Elon Musk wore the same outfit he promised to wear last year if President Trump won and DOGE started operating.

He looks super cool with glasses and a gold chain around his neck! 😎 https://t.co/cJFPRrXyis pic.twitter.com/1jnG4A3NLq

Critics argued that Musk struggled to form coherent sentences, and while Grimes was a hot topic online, the second most discussed subject on X was “ketamine,” as the platform was flooded with speculation that the billionaire had taken the drug.

At least there’s now an explanation for his sunglasses—Musk clarified that wearing them was tied to a pledge he made in 2024, promising to do so if Donald Trump won another term as President.

During yet another viral speech, Musk backed Trump’s controversial assertion that the gold reserves at Fort Knox might not be real. The former president had stated his intention to personally inspect the military facility to verify the gold’s presence, while Musk took it further at CPAC, saying: *”We just wanna see it and make sure somebody didn’t spray paint lead or something.”*

Following Musk on stage was former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, who has been openly critical of him, referring to Musk as a *”parasitic illegal immigrant”* who *”wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values or traditions.”* Some had anticipated a dramatic confrontation between the two, akin to a Mike Tyson vs. Logan Paul-style showdown, but they never appeared together.

Despite the controversy, Musk received some of the loudest applause of the event, earning multiple standing ovations from the audience.
