At a White House press conference, the tech mogul spoke to reporters about his recent work for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), as four-year-old son X Æ A-Xii was seen climbing on his father while President Trump signed an executive order to bolster the agency’s power.

Grimes, Musk’s former partner and mother to three of his 12 children, was seemingly less than thrilled when she found out via social media about her son’s public appearance.

“He should not be in public like this,” Grimes wrote on social media, commenting on a video of the moment.

“I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”

The 36-year-old singer dated Musk from 2018 to 2022 and the duo share three children – X Æ A-Xii (also known as Lil X), three-year-old daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, and two-year-old son Tau Techno Mechanicus.
