Musk posted a picture of his “bedside table” Monday morning, with guns and Diet Coke cans featured.
The picture also includes a famous painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware River.
Musk has previously expressed he’s a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
On Twitter Monday morning, Elon Musk posted a picture of what he called his “bedside table,” with guns and Diet Coke cans on display.
The billionaire CEO captioned the picture, “My bedside table,” which featured two guns, four cans for caffeine-free Diet Coke, and a recreation of Emanuel Leutze’s painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware River.
A picture of Washington is attached to the case holding one of the guns.
He added a self-criticism to the tweet, saying: “There’s no excuse for my lack of coasters.”
It is unclear whether Musk took the picture himself or whether it’s actually his bedside table.
Musk expressed support for the Second Amendment right to bear arms earlier this year after the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas — the deadliest elementary-school shooting since Sandy Hook.
“I strongly believe that the right to bear arms is an important safeguard against potential tyranny of government,” Musk told CNBC in an email. “Historically, maintaining their power over the people is why those in power did not allow public ownership of guns.”
He added that people who purchase guns should go through “tight background checks.”
Musk is also well known for his love of Diet Coke. In a 2007 interview, he told Inc. that at one point, he consumed eight cans of Diet Coke and a lot of coffee in a day to stay on top of his hectic schedule. Musk said his offices had only caffeine-free Diet Coke now.
On Saturday, Musk shared a series of slides on Twitter from a company talk he delivered about his vision for Twitter 2.0. The slides included graphs showing that sign-ups reached an average of 2 million a day, up 66% from a year ago. One of the slides said Twitter was recruiting.
In response to a tweet by Jordan Peterson about the slides, Musk said: “I think I see a path to Twitter exceeding a billion monthly users in 12 to 18 months.”
