Elon Musk’s son X Æ A-12’s three savage words when interrupting dad during White House press conference with Trump

Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, had a savage response when interrupting his dad during a White House press conference with Donald Trump.

The four-year-old, who goes as X for short, seemed to be quite the distraction during the important meeting at the Oval Office as he pulled a number of faces, climbed all over his dad and even appeared to wipe his bogies on the Resolute desk.

This came as the 53-year-old Tesla CEO and Trump, 78, answered a series of questions from reporters to witness the latter sign an executive order requiring federal agencies to cooperate with the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts to cut costs after facing pushback last week.

And, as if things couldn't get worse following the whole bogey-situation, X appeared to shush someone off-camera before instructing them to 'shut your mouth'.

X, who is just one of the three children Musk shares with ex-girlfriend Grimes, also also stuck his fingers in his father's ears - an act which prompted to reporters to laugh.

"I thought my son might enjoy this, but it's, he's sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff," Musk pointed out, before saying to the toddler: "So it's been hard to hear sometimes.

"Hey! Stop that."

While Musk was discussing DOGE's aim to 'restore democracy', X also mimicked his father, prompting the father-of-12 to apologise to reporters: "I tell you gravitas can be difficult sometimes."

And it's safe to say the ordeal hasn't gone down well with viewers, with many rushing to social media to call Musk - who is the head of DOGE - out for his 'unprofessionalism'.

One Twitter user slammed: "America is a joke. Bringing a child to work during conferences is unprofessional especially if the child speaking while you interviewed."

Another added: "How unprofessional - with all the money Elon Musk has surely he can afford a baby sitter! How dare he bring his kid into the Oval Office in front of the world’s press - this is what we have come to."

And a third commented: "I will actually donate some of my taxpayer dollars so that Elon Musk can get a damn babysitter. How unprofessional is this?"

Meanwhile, Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, has since hit back at Musk for taking their son to the press conference.

She took to Twitter to issue a statement on the matter, writing: "He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I'm glad he was polite. Sigh."
