Musk’s four-year-old son, commonly known as X, stole the show at a press conference on Tuesday (February 11), where the Tesla CEO joined Trump for the signing of a new executive order. The order, aimed at reducing government expenses by mandating federal agencies to collaborate with the Department of Government Efficiency, has faced opposition in recent weeks.
As Musk answered questions from reporters, little X became an unintentional star of the event, pulling playful faces and occasionally interrupting his father. But one particular moment truly grabbed the internet’s attention.
At one point, X was caught picking his nose—then casually wiping his fingers on the historic Resolute Desk.
Social media reactions poured in almost instantly.
“Trump looks furious as President Musk’s kid eats his boogers and then wipes them on the desk,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) posted.
