Elon Musk Apparently Sleeps Next to Two Pistols—and Empty Coke Cans
The world’s richest man gave fans an unsettling glimpse of his bedside table.

Elon Musk’s commitment to erratic behavior looks to be a 24-hour thing, if his bedside table is anything to go by. The capricious billionaire shared a photo on Twitter early Monday showing his nightstand topped with a pair of pistols and four empty cans of caffeine-free Diet Coke. Several users identified one of the guns as a replica of a pistol that appears in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a dystopian sci-fi video game in which megacorporations exert tyrannical power over humanity. The other weapon in the image is housed in a wooden box decorated with what appears to be a print of Emanuel Leutze’s painting “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” “There is no excuse for my lack of coasters,” Musk wrote in a follow-up tweet.
