President Donald Trump has announced a temporary alteration in the furnishings of the Oval Office, swapping out the legendary Resolute Desk for a C&O desk.

This decision comes in the wake of a recent event involving Elon Musk's son, X Æ A-Xii, during a press briefing about a new executive order aimed at enhancing government efficiency.

X Æ A-Xii, affectionately known as 'X' by his father, was in the Oval Office when he drew media attention by making various noises and engaging in actions such as nose-picking while standing near the Resolute Desk.

On his social media platform, Truth Social, President Trump posted a picture of the newly placed C&O desk, explaining that it is a temporary substitute while the Resolute Desk is receiving light refinishing, a process he deemed significant.

According to the president, this desk installation is standard procedure, as he indicated that a president usually has a selection of desks post-election.

In his accompanying message, he underscored the historical importance of the C&O desk, which has been used by former presidents, including George H.W. Bush.

He also mentioned that the Resolute Desk, a present from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880, was made from oak taken from the British vessel H.M.S. Resolute.

It has been an essential part of presidential history, employed by every president since Hayes, except for Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford.

The Resolute Desk was first introduced to the Oval Office during John F. Kennedy's administration in 1961. The recent event has ignited discussions online, particularly regarding the footage of Elon Musk's son mimicking his father in an official governmental context.

Trump described X as a 'great guy—a high IQ individual' when introducing him at the briefing.
