Elon Musk Faces Backlash Over Son’s White House Appearance

Grimes criticizes Musk for bringing their 4-year-old son to an Oval Office event with Donald Trump, sparking debate over parenting choices and public exposure of children.

Elon Musk brought his 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, to a White House press conference with Donald Trump, where the child’s behavior and remarks drew significant media attention.
Grimes, the child’s mother and Musk’s ex-partner, expressed disapproval on social media, stating that their son should not be in public settings like this without her knowledge.
The child, nicknamed 'Lil X,' engaged in playful antics during the event, including whispering to Trump, climbing on Musk, and making comments that were captured on video.
Critics have accused Musk of using his son as a public relations tool to soften his image, while supporters argue it normalizes parenting in professional spaces.
The incident has reignited broader discussions about Musk’s parenting style, his public persona, and the ethics of involving young children in high-profile political events.
