WASHINGTON, DC: Elon Musk’s son Little X, originally named X Æ A-12, was the star of a recent meeting held for the incoming US government.

The Tesla CEO shares the four-year-old child with Canadian musician Grimes. On Thursday, December 5, the adorable father-son duo arrived at Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

While Musk was seen in a suit for the government meeting, his son donned a grey jumper and a sports jacket along with dress pants.

The photos and videos of the pair soon went viral on the internet with people swooning over the little one.



 

However, this was not the first time the toddler was seen with his famous father. He even joined Musk at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence for the election night celebration and was also seen in a photo shared by Kai Trump.

The billionaire was at the Capitol Hill to meet fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and other legislators to discuss their newly-announced advisory team, as per BBC.

Musk and Ramaswamy were named the co-chairs of The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by Trump last month. 

At the time, the Republican said, “It will become, potentially, 'The Manhattan Project' of our time.Republican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of 'DOGE' for a very long time.”

Also, Musk had shared on X, “Threat to democracy? Nope, threat to BUREAUCRACY!!!”



 

Later, in an op-ed piece, Musk and Ramaswamy claimed that they would “serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees”.
