‘Powerful weapon’ hidden in Elon Musk’s bedside table photo

A mysterious object known as one of the “most powerful weapons” in the world has been spotted in a photo of Elon Musk’s bedside table.

An object regarded as one of the “most powerful weapons in the universe” is hidden in plain sight as a decoration on Elon Musk’s alleged bedside table.

Musk shared a picture of his night stand decor to his 119 million Twitter followers on Monday, which featured a pair of prop guns, four opened caffeine-free Diet Coke cans, a water bottle and an uncommon object linked to Hinduism.

The billionaire captioned the image: “My bedside table.”

He captioned a follow-up tweet: “no excuse for my lack of coasters,” noting the ring stains on his table left behind by his beverages, The Sun reports.

Internet sleuths quickly identified Musk’s table decors as a replica gun from the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a sci-fi game where megacorporations exert tyrannical power over humanity.

The other prop gun, lying inside a wooden box, was a replica George Washington flintlock pistol featuring the 1851 painting of the first president crossing the Delaware River.

However, the one object that stood out to sleuths was what appeared to be a vajra – a legendary ritual weapon that holds symbolic meaning in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

A vajra represents “indestructible power” in Buddhism, according to Tricycle, The Buddhist Review – while being considered one of the “most powerful weapons in the universe” in Hinduism.

In Tibetan Buddhism, the vajra, bell, and mala (prayer beads) are the three most important ritual objects.

The vajra represents method, while the bell represents wisdom.

According to Hindu mythology, the vajra is the weapon of Indra, the Vedic king of the devas and heaven.

The two-headed club often appears as a weapon, like the lightning bolt of the northern European god Thor or the southern European god Zeus.

Many of Musk’s Twitter loyalists gushed over the fact that the billionaire sleeps with a vajra on his bedside, saying: “You have the vajra me too,” while snapping a picture of their two-headed club.

Another person praised the object saying, commenting: “Nice vajra.”

“What is lord indra vajra doing on your bed side table,” questioned a third commenter.

While the vajra sits on Musk’s night stand, the tech mogul has never been vocal about his religious beliefs.
