Elon Musk’s son X steals spotlight at Oval Office press conference 

Elon Musk's four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, stole the spotlight during a press conference in the Oval Office on Tuesday, February 11, which he attended alongside his father and President Donald Trump.

The youngster quickly garnered the attention of netizens with his playful antics that seemed to interrupt his father as he spoke to the media.

Musk, who was in the Oval Office to discuss his role as head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was in the middle of addressing reporters about federal government cuts when his son stole the show.

As Musk defended the controversial cuts to government programs, X could be seen sitting on his father's shoulders and playfully imitating him.

The moment that drew the most laughter was when X instructed someone off-camera to "sh" and "shut your mouth." His playful comments were met with chuckles from reporters, and the scene became an instant talking point.

At one point during the press conference, X could be seen sticking his fingers in his father’s ears, prompting Musk to comment on the disruption. "I thought my son might enjoy this, but he’s sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff," Musk joked, before adding, "So it's been hard to hear sometimes."

He then turned to his son and said, "Hey! Stop that." Despite the interruptions, Musk kept his cool, continuing to address the media with his usual candid style.
