Elon Musk’s youngest son, X Æ A-Xii, unexpectedly became the centre of attention during a high-level diplomatic and business meeting in China after appearing alongside his father with a dragon-shaped purse.
Appearance at Beijing summit draws attention
Six-year-old X accompanied Musk during meetings at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, where American business leaders met Chinese officials during President Donald Trump’s visit.
The event was part of broader discussions involving senior executives and policymakers, including Chinese Premier Li Qiang.
Viral images of Musk’s son
Photos showed the child wearing a white shirt, dark trousers, and a blue Chinese-style vest while holding Musk’s hand and smiling during introductions.
His dragon-themed bag and relaxed behaviour quickly caught attention online, with social media users focusing on the contrast between formal diplomatic settings and the child’s casual presence.
Musk’s own behaviour also goes viral
While X drew major attention, Musk himself also became a trending topic due to his expressions and body language during the meetings.
Videos from the summit showed moments where Musk appeared restless or highly expressive during formal proceedings, triggering widespread discussion on social media.
Major figures present at the summit
Musk was reportedly seated alongside top global officials and business leaders including Tim Cook, Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, and Pete Hegseth during discussions involving US-China relations.
Summit focused on trade and geopolitical tensions
Despite viral moments, the core agenda of the meeting focused on major US-China issues, including tariffs and tensions over Taiwan.
Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly warned that rising tensions could escalate if the Taiwan issue is not handled carefully, while also stressing the need for cooperation rather than rivalry between the two countries.
Social media reaction
The mix of high-level diplomacy and Musk’s family presence led to a wave of online reactions, turning an otherwise formal summit into a viral global talking point.
