Did Elon Musk's 4-year-old son really tell Donald Trump to shut up?

I'm sure most of you have seen this by now, but Elon Musk and Donald Trump did a press conference in the Oval Office a few days ago. Elon Musk brought his son, who may be named "X," into the Oval Office with him, an unusual thing for someone who is not the President to do.
While Elon Musk was rambling away about something, Musk's kid started to whisper something to Trump. To me it sounds like "You have to shut the f*ck up." Or Maybe just "Shut the fu*k up. Funny words from 4-year-old. In another segment, not shown in this video, he whispered to Trump, "You're not the real president."
It's been all around the news, but I talked to a couple of people yesterday who had not yet heard about it. Of course 4-year-olds repeat anything they hear respected grown-ups say. I wonder if Musk tells his son to "shut the f*ck up." As for "You're not the real president," maybe he's heard Musk say that to others about Trump. I don't know.
In any case, it was all pretty cute. And funny. What are your thoughts?

I like to check Snopes and they can't confirm what X said or to whom he was speaking.
So we still don't know for sure...

@DaddyEvil Yes, I observed his nonverbal behavior. He was taking to Trump, and responding to Trump's movements. He may have looked "through" or "beyond" Trump at some point(s) when he was speaking. I found myself wondering if he will wind up on the Autism spectrum, like his dad. I would like to work with him. Maybe he has a musical ear.

Well, I commend a parent taking care of their kid. And, yeah, I believe it. There was a show called kids say the darndest things. This is a reminder of that.

There's no way for us to know whether Musk says "Shut the f*ck up" to his kid, or whether the child sees daddy saying it when watching Trump on TV. If I were the kid's preschool teacher, I could find out. I am pretty good at talking to kids.

@TheHorse My parents cursed around me as a kid. My father's favorite way to answer the phone was hi, how the hell are you. I believe it's totally possible.

We truly in trouble, because shows who is running the show and its not Trump. I thought he was bad. Elon not even from here and has more power than Trump.
There is also a video out there, not sure if its true with AI these day, apparently only people on Reddit have it. It is with Tucker Carlson. I should have looked closer to seen where they received it from. Anyway, his son also crashes that interview. He basically said, they fixed it.
I found it, no source is claimed, but it is said Tucker edited parts of the video. I can see why people laying off this, though since there is no legitimate source. Many sources online said something about starlink and how they debunked this, but did they?
Its like one of those things, though. I do not know if its true, but I know its true.

I got no audio. But what the kid said sounds about right. What I DO sense is a loving relationship between Musk and his son. But Musk, with his Asperger's, might not realize is that every psychologist will recognize that what the child says is coming from him.

Amazing that the kid even had those thoughts in his head to say. Why does a 4 year old know to tell someone to STFU? And "you're not the real president"? Obviously he's heard those phrases several times before. The poor prop's mother, Grimes, is not happy with X being used in that way but Elmo listens to no one these days. . . not even Trump.

@TheHorse ask @porwest I don't follow the stock market but I think that Tesla's value has been dropping between the self-combusting cars and Elmo's BS with Twitter and Trump. This whole thing with Musk getting control and info from the government is horrifying. It is also horrifying that Americans are okay with it.

The kid has good sharp hearing and picks up a lot of things he hears. You have to see this
Many internet users claimed that Elon Musk's son X told President Donald Trump to 'shush your mouth' and to 'go away' during a press briefing

According to your video he supposedly says “I want you to shush your mouth.” At least that is what’s written in the text next to X when he speaks. Now what did he actually say? I’d want to see the whole video of Musk and X at the Oval Office.

It's hard to hear precisely what he said. But it was pretty funny. I liked it when he unashamedly picked his nose and wiped his boogers on Trump's desk. I think that kid is going to be pretty assertive. I wonder if he will inherit Autistic tendencies from his dad, though.
