Viewers in hysterics at Barron Trump's reaction to Elon Musk's bizarre celebration at Trump inauguration

Mention of Mars appears to have perked up the richest man in the world

The internet has been sent into hysterics after a video from Donald Trump's presidential inauguration shows a stark contrast between Barron Trump and Elon Musk's 'bizarre' and excited reaction.

It's no surprise to anyone that Elon Musk was front and center for much of Donald Trump's presidential welcome, as the richest man in the world has played a key part in the election campaign and post-victory plans.

Musk's own mother has commented on how close the pair are, and Elon has now officially taken his place as co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) following a pledge to cut $2,000,000,000,000 from federal spending.

Outside of his government affiliations though perhaps the thing that Musk is known for the most is SpaceX - in particular his desire to visit and eventually colonize Mars.

It appears as if Trump is also a keen fan of these plans, as the President mentioned this as something he wants to achieve within the next four years, and that certainly appeared to please the SpaceX founder.

"We will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars," outlined President Trump, "by launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars."

This is quite a clear statement of intent, and it could signal that Trump is willing to forgo the regulatory and economic hurdles that have prevented astronauts from setting foot on the Moon for over half a century.

What many have actually focused on in line with this statement though is the reaction of Elon Musk, shown in a cutaway shortly after, especially as it offers quite the contrast to Barron Trump - the president's son - in front of him.

Musk is shown gleefully nodding, cheering, and giving two thumbs up, whereas Barron Trump looks rather contemplative and even annoyed, especially in juxtaposition to Elon's enthusiasm.

Social media, of course, has had a lot of fun with this clash of personalities, and the reaction has been that of hysterics across X (formerly Twitter).

"Elon Musk always looks like the annoying classmate who used to throw paper airplanes from the last row," outlines one user, whereas "Barron, on the other hand, at 18, looks like he's about to preside over the Supreme Court in a joint session."

You certainly wouldn't be able to guess which one of the two actually holds a role in government right now!

Another user adds that they're "getting some strong King Joffrey vibes from Barron Trump," while "Elon must be high AF. Nobody acts like that unless they're 5 yrs old or poppin pills."

Someone even goes so far to argue that "Barron knows how s*** his dad will be, while Elon Musk dances around like a clown, he will do whatever to try and get one more dollar."

It's up to you to decide what to take from this bizarre clip, but it certainly shows the clash of personalities that could be present in this new regime.
