WASHINGTON D.C: US President Donald Trump has decided to remove the famous 150-year-old Resolute Desk from the Oval Office for some repairs. This comes just days after reports suggested that Elon Musk’s four-year-old son, known as "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, Musk and his son were visiting Trump when the incident happened. Reports claim that Little X was caught picking his nose and wiping it on the Resolute Desk after whispering something to Trump.

Although Trump, who is known for being very particular about cleanliness, didn’t mention the incident directly, he explained the desk replacement in a social media post. He wrote, "A President, after the election, gets to choose from one of seven desks."

Trump added that the new desk, called the "C&O Desk," has been used by past presidents like George H.W. Bush. He assured that the Resolute Desk was just being lightly refinished and would return soon. "This is a beautiful, but temporary replacement!" he said.

Musk’s son was present at a White House press briefing about a new executive order related to Musk’s government role. While introducing him, Trump said, "This is X, and he's either a great guy or a high-IQ individual." Videos of Little X copying his father’s mannerisms and picking his nose quickly went viral online.
