The MAGA hat didn't help
I should have wear it

You probably have personality issues. Sorry to say it. You could be the best programmer or ML guru in the world, but if you’re an arrogant jerk or something like that, no one will want to work with you.
I’m trying to be humble, showing enough respect to everyone especially executives, meanwhile being confident while being asked about questions of domain that I’m familiar with
Company?
Sounds like it was at Google.
How do you know the reason for the reject? Recruiter told you? Just saying "culture fit" is almost worse than saying nothing at all
Culture fits are the most inaccurate part of the entire interview process. How is random hobo joe the interviewer supposed to be a culture expert. What even is culture? Completely arbitrary and meaningless, even with “principles”. And then to think an interviewer could accurately detect culture fit, assuming they even know wtf that means, is ridiculous. How about we rename it to “get the interviewer to like you” and just call it for it is. Nothing more than a brown nose test.
You screwed something up, big time. Lied about something, or seemed racist/sexist, talked over your interviewer or otherwise came off as an arrogant jackass...
Unfortunately, while you can improve technical skills over time and re interview, it seems likely that that culture fit flag will stick around...
I don’t think so, I’m trying to be very humble for most of the time, but while being asked about my domain knowledge, I can’t control myself from being confident
