'Barron knew': Resurfaced video amid feud sparks theory Trump's son was 'never a fan' of Elon Musk

WASHINGTON, DC: A resurfaced video recorded months before Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s explosive fallout is now making waves online.

The clip features Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, in what some viewers believe is a subtle dig at Musk, hinting the tech billionaire might not be trustworthy.

The video has gained renewed attention as tensions between Trump and Musk boil over following the latter’s departure from Trump’s administration.

The feud escalated over a GOP-backed bill that Trump claimed was unfavorable to Tesla, prompting Musk to claim he was the reason Trump secured a second term. Musk later took things further, alleging Trump’s name appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files, casting Barron’s earlier interaction with Musk in a whole new light.

Barron Trump's stoic reaction next to Elon Musk resurfaces amid Trump-Musk feud

According to Nicki Swift, a 12-second video clip has resurfaced online following the explosive fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk and it's reigniting speculation about the dynamic between the tech mogul and Trump’s youngest son, Barron.

The footage, taken during Trump’s presidential inauguration, shows attendees rising to their feet as the president speaks. Elon Musk can be seen beside a young Barron, flashing goofy faces and an enthusiastic thumbs-up at the camera.

In contrast, Barron remains stoic, quietly applauding his father, his demeanor noticeably different from the animated tech CEO beside him.

The clip has sparked fresh theories across social media, with some users suggesting Barron's reserved expression could be a sign he never trusted Musk - adding new intrigue to a moment once considered insignificant.

As the Trump-Musk feud continues to dominate headlines, another X user resurfaced a photo from a time when their alliance appeared strong. The image, taken at a $350-per-plate Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago, shows the two families dining together during what many now call the “bromance” era.

Adding a humorous twist, one X user who posted the picture captioned the image with: “Is it okay if I’m friends with Elon?”—imagining Trump seeking Barron’s approval. The punchline? “I’ll allow it, Father,” the user had Barron responding.
