He has talked about appreciating good style.

At the 2022 Met Gala, Musk said, “I love fashion.

Footage of the visit went viral for Musk appearing to be wearing his cowboy hat backwards.

He paired it with a black t-shirt and a pair of shiny aviator sunglasses.

That is backwards,” one person explained onX.

There was plenty of banter on social media, with netizens roasting Musk for his fashion choice.

Some found issues with the throw in of hat Musk was wearing.

“Also, he’s wearing a felt hat in straw hat season.

It was 96 degrees on the border today.

Texans notice these things,” oneXuser said.

Whether he was wearing it the right way or not, it does seem a bit like cosplay.

He was accompanied by his mother Maye Musk who was wearing a velvet dress and long strands of pearls.

At an event that’s all about over the top fashion, Elon looked fine.

But nothing more than that.

The VogueXaccount posted about Elon’s arrival with his mother to the red carpet.

“He described his look as ‘just following the dress code,'” they said.

However, the outlet didn’t include a photo of Elon and Maye.

They also didn’t tag him or his mother.

Innocent slip up during a busy time?

Or a hint that they weren’t a fan of his outfit?

That sounds like it could be the start of a joke, but it very much happened in 2022.

What does make us laugh is the fit of Musk’s suit.

“Seriously, what’s going on with Elon’s trousers???”

There doesn’t seem to be a good answer for that one.

They weren’t the only one who thought Musk was taking a page from Donald Trump’s style playbook.

Trump’s suits often seem to not quite fit him properly.

News believed the costume was from.

We hope that Musk rented it because he should not be wearing that again, even for Halloween.

Others just didn’t like the vibe.

“Little old for superhero cosplay aren’t we?”

Musk also seemed to confuse some people.

“What is your costume supposed to be?

Otherwise I’d think you’re being a lobster,” one criticwrote.

And yet he kept it on.

“Elon is so cringe & uncomfortable …” one personwroteabout the look.

Ball caps are meant to hug the head not sit on top of it."

Then there were those who think he has to wear a big hat to protect his hair.
