Damn, for having that much fucking money, he looks a fuck ton older than he could.
I genuinely thought he was like 62 or something, had yo Google his age and yeah, still 53.
That's a lousy 53.
Dude could afford to be in such good health just by hiring professionals to watch his diet and whatnot, yet he looks like someone filled a grocery store plastic bag with mac&cheese and gave it to an developmentally challenged 5-year old to make a face out of.
You're not wrong, but... I honestly know a lot of drug abusers of that age who seriously look much better than him. So it's not only drug abuse, it's also a shit diet and probably zero exercise.
Sure, being the richest asshole in the world probably is a bit stressful, but I think he's just a fucking slob, drub abuse or not.
hiring professionals to watch his diet and whatnot,
This is the part that is such a head-scratcher for me. He clearly cares about his outward appearance thanks to the million-dollar hair transplant and whatever meds he's on to keep it that way. But the rest? Yeah, I thought daily personal training, custom-built menus, personal chefs, and a personal assistant to keep that circus moving, were just SOP for rich bastards like this. It would seem that impulse and lack of foresight are traits that impact everything.
Alternatively, maybe what we're seeing is peak performance for Musk as an organism, and his overall health is actually way worse than we think.
