Elon Musk’s Double Hat Moment at the White House Goes Viral

At a recent White House cabinet meeting, Elon Musk drew attention — not for AI or space talk, but for his headwear. Musk sported a bright red “Gulf of America” cap, echoing Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” style, complete with the numbers “45 – 47” referencing Trump’s non-consecutive presidencies.

But the real twist? Musk stacked the red cap on top of a black one, removing both in a dramatic flourish before speaking. Cameras caught the moment, and social media erupted. Trump quipped, “I adore the double hat. Only he can pull that off.” Musk grinned: “I wear a lot of hats. My hat has a hat!”

TikTok, Facebook, and X filled with memes, dubbing it “Double Hat Day.” Some viewers spotted what seemed to be a scar on Musk’s neck, fueling speculation. Critics also debated whether his casual style was appropriate for a formal government setting.

This isn’t Musk’s first viral White House look — earlier this year, he shared a photo in an oversized red MAGA hat in the Oval Office. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt brushed off concerns, saying, “The president seemed to like it just fine.”

Love him or hate him, Musk continues blending politics, tech, and showmanship — and keeping the internet talking.
