Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s four-year-old son stole the show at President Donald Trump’s inauguration rally, joining his father on the stage while he delivered a speech the evening before Trump’s inauguration.
Musk focused on a positive view of the future of the United States under Trump’s leadership during his speech at the rally, which also featured performances from Kid Rock, Billy Ray Cyrus, and the Village People, who performed “Y.M.C.A.” — the song that Trump is famous for dancing to at his rallies. Of course, these performances received praise and attention, but social media users seemed even happier about Musk’s son, X Æ A-Xii.
While Musk was speaking, his four-year-old son was smiling and waving as he walked around on the stage next to his father, who was speaking about making “significant changes” to the federal government.
“We’re looking forward to making a lot of changes, and this victory is the start,” Musk said. “What matters going forward is to actually make significant changes, cement those changes, and set the foundation for America to be strong for a century, for centuries, forever.”
“Little X just followed me on the stage here!” Musk told the crowd, smiling at his adorable son and declaring that his child was “a very enthusiastic supporter” of Trump.
Social media users expressed their adoration for Musk’s son, noting that he was the star of the rally. Many also praised Musk for effectively “normalizing” parenthood and showing the world that children are the future and should be celebrated.
“I love [Elon Musk] normalizing the inclusion of children in high places. Lil X wasn’t a bother and actually enhanced the rally,” detransitioner and outspoken gender ideology critic Chloe Cole wrote in a post on X. “Kids are the future of the country, they can come along to these events.”

“Normalize this,” Anna Lulis wrote. “[Elon Musk] is the richest man in the world, yet consistently lives out his pro-child beliefs by bringing his own children into his daily work.”
“Actions speak louder than words. Children aren’t burdens—they’re the future,” she added.
