On Monday, challenged by absolutely no one, Elon Musk tweeted a bizarre photo with the caption "my bedside table".
It shows a half-drunk bottle of water, a mountain of caffeine-free Diet Coke cans, and a replica of George Washington's flintlock pistol in a wooden box (the lid of the box displays Emanuel Leutze's famous painting of Washington crossing the Delaware River).
There's also what appears to be a replica of the Diamond Back .357 revolver from the 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' video game and a Buddhist amulet.
In the top-right corner, we can see a few books. One of them looks like Washington's 'Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation.' It could be part of a collection of 'Books of American Wisdom,' which also includes the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and Benjamin Franklin's 'The Way of Wealth.'

In a follow-up tweet, Musk added: "There is no excuse for my lack of coasters," because obviously, it was the absence of coasters that caught everyone's eyes.
Immediately, people started mocking the billionaire for such a chaotic, let's call it, statement, so we thought it would be fun to round up some of the funniest reactions. Enjoy!

Interestingly, Musk has talked about staying up each night drinking Diet Coke in the past.
"There were probably times when I had like eight [Diet Cokes] a day or something ridiculous," he said, according to NBC News. "I think these days, it's probably one or two, so it's not too crazy."
He then added that he was also addicted to coffee. "I used to have so much coffee... that I'd get really wired. I'd get overcaffeinated and it wouldn't be good." Musk said he has since tried to swap coffee for water.
So at least that part of the photo might as well be natural.
This is my favorite one! Tons of bagged oregano for the Italian in me. Sugar and salt bags for flavor. My daily 27 wellness pills. And tons of cash for when I'm feeling naughty and buy myself a Starbucks coffee. ;)
With this amount of money you may even be able to afford that avocado sandwich

Are those fake dollar bills left as tip after the after-church breakfast? The ones with the 'money isn't everything' message for the server.

S**t is that table for sale?? I suddenly need a new bedside table. I've always called them nightstands. Is that not common?
Cat nip also looks somewhat close to cannabis. I’ve always wondered if someone has tried to bag some, passing it off as weed to the buyer.
Probably not bc not a lot of people buy off a dealer just once and they will telle everyone they have s**t weed or if they are scamming you and the dealer would probably just get beat up or smth because most of the time you can smell if its cannabis

Weed is technically an herb, and we don't know about their other side hustles, so maybe! Edit: I don't think cocaine is an herb tho :/

Yeah 👍, he's got it like that!!!!!!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 4 persona!!!!!!!!!!
Like how the cash is spread out to look like a ton, but it's roughly $1k.
This is clearly a police photo. The industrial type carpet and tiny parts of furniture that are visible are most likely in an office at the station. Not to mention how everything is laid out... In exact police fashion after a bust.
At least Elon has the good sense to have all this stuff put away in the drawers. Don't be animals here people!
Ok idk why, but does it bother anyone else that this isn't a table? Lol
Musk has also voiced support for gun ownership.
After the Robb Elementary School shooting in May, which left 19 students and two teachers dead, he expressed support for the 2nd Amendment.
"I strongly believe that the right to bear arms is an important safeguard against potential tyranny of government," Musk explained to CNBC. "Historically, maintaining their power over the people is why those in power did not allow public ownership of guns."
However, he added that gun sales should come with "tight background checks" and sales of assault weapons should be limited to special circumstances, such as for gun-range owners and those in "a high-risk location, like gang warfare."
These days, Musk is using his energy to focus on developing his new venture — Twitter.
Over the weekend, he shared slides showing that between October 17 and November 13, hate speech impressions on Twitter are lower.
The CEO also reported new user signups were at an all-time high, averaging over two million per day in the past week.
Those figures come in direct contrast with earlier media reports suggesting that hate speech increased after Musk took over the social media giant.
But today, these memes mocking his bedside table are probably the least of his concerns, as many companies have halted spending on Twitter amid concerns about Musk's content moderation plans for the site.
He said Twitter has seen a "massive" drop in revenue, blaming activists for pressuring advertisers.
From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Ye damned whale.
In one recent series of Tweets, he also accused Apple of "censorship" and criticized its policies, including the charge it levies on purchases made on its app store.
"Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?" he asked.
The Washington Post reported Apple was the top advertiser on Twitter, spending $48m on ads on the social network in the first quarter of 2022 alone.
Companies including Cheerios maker General Mills and Volkswagen are among the firms that have halted their business on the site in recent weeks.
There is not enough coffee and booze in the world to make me learn for that math test in bed

Is he in a midlife crisis or something? He is getting weirder and weirder.
Every day I wait for Elon Musk to shed his false human exoskeleton and reveal the hideous lizard creature he is beneath.
Now now, there´s no need to drag harmless lizard people into this. I´m sure they don´t want him, either.

I don't like the man, but that's a smart move. He instantly created a massive amount of traffic on Twitter.
My thoughts exactly. After 3 posts I’m like I don’t think this is a meme it’s more of a way to get people active and it worked.

I hope Elon plans to explore space for inhabital planets before he gets kicked off of this one.
He needs a good swift kick in the asteroid to get him moving on this project.

I think there comes a point when all the money in the world won't hide your mental issues. Also, further proof (IMO), he does not need any access to social media.
I keep my penis in my bed with me, but if Elon wants to leave his on his nightstand, I suppose that’s his business.
So.... hyped on caffeine with a loaded gun, with a framed pic that seems to be of something from the US in the 1770s or 1780s. Gee, who does *this* appeal to, Elon? (FYI, Elon, you're from South Africa. How about some props for Mandela? No? Didn't expect it.)
I think Elon is looking for a way to bring Apartheid back.

Easier to clean up spilled diet coke with tiled night stands. This is how brilliant minds think. It has functionality. No aesthetic value....but functional.

You said apartheid. 😂 all his night stand needs now is a trapper keeper and a little picture of the moon landing with Elons face superimposed over Neil Armstrong's spacesuit.

He’s definitely a weird guy lol. As a Buddhist I find it funny he has dorje, which is symbolic instrument signifying the indestructible nature of enlightenment. But it must accompanied by a bell, which symbolizes the wisdom view. They go together, but he only has one.
I appreciate you providing some context for this! The lack of a bell is either 1) proof that he’s a poser; he heard about a symbol of ‘the indestructible nature of enlightenment,’ and just HAD to get one and show it off to make people think he’s enlightened, or 2) that he thinks he IS the wisdom, so the bell would be extraneous. Even without knowing exactly what it stood for, I was APPALLED that he latched onto any sort of Buddhist cosplay. Even with the little knowledge I have of the finer points of the religion, I think we ALL can tell that he’s the anti-Buddha; the perfect combination for him also being the anti-Christ.

On my actual bedside table is my pet rabbit knocking over my picture frames, bills, keys to get to my cheese it box. Because I didn't think his fat butt could jump that high. XD
Elon is becoming the definition of " you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain".
He was never a hero though. He's a trust fund baby
