DRESSED FOR THE OCASSION

MAGA Thirsts for a Dolled-Up Elon Musk on Fox News

The world’s richest man donned an Air Force Academy jacket for a sit-down with Sean Hannity.

The president led the way in showering a “so hot” Elon Musk with praise after he went on Fox News while wearing an old Air Force Academy jacket on Tuesday.

Musk’s interview with Sean Hannity came on the heels of SpaceX, a company he founded and remains CEO of, having an integral role in bringing home two astronauts who were stranded at the International Space Station for nine months.

“Wow. What a great interview of Elon Musk by Sean Hannity,” Donald Trump posted to Truth Social. “A must watch. TWO GREAT AMERICANS!”

That sentiment was echoed across MAGA, which included some noting the South African-born Musk—who ditched his typical t-shirt, blazer, and hat to dress for the occasion—was looking good in his U.S. military academy wear.

“Elon Musk on Hannity is so hot right now,” wrote one woman. “I love him.”

Another added succinctly: “Musk is extremely attractive.”

A man pondered on X where he could get his hands on the jacket and another said of the get-up, “Mr. Elon Musk looks great in that blue starship jacket.”

Critics of Musk were not such big fans of the garb, however, with one mocking him for rocking the jacket to “pretend” he is “part of a team.” That possible cosplaying comes as Musk has hit at federal judges ruling against Trump for allegedly doing the same.

“They are obviously activist politicians cosplaying as judges,” Musk wrote Wednesday on X. He added in another post, “An activist judge is no judge at all, just someone wearing a costume.”

Critics of Musk suggested he may have been trying to look like an astronaut Wednesday—mere weeks after he went to battle online with some of the lauded profession’s most prominent figures.

“Is Musk trying to look like an astronaut now with that jacket,” wrote one user on X. “Why is he opining on anything political beyond his illegal DOGE activities?”

Musk’s jacket is associated with Cadet Squadron 19, which was nicknamed Starship 19 because its members were fans of Star Trek in the ‘70s. Musk has donned the piece of clothing previously, including at a Pennsylvania town hall in October where he revealed it was gifted to him by the U.S. Space Force.

The world’s richest man was live on Fox News for nearly 20 minutes Tuesday. In that time, between giving repeated thank yous to Hannity for his constant praise, Musk alleged Joe Biden’s administration had turned down SpaceX’s offers to help to get the astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore home last year.

Many, like the TPUSA founder and right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk, echoed that claim and gave Musk and Trump credit for bringing the pair home.

Even the former NASA astronaut Dr. Charles Camarda, who has appeared on Fox News as far back as last summer, credited Musk specifically for rescuing the astronauts and, apparently, the entire U.S. space program.

“Elon Musk saved the U.S. space program,” he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Tuesday. “If it weren’t for Elon Musk, we would not be able to fly U.S. Astronauts from U.S. soil to the International Space Station. There is no doubt about it.”
