A recent photo of former President Donald Trump in the Oval Office is drawing attention—not only because he is holding a model of Boom Aero’s futuristic supersonic jet, the Overture One, but also due to a surprising figure reflected in the background.
In the image, Trump, 78, smiles while holding a sleek model of the Overture One, an innovative supersonic aircraft often called the “son of the Concorde.” Developed by Boom Aero, the jet aims to revolutionize air travel with speeds exceeding Mach 1. Earlier this year, its prototype, the XB-1, successfully broke the sound barrier, reaching speeds around 844 mph.
Boom Aero CEO Blake Scholl shared the photo along with exciting news for aviation fans: the Overture One model is now available for pre-order through the company’s official merchandise store. Scholl confirmed that the models are proudly made in the USA and are expected to ship starting in July.
While many focused on the supersonic jet, sharp-eyed viewers noticed an unexpected detail in the photo’s background. Reflected in a mirror behind Trump was none other than tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. His presence in the reflection caught social media by surprise, sparking reactions ranging from amusement to curiosity.
Musk’s cameo is timely, as he was recently appointed co-leader of the new Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE), a federal initiative aimed at improving government operations. Trump humorously praised Musk’s appointment, saying, “I couldn’t find anyone smarter.”
With Musk’s involvement in government reform and the Overture One jet representing a potential future of air travel, this photo hints at a dynamic partnership focused on innovation and progress.
Whether it’s supersonic jets or government efficiency, the combination of Trump and Musk suggests an ambitious push toward the future—moving at nearly Mach speed.
