Video of the Day: President Trump Shares a Heartwarming Moment with Elon Musk’s Son
In a rare and charming display of camaraderie, President Donald Trump shared a sweet moment with X Æ A-Xii, the four-year-old son of Elon Musk, during a departure from the White House on Friday.
The energetic preschooler was seen holding Trump’s hand as the two walked across the South Lawn before boarding Marine Force One, with Trump gently guiding the child up the aircraft stairs.
Elon Musk, now serving as a senior advisor and heading the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, accompanied them as they headed to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend.
While the trio was en route to Palm Beach, Florida, another headline moment was unfolding in the skies above.
That same evening, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, carrying a four-person crew on a critical mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
This mission, months in the making, is aimed at rescuing NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been in orbit for over nine months due to delays in spacecraft returns.
The new crew is scheduled to dock at the ISS by Saturday night, setting in motion the long-awaited return of Williams and Wilmore, who are expected back on March 19.
Their return will mark the end of an unexpectedly extended stay in space—a testament to human resilience and global collaboration in space exploration.
This dual milestone—a presidential moment on Earth and a heroic mission in space—highlights a remarkable day of leadership, family, and innovation.
