The double-hat stunt and the mysterious neck mark, however, garnered the most attention and caused confusion and laughter from people of all political persuasions.

Musk has previously made a statement at the White House. He shared a picture of himself in the Oval Office in February, posing with his arms extended and sporting an enormous red MAGA hat on X. The picture swiftly went viral on the internet, complete with his trademark black outfit.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt laughed when asked why Musk was permitted to wear such casual attire to high-level meetings, particularly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy came under fire for not wearing a suit: “He did last night.” “I think the president liked it very much,” she continued.
In his double-layered headgear and tech mogul bluster, Musk is still a mystery. His most recent appearance further blurs the boundaries between satire, celebrity, and government; every public gesture he makes feeds rumors, memes, and commentary.
