Xii’s mother, Grimes, seemed completely unaware of her son’s unexpected public appearance.
The Genesis singer took to social media after a user brought the incident to her attention, making it clear she wasn’t pleased.
“He should not be in public like this,” she wrote. “I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”
Viral Oval Office Moment
One particular moment from the Oval Office visit has since gone viral on social media.
As Musk was answering a question about his controversial policies, his son suddenly turned to Trump and said: “Please forgive me, I need to pee.”
If that wasn’t enough, he also appeared to chastise the former president, telling him to stop talking and even suggesting that he “go away.”
While the moment amused some, others saw it as yet another bizarre chapter in Musk’s increasingly unpredictable public life.
