Elon Musk's 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, stole the spotlight at a White House press conference on Tuesday, where his antics included picking his nose, mimicking his father, and appearing to "shush" President Donald Trump.

Musk was at the Oval Office as Trump signed an executive order on government efficiency, but all eyes were on young X. At one point, X looked at Trump and seemed to whisper, "I want you to shush your mouth." Moments later, his finger found its way into his nose.

Comments on a TikTok highlighting the moment featured the shock and amusement viewers felt watching the understandably bored child in the Oval Office.

"Did he just tell Trump to shush? Omg... Lol..." one commenter posted. Another joked, "Is this one of Musk's top programmers?" Someone else quipped, "This is an SNL skit happening in real time," while another asked, "What in the 'Live from New York' is happening??!?"

Beyond the comedic interruptions, X also managed to raise eyebrows by wiping his nose on the historic Resolute Desk—something that left even Musk's biggest fans divided. "Elon's kid wiping his boogers on the Resolute Desk is a sight I didn't really need to see," one person wrote.

Despite the chaos, Trump appeared unfazed by the tiny disruptor, calling the young boy a "high IQ individual."

Musk, meanwhile, remained focused on answering questions, defending his aggressive push for government reform and dismissing concerns that his influence over the executive branch amounted to a "hostile takeover."
