WASHINGTON, DC: Elon Musk brought three of his young children, including son X, to Blair House on Thursday, February 13, for a meeting with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

Notably, his son X made a White House appearance on Tuesday, February 11, alongside the Tesla CEO and President Donald Trump and the video soon became viral across social media, per Daily Mail.

Many pictures and clips of the SpaceX CEO holding the hands of his son X and daughter Azure went viral as they headed into Blair House to meet the Indian Prime Minister.

Musk's partner Shivon Zilis was seen closely following the trio with their child Strider and a few nannies, per the outlet.

Notably, the Indian Prime Minister is in DC to improve relations with Washington and the West after he refused to condemn Russia for its war in Ukraine, Daily Mail reported.



 

Musk's three young children surrounded Prime Minister Modi as their father handed him a gift during their meeting on Thursday.

The pictures show Azure staring at X for much of the meeting, which reportedly revolved around their father's company Starlink. Insiders informed Reuters that their meeting revolved around Starlink's long-delayed plans to launch satellite broadband services in India. 

Moreover, the Indian Prime Minister will also meet with President Donald Trump during his two-day visit with discussions mainly focused on trade and tariffs.

Earlier in the week, Musk made his appearance in the White House with his son X while marking a DOGE-centric executive order to target DC bureaucrats.

Moreover, he revealed that his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has found people who are "probably dead" and are still receiving Social Security checks, per the outlet. 

Interestingly, Musk's son X has frequently shown up alongside his father and also famously stole the show at President Trump's pre-inauguration rally. 

Internet slams Elon Musk for bringing his children to meeting with Indian Prime Minister

Several internet users slammed Elon Musk as he brought three of his young children to Blair House for a meeting with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Some online comments read, "There is a place for everything, and these children don’t belong at meetings with adults. Nannies listening to private government information?" and "There is no way that your kids would have been included in a presidential meeting being live-streamed to the world."

A person also stated, "Sure would be nice and convenient if everyone could bring their kids to work. However, normal parents prefer their children go to school with kids their own age, Learn to share and play together," whereas one mentioned, "Really? If you were on a plane would you feel comfortable having a pre-schooler bouncing around the cockpit pushing buttons?"

A user also wrote, "Children belong to the playground and should spend time with other kids, not be surrounded by adults acting like kids!" while one commented, "That would not be allowed at most work places. Money talks."

A person also added, "It’s outrageous that he is conducting personal business meetings on government property. And it’s obnoxious that he parades his kids around like this."
