Elon Musk has gone from bullied science nerd to the world’s richest man and, no doubt, eligible bachelor. According to insiders, his bank balance has afforded him the opportunity to “glow up.”
This includes rumours of plastic surgery, hair transplant, and even his own admission of being on the weight loss drug Ozempic.
Elon and his siblings were born in Pretoria to Errol and Maye Musk. At the age of 18, he emigrated to Canada and later settled in the US.
ELON MUSK TRANSFORMATION: PLASTIC SURGERY, HAIR TRANSPLANT?
In recent weeks, Elon Musk’s “chiselled” and “toned” features have been the talk of the town on his own social media app, X.
According to plastic surgeon Smita Ramanadham, she believes the world’s richest man has undergone subtle facial fillers or Botox treatments for “anti-aging.”
She told MailOnline: “’He looks very natural. I certainly would not say that he’s overdone it or it looks too done”.
Another surgeon, Jordan Turner, agreed. He said, “I think that is what he actually had done. He was looking a little droopy and more gaunt, especially in his mid-space, and now he looks lifted and tight. And this jawline looks so much better.”
According to Vanity, Elon Musk – who is 53 years old – may have undergone a nose job and possibly a facelift.
Although he’s never confirmed or denied it, many male clinics also believe Elon has had a hair transplant over the years, judging by his now luscious locks.
ON THE OZEMPIC TRAIN
Elon Musk has also notably lost weight over the years.
By his own admission, this is a mixture of working out in the gym with his personal trainer and his love of martial arts, including Judo, Kyokushin karate, and Taekwondo.
According to the South African-born businessman, Wegovy, also known as Ozempic or Semoglutide, that is used to treat type two diabetes – is also his quick fix.
When asked “What’s your secret?” on “Twitter Tuesday” by a follower who complimented his “fit and ripped” physique, Musk responded: “Fasting and Wegovy”. He added: “No tasty food near me”.
