Elon Musk's MAGA Hat Sparks Controversy Over Nazi Font Resemblance

Musk's choice of a blackletter font at a Trump rally raises questions about its historical associations with Nazi Germany.

Elon Musk attended a Trump rally wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat with a font resembling blackletter, historically linked to Nazi Germany.
Critics argue the font on Musk's hat is similar to Fraktur, a typeface used in Nazi propaganda, though experts say it is not the same.
Cheryl Jacobsen, a lettering professor, explains blackletter's origins in German folk style, noting its complex historical associations.
Florian Hardwig, a typography expert, clarifies that the font on Musk's hat is likely a modernized Old English, not directly tied to Nazism.
The controversy highlights the sensitivity around symbols and their historical context, as Musk's provocative choice stirs public debate.
