Elon Musk’s young son, X Æ A-12, stole the spotlight during a White House press conference focused on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). While Musk was discussing the new executive order, four-year-old X began exploring the stage, capturing the attention of the audience.

X waved to journalists, inspected microphones, and even grabbed the microphone to say something that sounded like “dogecoin.” Musk joked, “I see he’s been paying attention,” while President Trump remarked, “Maybe we should put him in charge of DOGE.”

Despite Musk’s efforts to focus on the policy, X continued to entertain, pointing at the presidential seal and shouting, “Eagle!” The crowd laughed, and journalists couldn’t resist capturing the lighthearted moment on camera.

While the viral moment distracted from the discussion on government efficiency, Musk used it to emphasize the importance of curiosity and creativity in governance. On social media, hashtags like #LittleMusk and #XGoesToWashington quickly trended, showing that sometimes, even in politics, there’s room for fun.
