New York:
On Monday, Tesla owner Elon Musk appeared at Donald Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden wearing a strange hat.
The official “Make America Great Again” or “MAGA” hat is red with white text. However, the uniform Musk was wearing was black with embroidered text in the irregular font typically associated with heavy metal bands and newspapers.
“I’m a dark, goth MAGA person,” Musk said.
But the Internet read it differently. The font on Musk’s hat looks suspiciously similar to the font used in Nazi typography, or “Black Letter.”

According to a report by FastCompany magazine, Cheryl Jacobsen, an assistant professor of lettering at the University of Iowa, said black letters were used in Germany as a popular style for the Bible. Regardless, during the rise of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party re-adopted the line as a sign of its nationalism. It also appears on the cover of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf.
The font is now a relic of the past, abandoned after the Nazis abandoned it due to unfounded rumors about its Jewish origins.
Internet sleuths have a lot to say about this issue. One While another commented: “Extending this. It’s literally Old English font. You can’t refer to serifs.”
According to the New York Times, John Kelly, former President Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, made a striking statement, asserting that Donald Trump embodies the definition of a fascist. “The former president is definitely from the far-right area, he’s definitely an authoritarian, he admires people who are dictatorial – he said that. So he definitely falls within the general definition of a fascist, for sure,” he said.
Having said that, Trump, the MAGA boss, said on Monday that “the latest line from Kamala and her campaign is that everyone who doesn’t vote for her is a Nazi.” “I’m not a Nazi. I’m the opposite of a Nazi.”
