X Æ A-Xii, whom Musk shares with singer Grimes, quickly drew attention when he appeared to mimic his father’s hand gesture, clasping his hands in a similar manner. The brief moment of father-son synchronicity was caught on camera, charming both White House staff and viewers alike.
The executive order aims to reduce the size of the federal government by empowering DOGE to oversee workforce cuts and restrict hiring across multiple agencies. Trump expressed confidence in Musk’s ability to bring private-sector efficiency into public service, describing the tech entrepreneur as a “visionary problem-solver.”
The scene served as a lighthearted moment amid serious discussions about government restructuring, blending politics with an unexpected touch of family warmth.
