Donald Trump’s press secretary defended Elon Musk’s clothes after Volodymyr Zelensky was mocked for not wearing a suit during the chaotic meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents in the White House last week.
While addressing reporters on Wednesday, 5 March, Karoline Leavitt was asked to clarify the Oval Office dress code after Mr Zelensky was criticised for his outfit choice after the billionaire showed up in the same location wearing jeans and a T-shirt reading “tech support” paired with a Make America Great Again (MAGA) baseball cap.
“Well, Elon Musk wore a suit last night... I think the president liked that very much,” Ms Leavitt said, referring to Mr Musk’s appearance at Mr Trump’s Congress speech.
