However, this was not the only controversy which has hit Elon Musk. The text of the ‘MAGA’ Cap which Elon Musk wore had an eerie semblance to Hitler’s Nazi Font.
The “MAGA” cap Musk wore was black with the text embroidered in an irregular font. Elon Musk quipped that it was dark gothic MAGA. However netizens felt differently and found it warily similar to the ones used for Nazi typography or “blackletter”.
Originally used in Germany as a folk style for the Bible, it was adopted by the Nazi party as a sign of its nationalism and also featured on the cover of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf.
