Musk's four-year-old son distracted reporters while the US president signed an executive order that significantly reduces the number of federal employees.
Billionaire Elon Musk brought his four-year-old son from singer Grimes to the Oval Office to meet with US President Donald Trump. Previously, the child accompanied him to all important events, including the evening in honor of Trump's victory in the presidential election. This is&written Daily Mail.
Elon Musk brought his son X to the Oval Office to the US President
The 53-year-old billionaire visited 78-year-old Trump on February 11, accompanied by his little son X Æ A-12, also known as “X”.
While Trump and photographers were getting emotional over the toddler who was romping and crawling on the floor, Elon Musk made some bold statements about his work in the White House's Office of Government Efficiency.
Yes, one of the orders is designed to significantly reduce the number of federal employees, forcing agencies to hire “no more than one employee for every four employees who are laid off.”
“We find it strange that, you know, there are a lot of people in the bureaucracy who are supposedly getting paid a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accumulate tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position. That's what happened at USAID. Maybe they are very good at investing, and in that case, maybe we should listen to their investment advice,” — Musk said.
He also claimed, without evidence, that USAID officials were taking “kickbacks.”
Musk boldly stated that DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) was “as transparent as possible” in its efforts to reduce staff.
When asked about the “haters,” Musk said that the American people voted for these cuts.
“I have haters? I don't believe it,” — replied the billionaire.
Elon Musk himself appeared in the Oval Office in a black coat and cap with the inscription “Make America Great Again” – Donald Trump's campaign slogan. But his son's outfit attracted special attention: he wore a light coat, vest and a very thick gold chain. It is unclear whether it was a decoration or whether the chain had another purpose.
