A heartwarming photo of President Donald Trump walks to a Marine with Elon Musk's son.
The image, posted to X by the White House, shows Trump giving his signature thumb. Musk's son, Xæa-12, also known as “Lil x,” is smiling at the camera as he heads to the famous Chopper on Friday.
SNAP has received more than 4 million views as of Saturday morning.
“I love this photo! Lil X looks very happy,” one user wrote with a blushing emoji on X.
Videos and other photos of Trump (78) and Lil X (4) show two of the White House doors, dressed in black coats with American pins, and carrying what appears to be a candy bag.
Excited, jumping and skipping, Lil X leads out the Trumps and walks along a small ramp on the Southern Lawn of the White House towards the Marines.
Trump is also in a black coat, causing waves towards the camera, urging Lil X to look out over the press pool. As soon as he finds the camera, he smiles and jumps his hand in the air.
“It's a happy picture,” Musk wrote to X about a similar photo of the two at the moment.
The jump image was compared to the virus image of a mask jumping at a Trump campaign rally held in Butler, Pennsylvania in October.
At some point on Friday, the Trumps stop, give the X sign with their hands and point to Lil X.
In other images, you can see President Trump being carefully lifted up onto the Marines' stairs.
Musk and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick follow. The Marines then set out for Andrews' joint base.
“It's nice to see [Lil] X feels comfortable with President Trump,” another poster wrote. “Eron and the president are together every day. You can fake what people say, but X is playing with President Trump. Kids don't know how to fake things or relationships. There's only love.”
Another user rang: “This [is] What will happen when you have a man who loves his family and loves his country! Please board the boat! ”
Lil X has been a regular White House fixture since Trump returned to the White House. Musk is entrusted by Trump, who leads Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to eradicate waste, fraud and corruption within the federal government.
Last month, he stood side by side with Musk and Trump in his oval office, so Musk spoke to the media about Doge's mission and achievements.
Lil X playfully imitates his father, flashing his funny face and picking his nose, being seen before the mask was wrapped around his shoulder.
