The contrasting expressions between Barron Trump and Elon Musk attract attention

During the inauguration ceremony of US President Donald Trump on January 20 at Capitol Hill, his youngest son Barron Trump and billionaire Elon Musk became the focus of attention, appearing together in the front row but with different expressions. Completely opposite when listening to the President speak.

Video at the event captured the moment Mr. Musk, 53 years old, laughed excitedly, gave a thumbs up, clapped and cheered enthusiastically in the auditorium after Mr. Trump announced that Americans would plant the national flag on Mars. Standing next to Mr. Musk, Barron, 18 years old, clapped his hands again with a calm look, his face showing little emotion, somewhat cold.

The contrast in facial expressions and gestures of two of the people closest to President Trump has attracted attention and delighted the American public.

“Mr. Elon exudes the energy I wish I could convey, but Barron is the image I often portray in public,” one online user commented.

“Mr. Musk looks like a naughty student placed next to Barron, an obedient, quiet student,” another person compared.

During his father’s inauguration, Barron Trump was also praised for proactively greeting and shaking hands with former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Although it is unclear what Barron said, the exchange seemed friendly, with Mr. Biden smiling.

“Barron just shook hands with Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris. That was a very polite action,” said Kimberly Ross, commentator Washington Examinerspeak.

“Barron’s initiative shows that the young man shows respect and carefully considers everything,” commented Taylor Hansen, an independent reporter.

Barron’s proactive handshake also made observers talk about the US President’s youngest son’s ability to participate in politics in the future.

“This young man could become president one day. Let’s wait and see,” commented Nick Sortor, an influencer on X.

Barron is a freshman at New York University and has not yet shown any political ambitions. He does not often appear next to Mr. Trump, but the former president revealed that his youngest son acted as an unofficial media advisor during the election campaign, helping him connect with Gen Z voters who are old enough to vote. .
