Elon Musk’s son might not have actually been telling Trump to ‘shush your mouth’

Whatever your thoughts on Donald Trump are, the viral video of Elon Musk’s son seemingly telling him to “shush your mouth” all whilst picking his nose is genuinely hilarious. At that moment Donald had been completely relegated to the role of babysitter and he wasn’t looking too happy about it.

In case you’ve missed the video, Elon Musk and his young son are standing next to Donald Trump in the Oval Office. While Elon Musk is talking, his young son appears to turn to Trump and whisper: “I want you to shush your mouth up.”

Elon Musk's son, X, tells Donald Trump, 'I want you to shush your mouth up”, picks his nose, and wipes it on the Presidential Desk, in new video.

He then proceeds to pick his nose and wipe his fingers on the actual presidential desk in what might be one of the boldest moves anybody has ever made in the Oval Office.

However, as it turns out Elon Musk’s son might not have actually been making his “shush” comment towards Donald Trump, as people think they’ve worked out who he was really talking to.

Someone on X pointed out that if you look at where his eye line is, he’s not actually looking towards Donald Trump when he makes the mischievous comment.

Instead, it actually looks like his comment might be directed towards the reporter standing behind the camera, perhaps one of the reporters was talking too loudly.

However, some people think Elon Musk’s son might not have even said the “shush” part to anyone, not even Donald Trump. There’s debate over whether he instead said: “You’re not the president, you need to leave.”

Either way, there is no confirmation that he actually said either of those things at all, or that they were even directed at Donald, so until Trump or Elon confirms what his son really said it’s all up for serious debate.
