Another user shared a meme-worthy comparison between Musk and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, both spotted in cheesehead hats, asking: "Who Wears the Cheese Hat Better? Cardinal Dolan? Elon Musk?"

Others were simply jealous. "Not going to lie, I want this cheese hat," one person tweeted, while another chimed in with, "How much is a signed cheese hat worth? Any guesses?"

Why It Matters: The hat toss came during a controversial rally where Musk handed out two $1 million checks to Wisconsin voters amid a heated Supreme Court election.

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, filed a lawsuit to prevent the distribution, claiming it breached state laws that forbid offering gifts in return for votes. In response, Musk's legal team argued that Kaul was infringing on Musk's political expression and restricting his First Amendment rights.

This Wisconsin election has set a record as the costliest judicial race in U.S. history and has emerged as a key political battleground.

While political analysts debate legality, the cheese hat is winning the internet.
