Donald Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Elon Musk’s casual outfit after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faced criticism for not wearing a suit during his White House meeting with Trump. The contrast in dress codes sparked debate, especially after Musk appeared in jeans, a ‘tech support’ T-shirt, and a MAGA cap during his Oval Office visit. Addressing reporters on March 5, Leavitt noted that Musk had worn a suit the night before at Trump’s Congress speech, adding that the former president "liked that very much."
