Default Re:

It seems rather implausible that antigrav generators meant to reduce the need for hair gel would be up to the task of supporting something that big, but I'll let that pass. You still have to deal with the hat's mass. It won't press you into the floor, but every time you move you have to exert enough force to make the hat move with you. If my math is right and my estimate of the volume of an adult elephant isn't too far off, it's at least 100 metric tons. Even without having to overcome friction, that's a lot to move.
