Elon Musk is many things, but one of those things is not a cowboy. Another one of those things is a successful Twitter/X livestreamer. But as seen in this video at the Mexican/American border broadcast from his account on Twitter/X, the platform he now owns, he was trying and failing to be both.

Musk visited the southern border of the United States “to see what’s really going on” and conducted a livestream meant to expose and report.

But rather than stun people with his intrepid reporting, the stream was filled with glitches galore, freezing mid-stream. This isn’t the first time this happened so publicly on Musk’s platform. Glitches plagued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) when he used Twitter/X to officially announce that he was running for president in May.

That was also the second video. In the first one, he wore a jaunty cowboy hat.

But here’s what happens when you don’t research your cosplay: you get mocked for wearing your hat backwards.

Despite claims on X, however, Musk may not have been wearing his hat backwards. Insider spoke to a Stetson expert who said that, at one point at least, it “looks like” Musk is wearing the hat the correct way.

New York Times tech reporter Ryan Mac covered Musk’s field trip and found out that after the livestream failed to live up to his journalistic expectations, the CEO sent a company-wide email containing exactly three words: “Please fix this.” Mac also wondered if Musk took his hat off because people told him it was on backwards.
