Elon Musk’s Double-Hat Moment Lights Up the Internet
Elon Musk has once again stirred headlines—not for rockets or AI talk, but for his unexpected wardrobe choice at a recent White House cabinet meeting.
The Hat That Stole the Show
Seated in the Cabinet Room, Musk wore a bold red “Gulf of America” cap, referencing Donald Trump’s past renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. The cap’s design mirrored the familiar “Make America Great Again” style, complete with the numbers “45 – 47,” nodding to Trump’s unique back-to-back presidential roles.
However, Musk didn’t stop there.
Layered Caps Spark Laughs
In circulating video clips, Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), stacked the red cap over a black one. Just before speaking, he removed both, drawing chuckles online.
Trump couldn’t resist commenting. “Elon, love the double hat, by the way. He’s the only guy who can pull that off,” Trump quipped. Musk, grinning, shot back, “Well, Mr. President, I wear a lot of hats. Even my hat wears a hat!”
Social Media Reacts
Almost instantly, the moment went viral. “Double Hat Day” began trending across Facebook and TikTok. Users flooded platforms with jokes about the surreal image of Musk stacking hats during an official meeting.
Yet, the hats weren’t the only focus.
Mysterious Neck Mark Fuels Speculation
Sharp-eyed viewers noticed what appeared to be a scar or mark on Musk’s neck.
Speculation spread quickly:
-
“Did Elon have surgery?” one user asked.
-
“Is that a cut? What happened to his neck?” another wondered.
Some critics went further, questioning whether Musk’s casual look was appropriate for a formal government setting.
A History of Making Headlines
This isn’t Musk’s first viral White House moment. Back in February, he posted a dramatic photo on X, arms outstretched in the Oval Office, wearing an oversized red MAGA cap. That image, paired with his usual black attire, quickly turned into a meme.
By March, his unconventional style even reached the press briefing room. Reporters questioned why Musk could appear so casually dressed, especially when Ukrainian President Zelenskyy faced criticism for not wearing a suit. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied with a laugh, “He did last night.” She added, “The president seemed to like it just fine.”
Musk: Tech Titan or Pop Culture Icon?
For now, Musk continues to blur the lines between tech mogul, political player, and internet spectacle. Whether shaping policy or sparking memes, he keeps the public buzzing. His latest appearance—stacked hats and mysterious scars—adds another strange yet unforgettable chapter to his evolving public image.
