A new photo of Donald Trump at the White House has gone viral due to a surprising detail in the background. In the image, Trump stands smiling in front of five presidential portraits, holding a model plane. However, if you zoom in, Elon Musk’s reflection appears in a gold-framed mirror behind Trump’s shoulder.
Social media users reacted instantly. One called it “easily one of the funniest pictures I’ve ever seen.” Others found it unsettling, with comments like “Creepy AF!!!” and “That is so creepy.” Some even joked that Musk was the “worst babysitter ever” and a “puppet master.”
The photo surfaced shortly after Trump and Musk’s interview with Sean Hannity, where they publicly supported each other. Amid speculation about Musk’s influence over Trump, critics dubbed him “President Musk.” However, Musk dismissed such claims, saying, “I love the president, I just want to be clear about that.”
Musk praised Trump, stating, “The president has been so unfairly attacked in the media, it’s really outrageous.” Trump returned the favor, calling Musk “a brilliant guy” with “tremendous scientific imagination” and adding, “He’s also a very good person.”
The viral image has only added fuel to ongoing debates about Musk’s role in Trump’s political circle.
