Billionaire Elon Musk attended Donald Trump’s important rally in Manhattan with his 4-year-old son, who wore a custom red hat with the slogan “Make Voting Great Again,” a play on Trump’s well-known phrase “Make America Great Again”.
The Tesla CEO arrived at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday (Oct 27), accompanied by his mother, Maye Musk, and his son, X Æ A-Xii, who was seen holding a Trump Vance sign featuring his father’s name.
At the event were several notable figures, including Trump’s running mate JD Vance, Trump’s wife Melania, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, wrestler Hulk Hogan, and TV personality Dr. Phil. Also present were members of Trump’s presidential transition team, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, alongside Musk.
X Æ A-Xii, born on 4 May 2020, is Musk’s son with singer Grimes. Musk, wearing his own black MAGA hat, held his son before taking to the stage, standing next to former First Lady Melania Trump.
Musk has increasingly become one of Trump’s prominent supporters, contributing $75 million to a pro-Trump super PAC and speaking at several rallies in support of the Republican candidate.
A photo of Melania Trump with Musk’s young son gained attention on social media after the event, with many users reacting warmly.
“Such a sweet photo! I can tell you love kids Melania! You have a mother’s smile and a gentle touch. Precious,” one user wrote.
“Beautiful picture of our beautiful First Lady Melania Trump, Little X and Elon Musk,” another fan commented. “Make Melania First Lady Again,” someone else added.
“Little X loves the crowd cheering,” another user said.
“What a wonderful moment for Maye too. She has to be so proud of her son,” said another.
Others commented, “Little, little X is adorable! #MAGA,” and “Adorable. The positive vibes towards his Daddy have Lil X dancing with joy.”
One person added, “little X is a celebrity So adorbs.”
On 27 October, Trump spoke to the crowd in Manhattan, outlining what he envisions for a potential second term. New York, however, is reportedly expected to lean towards Democratic opponent Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
