Elon Musk's 4-Year-Old Son Tells Trump: "Shush Your Mouth!" (video)
The younger Musk got bored during an Oval Office press conference, so he decided to say a few pointed things to Trump.

As a father of two boys, I can confirm the old adage “kids say the darndest things.” Rarely, however, can a kid say the darndest things to the President of the United States in the Oval Office.
Elon Musk’s 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii (known as X), joined his father and Donald Trump yesterday at a White House press conference. The event began with Trump saying, "This is X, and he's a great guy. High IQ. He's a high IQ individual." I wonder if Trump still feels that way after the press conference.
Once his father began speaking, Musk’s son approached Trump and said, “You’re not the president. You need to go away.” Trump, seated at the Resolute desk, did not respond. Perhaps he was thinking about this:

Later in the press conference, X appeared to give Trump the side-eye before telling him, “I want you to shush your mouth.” LOL. You and me both, little guy…
Few activities could possibly bore a 4-year-old as much as a long press conference. Musk apparently disagreed, saying, “I thought my son might enjoy this (press conference).”
About 22 minutes into the event, Musk put X on his shoulders and later bemoaned, “he's sticking his fingers in my ears and stuff. So it's been hard to hear sometimes. Hey! Stop that!"

X’s mother, Canadian musician Grimes, had not seen the press conference until someone shared a video with her on social media. “He should not be in public like this,” she wrote.
In response to criticism of her after Elon’s inauguration Nazi salute, Grimes wrote in a post, “It's absurd that someone can be this cancelled for something their ex did before they even heard it happened. I am not him. I will not make a statement every time he does something. I can only send love back into a world that is hurting.”
The kid should be put in charge of DOGE. The kid almost certainly knows software engineering better than his father, definitely takes fewer drugs, and clearly recognizes a useless employee when he sees one.
The kid said to him that he was not the president and he needed to go away. A four-year-old does not make that up. He has heard that before. I find it shocking that it doesn’t seem like anybody’s making that connection. I think the real story is that you have a four year-old who knows and has been told that his father is essentially the president of the United States.
