He is having the time of his life!
The internet's reactions ranged from admiration of Trump as a "family man" to praise for his grandfather-like bond with Little X, with one fan calling him "brilliant" in the role of a "grandfather figure."

This isn’t the first time an interaction between Trump and Musk’s son has captured attention. Last month, during a visit to the White House, X stole the spotlight in the Oval Office, where Trump introduced him as "a great guy—a high IQ individual."
A viral video from that appearance showed X engaging in playful antics, including picking his nose and wiping it on the desk, which caused a stir online.
