Elon Musk made headlines during a White House cabinet meeting—not for policy, but for his unusual wardrobe. Sporting a red “Gulf of America” cap referencing Trump’s controversial renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, Musk layered it over a black hat, joking, “My hat has a hat!”
Trump quipped, “Elon, I love your double hat,” prompting social media to explode with memes and the trending phrase “Double Hat Day.” Some viewers, however, were more focused on what appeared to be a scar on Musk’s neck, sparking speculation and concern.
Critics also questioned Musk’s casual attire for a formal meeting, recalling his viral February photo in the Oval Office wearing an oversized MAGA hat. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt brushed off decorum concerns, saying, “The president liked it.”
Musk’s stunt once again blurred the line between politics, celebrity, and satire—leaving the public both amused and bewildered.
