Elon Musk is sparking conversation on Twitter after posting a picture of items on the table next to his bed.
In a tweet early Monday morning, Musk wrote, “My bedside table.”
He shared a picture of a table with four open cans of caffeine-free Diet Coke and an open water bottle.
The New York Post pointed out what appeared to be a Tibetan Buddhist amulet on the table as well.
The table also held what the Post described as a “non-firing replica of George Washington’s flintlock pistol, lying in a wooden box whose open lid displayed an image of Emanuel Leutze’s painting of the first U.S. president crossing the Delaware River.”
Additionally, there was a “model replica of a Diamond Back .357 revolver from the ‘Deus Ex: Human Revolution’ video game,” according to the paper.

In a separate tweet, Musk wrote, “There is no excuse for my lack of coasters.”
Fox News contributor Sara Carter wrote, “The leftist will lose their minds.”
“Too much liberty in this picture,” she added.

Firearms reporter Stephen Gutowski chimed in, “Four caffeine-free diet cokes, a commemorative flintlock pistol, and a toy revolver is a pretty unique esthetic.”

Not everyone was thrilled with his post. Sophia Nelson, an opinion writer at The Washington Post, tweeted, “This is the first tweet in my timeline when I woke up this morning. This is not normal. My guns are in proper holsters or carriers. Or in a gun bag. Is [Musk] afraid of someone?”
This is the first tweet in my timeline when I woke up this morning. This is not normal. My guns are in proper holsters or carriers. Or in a gun bag. Is @elonmusk afraid of someone? Get an alarm and guard security. You are one of the richest men on earth. https://t.co/eyyx4rqfWQ
