In the latest twist of the Elon Musk–Donald Trump saga, it wasn’t Musk himself but his six-month-old daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, whose social media “reaction” stole headlines—proving even in silence, the billionaire’s offspring can pack a punch. As Musk doubled down on his public attacks—accusing Trump of being listed in Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed files and endorsing calls for impeachment—fans noticed that Exa’s verified X account suddenly adopted a new avatar: a cartoon rocket emoji clutching a tiny impeachment gavel.
That cheeky image swap, first spotted by journalist Mia Tran in a viral screenshot shared on The Verge, triggered #ExaForImpeachment, with thousands praising the infant’s “political savvy” and “savage corporate parenting.” Exa’s profile picture now outperforms Musk’s own tweets in engagement, with retweets and likes doubling since the change.

The avatar change comes on the heels of Musk’s most incendiary posts yet, including his June 5 declaration—“Time to drop the real bomb: Trump is in the Epstein files”—and his simple “Yes” endorsement of an impeachment thread, as documented by Axios. Those tweets sent shockwaves through Washington and Wall Street, igniting debate among lawmakers and investors alike.
Yet while Musk faced press briefings and late-night talk show barbs, Exa’s account has remained eerily silent—except for that avatar. Some speculate it was a playful move by Musk himself, who often lets his children’s accounts run semi-autonomously, as seen when son X Æ A-Xii posted his first meme about Mars colonization last year. Others believe social media managers coordinated the stunt to amplify the impeachment message.
Regardless of who clicked “update,” the impact was immediate. Within hours, the hashtag trended globally, even drawing praise from former CIA analyst John Sifton, who tweeted, “If babies can see through hypocrisy, so can we.” His tweet, quoted in a New York Times analysis, underscored how Musk’s family has become a potent political symbol.

Musk’s feud with Trump began quietly, with policy jabs at the “Big Beautiful Bill” that cut EV tax credits, causing Tesla shares to dip 14% according to AP News. It escalated when Musk accused Trump of burying his own name in Epstein’s “little black book,” a claim reviewed by legal experts at The New York Times. Musk insisted transparency demanded impeachment—a position he echoed in an hour-long Clubhouse session, as covered by Rolling Stone.
Trump struck back on Truth Social, dismissing Musk as “a space cadet who can’t build a decent Twitter” and threatening to revoke SpaceX launch contracts, as Reuters reported. The salvo prompted Pentagon insiders, speaking to NBC News, to express concern over national security implications of politicized leases with Musk’s companies.
Through it all, Exa’s avatar stands as a silent, audacious commentary—mocking both billionaire bravado and political posturing. Celebrity stylist Karen Davis, tweeting from Paris Fashion Week, observed, “In a world of staged photo ops, this unspoken billboard on X is the ultimate flex.” Her reflection, highlighted in Vogue, speaks to the intersection of fashion, family, and politics in the digital age.

Legal scholars remain skeptical about the impeachment prospects. Georgetown Professor Linda Garza told CNN that Musk’s social media barrage “raises awareness, but only Congress can initiate articles of impeachment—with stringent evidentiary standards.” Still, Musk’s high-profile family cameo ensures the issue stays in the spotlight.
As anticipation builds for Friday’s meeting between Musk and Trump at Mar-a-Lago—brokered by conservative kingmakers and confirmed by Axios—observers wonder if Exa’s avatar will change again to foreshadow outcomes. Will she don a little red, white, and blue gavel? Or perhaps a tiny SpaceX patch signifying Musk’s demands for justice?
Whatever happens, one thing is certain: in the Elon Musk–Trump feud, even the youngest Musk has found a way to make her presence—and her father’s message—impossible to ignore.
