Heartwarming images capturing President Donald Trump alongside Elon Musk's son, X A-12, affectionately known as "Lil X," have taken the internet by storm.
The photographs, which depict a joyful moment as they make their way to Marine Force One, have resonated with viewers, drawing widespread admiration.
The White House shared the image on X, showcasing Trump with his trademark thumbs-up gesture, while Lil X beams at the cameras. This charming snapshot, taken on a Friday, has amassed over 4 million views by Saturday morning. One user on X expressed their delight, writing, "I love this pic! Lil X looks so happy," accompanied by a blush emoji.
According to Fox News, additional footage and photographs reveal the duo exiting the White House, with Lil X, dressed in a black coat adorned with a USA pin, clutching what appears to be a bag of candy. The young boy, filled with excitement, leads Trump down a ramp on the South Lawn, heading towards Marine Force One. Trump, also clad in a black coat, acknowledges the cameras, prompting Lil X to glance over and, upon spotting the press, joyfully leaps with his hands in the air. Musk himself commented on a similar image, stating, "That's a happy picture."
This moment drew parallels to a previous viral image of Musk jumping at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. During Friday's event, Trump paused to make an X sign with his hand, pointing at Lil X, further endearing the scene to onlookers. In subsequent images, Trump is seen carefully assisting Lil X onto the steps of Marine One, followed by Musk and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, before departing for Joint Base Andrews.
The interaction has sparked a wave of positive reactions online. One commenter noted, "Its lovely to see [Lil] X feels that comfortable with President Trump," emphasizing the genuine nature of the child's interaction with the President. Another user remarked, "This [is] what happens when you have a man in office that loves his family, loves his country! Get on board people!"
Lil X has become a familiar presence at the White House since Trump's return, as Musk has been appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This initiative focuses on eliminating waste, fraud, and corruption within the federal government. Last month, Lil X was seen in the Oval Office, playfully mimicking his father as Musk discussed DOGE's mission and achievements with the media. The young boy's antics, including making funny faces and picking his nose, added a lighthearted touch to the proceedings, culminating with Musk lifting him onto his shoulders.
This delightful episode underscores the warmth and camaraderie between the President and Musk's family, reflecting a shared commitment to traditional values and efficient governance.
