Billionaire Elon Musk stole the limelight during a pre-inauguration event for US President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday as he brought his charming four-year-old son X onstage.
He described his son X, who made appearances in several parties and events since Trump's landslide victory in election, as a “enthusiastic supporter”.
Trump's inauguration ceremony inside the Capitol today is expected to mark an unprecedented return to the White House. For the first time in four decades, this celebration will be held inside the US Capitol rather than outside owing to extreme cold.
Trump asks Musk to join him onstage
Musk, who is expected to have a bigger role in the new government, took part in a massive Make America Great Again rally as Trump praised him and his son.
“Come here, Elon. Did you see his rocket yesterday? It was captured. Ah, and X is with him, X. Come on, Elon. Say a couple of words,” the President-elect stated.
As SpaceX CEO addressed the crowd, X could be seen bouncing up and down with excitement.
Expressing gratitude to Trump, Musk said, “Sorry, little X just followed me on the stage here. He’s a very enthusiastic supporter, as you can see.”
While Musk raised his fist, X lifted his arm in joy.
