A heartwarming photo of President Donald Trump walking with Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, has taken the internet by storm.
The image, shared by the White House on X, shows Trump flashing his signature thumbs-up while “Lil X” beams at the cameras.

“I love this pic! Lil X looks so happy,” one user wrote, adding a blush emoji.
Lil X and Trump share a playful interaction
Additional footage captured the four-year-old joyfully skipping alongside Trump as they exited a White House door. Lil X, dressed in a black coat with a USA pin, carried a small bag of candy.
As they walked onto the South Lawn, Trump waved at the cameras.
The footage showed the young boy immediately noticed the press pool, smiled, and jumped excitedly with his hands in the air.
The joyful moment reminded many of Musk’s famous jump at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in October.
At one point, Trump stopped to make an ‘X’ sign with his hand before pointing at Lil X. In another set of images, Trump carefully lifted the child onto the steps of Marine One before boarding himself.
