@spacetourist0@k_alexsandronva Can anyone say with certainty that she told him to change? Maybe he didn’t feel like he was enough for this woman. Remember what his childhood was like. That left him with permanent damage. 😥
@spacetourist0@Grannina50 So true! Any woman worth her salt would be satisfied with how the 54 year old Elon looks. He is still a handsome man, has a wicked sense of humor, great personality, contagious laughter, he apparently can do whatever he sets his mind to, so what’s not to like? 🥰
During his relationship with Amber Heard, Elon Musk underwent a visible physical transformation that people close to him described as the most dramatic change they had ever seen. He lost weight. His wardrobe shifted from Silicon Valley standard (t shirts and jeans) toward something more tailored and fashion forward. His hair, which had thinned noticeably in the mid 2000s, appeared fuller than it had in a decade. The man who built his identity on function over form rebuilt his form for a woman.
The hair restoration is the detail that persists. Before Amber, photographs show visible thinning at the crown and a receding hairline that Elon did not appear to treat or conceal. During the Amber period, the hair was fuller, thicker, and styled differently than at any point in his adult life. Hair transplant surgeons have speculated publicly (without treating him) that the restoration likely involved multiple FUE transplant sessions costing $30,000 to $50,000 each. The man who considers most cosmetic concerns irrelevant invested significant money and time in his appearance because a woman he loved occupied a world where appearance was currency.
The wardrobe change was noted by colleagues. The t shirts were replaced by fitted jackets. The sneakers were replaced by leather boots. The man who dressed like an engineer in every photograph suddenly dressed like someone who had been styled. Because he had been. The styling was not his initiative. It was the natural consequence of inhabiting the world of a woman whose career was built on visual presentation. Amber's world was Hollywood. Elon entered it dressed like Hawthorne. The world corrected him.
The weight loss was the most concerning change for those close to him. Elon's natural build is stocky. The weight loss during the Amber period gave him a leaner appearance that friends described as looking "drawn." The motivation was presumably aesthetic. The result was a man who looked different enough that side by side photographs from 2014 (pre Amber) and 2017 (during Amber) appear to show two different people.
The transformation reversed after the breakup. The hair maintained its restored density (transplants are permanent). The wardrobe returned to t shirts. The weight returned. The man who had rebuilt his exterior to match his partner's world returned to his default state when the partner left. The renovation was for her. When she left, the renovation stopped.
Every subsequent partner (Grimes, Shivon) received the default version. The t shirts. The fluctuating weight. The function over form. The cosmetic renovation was performed once, for one woman, and never repeated. Amber received the version of Elon who tried to be beautiful. Everyone else received the version who doesn't think about it. The effort says more about what she meant to him than any public statement he ever made about the relationship.
Elon Musk: I'm a big believer in the principles of Christianity.
“While I'm not a particularly religious person, I do believe that the teachings of Jesus are good and wise and that there's tremendous wisdom in Turn the other cheek.
For a while, when I was young, I thought that's really a weak thing to do.
With respect to bullies at school, I think you shouldn't turn the other cheek. You should punch them on the nose and then thereafter make peace with them. They need to stop bullying you, and a punch in the nose will stop that.
This notion of forgiveness is important. I think it's essential because if you don't forgive, then an eye for an eye makes everyone blind. If you're going to seek vengeance, you have this never-ending cycle of vengeance.
So, I'm actually a big believer in the principles of Christianity. I think they're very good.”
