What kind of revolver is that I need it
It is a Mustang Arms.357 Magnum from the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. If Elon put that gun there it's not about that gun but some story element(s) within the Deus Ex games. All of the Deus Ex games explore the world's elite and media manipulating society at various levels. A deeper dive is mostly likely required.
Specifically, the gun is called a 'Diamond Back .357'...
...as in "if you get caught stealing, you have to give the DIAMONDS BACK."

(As pictured, the gun is not there as a weapon. The trigger is removed, and the cylinder is broken open. It's only there to convey the name 'Diamond Back'.)
Thats interesting because the Tibetan ritual wepon on the stand, called a Vajra, symbolizes a Dimond (unbreakable) and a thunderbolt (irresistible force)
While context ALWAYS needs to be taken into account, and I have zero background in Hinduism, in Comms:
diamonds = blackmail 'stored forever' (diamonds are forever)
lightning bolt = edict to destroy being handed down from the top
