Did Elon Musk’s Son X Tell President Trump: “I want you to shush your mouth up”?

Oh my goodness….

You have to love kids, don’t ya?

Kids say the darndest things, which used to be a great show until Bill Cosby was accused of raping all those women.

But I digress.

Back to the kids, and specifically to Elon Musk’s son little X.

I saw this going viral online earlier today and I dismissed it thinking it had to be fake, but I actually think this might be real as best I can tell.

Either way, I’ll show you and you can decide.

And no, I’m not posting this to drive a wedge between President Trump and Elon Musk.  Pure nonsense.  These are both great men and they’re working great together to save America.  So get that nonsense out of here.

I’m posting this because if this is true, this is an absolutely legendary clip from an almost 5 year old boy.

Watch here and see what you think:

This one allegedly shows little X picking his nose and wiping it on the Resolute Desk, which I just absolutely love:

Elon Musk's kid, "X":
– looked at Trump;
– said, "I want you to SHUSH your mouth up!";
– picked his nose; and
– wiped his bugars/snot on the resolute desk;

…all in a span of about 30 seconds.

Come on people, he’s not even 5 years old!

Cut him some slack!

But now for the big question….is this real?

Well, everything I can find says the clip is real and not edited.

But I’m not so sure he was talking to President Trump.

The angles make it look that way, but I think it’s much more likely he was talking to a reporter to President Trump’s left side.

President Trump does not respond at all, not even listening to what little X had to say.  If he were talking to him, I think the President would have at least made an effort to listen perhaps.

Here’s what the Daily Mail thought:

Elon Musk’s toddler son not only stole the show at the Oval Office press conference, but left the internet scrambling to piece together exactly what he said to President Donald Trump.

The Tesla mogul, 53, visited Trump, 78, on Tuesday accompanied by his four-year-old son X Æ A-12, also known as X.

While Musk spoke in front of a sea of photographers, marking a DOGE-centric executive order to target D.C. bureaucrats, little X appeared to whisper something to the president.

After making silly faces next to his dad and Trump, X stepped closer to the commander-in-chief and appeared to say: ‘I want you to shut your mouth up,’ online users insisted.

They even speculated that the toddler added a curse word to the statement, telling the president ‘I want you to shut your f***ing mouth up.’

X not only appeared to talk to Trump, but was also seen picking his nose and wiping it on the Resolute Desk.

Internet users also pointed out that Musk’s youngest child was also caught on a hot mic seemingly telling Trump: ‘You are not the president, you need to go away.’

Many quickly took to the comments to share their thoughts about X’s behavior, as one said: ‘THAT KID TOLD HIM HE’S NOT PRESIDENT…WONDER WHERE HE HEARD THAT FROM.’

‘He definitely said it,’ said someone else, followed by several laughing emojis.

Some were even left frightened by the speculations, as one said: ‘How is this the reality? It’s so scary.’

Another wrote: That’s disturbing that child is exposed to all of this not to mention WHY is the kid in the oval office????’

Musk continued to make several bold claims about the Department of Government Efficiency while Trump sat at his desk, interjecting a couple times.

The order, which wasn’t immediately released by the White House, was intended to ‘significantly’ scale back the federal workforce, pushing agencies to hire ‘no more than one employee for every four employees’ in that department, according to Semafor.

Trump didn’t even bother signing the order in front of reporters, allowing Musk to hold court with his toddler for more than 30 minutes instead, with the president asking Musk to reveal some of his findings.

‘We do find it sort of odd that, you know, there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position,’ Musk said. ‘Which is what happened in USAID. We’re just curious as to where it came from.’

‘Maybe they’re very good at investing, in which case we should take their investment advice perhaps,’ Musk said.

Trump rubber-stamped what Musk was up to, telling reporters, ‘We don’t want an unsuccessful guy doing this.’

‘And I fully expect to be scrutinized and get a daily proctology exam, basically,’ Musk joked. ‘Might as well just camp out there.’

Musk scoffed when asked about his ‘detractors’ and said the American people voted for these cuts.

‘I have detractors? I don’t believe it,’ the South African-born billionaire replied.

‘Well, first of all, you couldn’t ask for a stronger mandate from the public,’ he continued. ‘The public voted, a majority of the public voted for President Trump.’

‘We won the House, we won the Senate. The people voted for major government reform. There should be no doubt about it. That was on the campaign – the president spoke about that at every rally,’ he went on.

So there you go!

What do you think?

I think the clip is real and he said it to someone, and that alone is hilarious!  You think this kid with DNA from Elon Musk, hanging out with his father all the time and learning from him, you think he might be just a bit unique?  A bit special?
