Dubai: Elon Musk made a surprise appearance at Donald Trump’s pre-inauguration rally at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., on January 19, accompanied by his four-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii.

The crowd was delighted as X ran up to join his father on stage, enthusiastically waving and jumping while Musk addressed the audience.

“Sorry, little X just followed me on stage. He’s a very enthusiastic supporter, as you can see,” Musk said, drawing smiles and laughter from the crowd.

Musk, who is set to head the new “Department of Government Efficiency” under Trump, also shared his thoughts on the upcoming changes in America, emphasising that the victory marked the beginning of significant reforms.

“This victory is just the start. What matters going forward is to make lasting changes and lay the foundation for America to be strong for centuries to come,” he stated.

Trump, who had invited Musk onstage, also praised the tech billionaire, calling him a “genius” and highlighting his campaign efforts, especially in Pennsylvania.

He humorously referred to Musk’s son, X, saying, “If you believe in the racehorse theory, he’s got a nice, smart son.” The crowd reacted warmly to the compliment, as Musk's son continued to entertain with his energetic antics.

This wasn't the first time Musk and X appeared together at a Trump event. The duo had previously attended Trump’s New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, in December.

At the rally, Trump showered Musk with praise for his achievements, including SpaceX’s success with landing booster rockets, and Musk’s efforts to help secure Pennsylvania in the election.

The rally also featured performances by Trump supporters, including Kid Rock and the Village People, though none of Trump’s Cabinet nominees were present. As the event concluded, Trump praised Musk for his strategic role in the campaign and expressed his gratitude for Musk’s continued support, particularly in key battleground states.
