Move over, Donald Trump and Elon Musk—there’s a new “special relationship” in town!
The billionaire tech mogul’s four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, stole the show at the White House this week, making headlines for his unfiltered remarks and antics.
Musk Brings His Mini-Me to the White House
Musk, now a father of 13, brought young X to meet Trump, who introduced him as a “high IQ individual.” But instead of a prodigy moment, X acted like any other toddler, interrupting the former president to announce, “Excuse me, but I need to pee,” before telling him, “I want you to shush your mouth.”
Things escalated when X casually picked his nose and wiped it on the Resolute Desk—while rocking a gold chain and camel coat, giving off full mafia boss vibes.
The Unbreakable Bond Between Musk and X
Walter Isaacson, Musk’s biographer, has long noted how Musk is inseparable from X, saying the child has a “calming presence” on his father. Musk believes X is a genius, claiming his first words were “car, rocket, and daddy.”
X has been Musk’s constant companion at high-profile events, from rocket launches to meetings with world leaders like Turkish President Erdogan and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He even tagged along for a New York business trip where he ended up at a late-night sushi party wearing a Tesla T-shirt.
Ties to Trump’s Inner Circle
X’s presence at Mar-a-Lago has become routine, with Musk reportedly moving into a cottage on the estate in the lead-up to Trump’s second term. Trump even posted on Truth Social in December, seemingly as a personal invite to Musk:
“Where are you? When are you coming to the ‘Centre of the Universe’ Mar-a-Lago? Bill Gates asked to come tonight. We miss you and X! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!!”
Grimes Sounds the Alarm Over X’s Public Role
While Musk parades his son on the world stage, X’s mother, Canadian singer Grimes, is far from thrilled. After the Oval Office spectacle, she took to social media, writing, “He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank you for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”
Her frustration is part of a deeper custody battle that has reportedly left her with limited access to X. Musk, who split from Grimes in 2022 after the birth of their third child, Techno Mechanicus (Tau), has been accused of keeping X away from his mother and her family.
Inside Musk’s Complicated Family Life
Musk’s parenting style has long been questioned. His daughter, Vivian, who transitioned at 18, cut ties with him completely, stating, “He was cold, quick to anger… uncaring and narcissistic.”
Meanwhile, Musk’s growing brood includes twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis—conceived via surrogacy without Grimes’ knowledge. She only learned about their birth through Business Insider reports, adding fuel to their ongoing legal war.
Grimes has since spoken openly about the custody battle, claiming she spent a year “locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers’ rights… fighting for my kids and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me.”
What’s Next for X?
With Musk bringing his son deeper into his political and corporate world, many are questioning whether X is being groomed for a bigger role. Will he continue making appearances alongside Trump and Musk, or will Grimes fight harder for her son’s privacy?
One thing’s for sure—this is just the beginning of X’s life in the spotlight.
