US President Donald Trump has seemingly been left 'seething' according to X users after Elon Musk brought his son X Æ A-12 into the Oval Office for an address.
Elon Musk's power within the US government has increasingly grown since he joined then-Republican presidential candidate on the election campaign trail last year.
The pair have a well known strong relationship, and many attribute large parts of Trump's victory to Musk's support - both financial and through his ownership of social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

As a result of this, Musk was rewarded with a position as head of the new Department of Government Efficiency, otherwise known as 'DOGE' for short, and tasked with cutting around $2,000,000,000,000 from the federal budget.
This new private agency has been met with significant controversy, with lawsuits dropping almost immediately and concerns over national security after the department gained access to the financial records of millions of Americans.
It's been understood that President Trump doesn't appreciate a power struggle and there have been many reports that he's grown frustrated with Musk's inability to remain on a leash, following incidents involving hiring non-US citizens and fiery feuds with key Trump partners.

However, it appears that Trump's latest 'rival' for attention is none other than Musk's own son X Æ A-12 (or X for short), as he made an appearance during an Oval Office address that appeared to frustrate the president.
Musk certainly took a bulk of the focus after addressing accusations of a 'hostile takeover', but one X user has figured out the moment that led Trump to 'seethe' in anger at little X,. as reported by Tyla.

"Trump seethes as President Musk's kid eats his boogers then paws his desk," Molly Ploofkins eloquently illustrates, and it's hard to ignore the contempt in the eyes of the president in this particular moment.
"Can you expect anything else?" questions one user in the replies, whereas another adds that "Trump was P***** OFF THE MOST cause he hated that the kid was getting the attention HE so craves."
Some have offered contrasting takes on the situation though, with one reply arguing: "He looks like a grandpa watching his grandkids. I don't see him mad at all."
What remains true is that Trump was far from the only person frustrated at X's appearance though, as his mother and Musk's former partner Grimes has expressed her own anger on social media.

"He should no be in public like this," she claimed, adding "sigh" at the end of her post to express her indignation and hopelessness.
