Elon Musk trolled for posing in Oval Office wearing massive MAGA hat: 'He forgot his sink'

WASHINGTON, DC: Elon Musk has once again become the center of controversy, this time after sharing a photo of himself wearing an oversized 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) hat while posing in the middle of the Oval Office.

The billionaire tech mogul posted the image late Friday, January 7, on his social media platform, X, and it quickly went viral. In the picture, Musk is seen beaming with a wide grin as he stands in front of President Donald Trump's desk.

Elon Musk's MAGA hat completely dwarfs his head

The massive MAGA hat, which completely dwarfs his head, has quickly become a focal point of online discussion. Social media users mock the size of the hat and question the context behind the photo. Musk did not provide any explanation or background for the unusual image, leaving many puzzled.

Eagle-eyed users on X were quick to notice the intriguing details in the background of the photo, offering a rare glimpse into the revamped Oval Office. Notably, a replica of the football World Cup trophy is visible on a table behind Trump’s desk.

This has drawn attention as the US prepares to host the 2026 World Cup, with many seeing the trophy as a symbol of the upcoming event. Alongside the trophy, a handful of framed portraits can be seen.

Some social media users also pointed out a tiny object in the middle of the Resolute Desk, which they speculated could resemble one of the pagers Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently gifted Trump.

These pagers were reportedly used in a targeted attack to eliminate Hezbollah terrorists, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the image.

The photo follows a series of high-profile appearances by Musk near Trump. The billionaire has taken on a significant role in Trump’s administration, particularly as the head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, the New York Post reported.

The department's mission is to slash federal spending by as much as $2 trillion, a goal that has generated considerable attention.
