Elon Musk’s mysterious neck mark sparks reactions online

Elon Musk turned heads at a White House cabinet meeting—not with policy, but with fashion. Wearing a red “Gulf of America” cap (a nod to Trump’s renaming of the Gulf of Mexico) stacked atop a black hat, Musk sparked both laughs and confusion. The red cap echoed Trump’s iconic “MAGA” style and was emblazoned with “45 – 47,” referencing Trump’s non-consecutive presidencies. Musk, now head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), quipped, “I wear a lot of hats. Even my hat wears a hat!” Trump responded: “He’s the only one who can get away with that.” Social media dubbed it “Double Hat Day,” but viewers were also distracted by what looked like a scar on Musk’s neck, prompting speculation and concern. Others criticized his informal attire at a formal event. This isn’t Musk’s first fashion stir in D.C.—in February, he posed in the Oval Office wearing a massive red MAGA hat. When asked about his casual dress code, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shrugged it off, saying, “The president liked it very much.” Musk’s latest antics continue to blur the lines between tech, politics, and performance art
