President Donald Trump walked with Elon Musk’s younger son X Æ A-12, aka Lil X or Little X, throughout the South Garden of the White Home towards Marine One Friday night on the best way to spend the weekend in Mar-a-Lago. Elon Musk adopted at a distance, letting Trump play ‘grandpa’ to the rambunctious four-year-old.
Trump, in a great temper after returning to the White Home from his triumphant speech on the Division of Justice, emerged from the Oval Workplace with Little X, strolling towards Marine One whereas father Elon trailed behind. Trump paused and acknowledged the press gaggle, pointed on the boy and playfully drew an X within the air along with his hand, twice.

Wearing an extended darkish overcoat like Trump, Little X adorably jogged to maintain up with the President as he strode throughout the South Garden.
Little X was fascinated by the Marine Corps helicopter, twisting and turning to take a look at it, taking Trump’s hand as they approached the stair case. Trump picked up Little X and set him on the steps earlier than stepping up himself (with a slight misstep he rapidly recovered from as he hustled up the steps.)
Like father, like son:
