Trump Orders Resolute Desk Refurbishment After Elon Musk’s Son’s Visit

Washington, D.C.: President Donald Trump has ordered the removal of the iconic Resolute Desk from the Oval Office for refurbishment, just days after reports emerged that Elon Musk’s four-year-old son, Little X, may have wiped a booger on it during a White House visit.

According to The New York Post and New York Daily News, the incident occurred when Musk, in his capacity as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), visited Trump alongside his son. While there is no official confirmation linking the refurbishment to the visit, media speculation has drawn attention to the timing of the move.

Historic Desk Temporarily Replaced

The Resolute Desk, a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 as a symbol of goodwill, has been a centerpiece of the Oval Office for decades. Trump announced its temporary replacement in a social media post, stating:

"After an election, a President gets a choice of one in seven desks. The 'C&O' desk, which is also very well known and was used by President George H.W. Bush and others, has been temporarily installed in the White House while the Resolute Desk is being lightly refinished—a very important job. This is a beautiful, but temporary replacement!"

The C&O desk, originally built in 1920 for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway’s proprietors, was later donated to the White House and has now been placed in the Oval Office during the refinishing process.

Elon Musk’s Son and White House Visit

Little X was present at a White House press briefing where Trump signed an executive order expanding Musk’s role in government efficiency reforms. While introducing him, Trump praised Musk’s son, saying, “This is X, and he's a great guy—a high IQ individual.”

Videos from the event showing Little X mimicking his father and allegedly picking his nose went viral, sparking online discussions. Though Trump, known for his strong aversion to germs, did not directly reference the incident, the coincidental timing of the desk’s refurbishment has fueled speculation.

As the Resolute Desk undergoes restoration, the C&O desk now temporarily serves as the Oval Office’s primary workspace—continuing a long tradition of presidential desk rotations.
