Elon Musk Shares Oval Office Photo Wearing Massive MAGA Hat
Elon Musk has once again sparked controversy after sharing a photo of himself inside the Oval Office, wearing an oversized “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO posted the image on his X platform late Thursday, where he can be seen grinning in front of President Donald Trump’s iconic Resolute Desk.
Social Media Frenzy and Background Details
The photo quickly went viral, with social media users dissecting every detail. Notably, a replica of the FIFA World Cup trophy was visible in the background, likely referencing the 2026 tournament, which the U.S. is set to co-host. Also spotted on the desk was a small object resembling a pager, similar to those recently gifted to Trump by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Musk’s Role in the Trump Administration
Musk’s relationship with the Trump administration has taken a new turn following his appointment as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This task force, created under Trump’s directive, aims to cut federal spending by up to $2 trillion.
One of Musk’s most contentious moves has been his push to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which provides humanitarian aid to over 100 countries. He has publicly labeled the agency a “criminal organization” that should be abolished, according to reports from The New York Post.
In a further escalation, DOGE recently gained access to the Treasury’s payment system, allegedly attempting to halt funding to USAID. This decision has drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers and civil servants, leading to a federal judge restricting DOGE’s access to specific individuals within the agency.
Calls for Investigation
Senior Democratic lawmakers have demanded an investigation into potential national security breaches, expressing concerns that Musk and his team may have accessed classified government data. The scrutiny is particularly focused on DOGE’s activities within the Office of Personnel Management, the U.S. Treasury, and USAID.
While the White House continues to defend Musk’s role, insisting that he is acting within the president’s directive to improve government efficiency, critics argue that his actions reflect an attempt to consolidate power rather than genuine fiscal reform. As investigations loom, the controversy surrounding Musk’s involvement in government affairs shows no signs of fading.
