Hair is an important topic for Elon Musk: There has been speculation for a long time that the Tesla boss once underwent a hair transplant. Now Musk shows himself with a new hairstyle – and many people are anything but enthusiastic.
During his time at PayPal, Elon Musk’s hair became increasingly thinner. Old photos show how the skin shimmered through more and more, especially on the head, and the hairline shifted significantly upwards. In the meantime there is hardly anything left to be seen. That’s why Elon Musk’s speculation about a hair transplant has risen again and again.

Elon Musk: Tesla boss surprises with new hairstyle
Now, however, Musk surprises with a completely new look: Instead of his relatively inconspicuous and civil standard cut, Musk was photographed with a completely new and unfamiliar hairstyle on a trip to Miami. On the excursion, on which he arrived with a private jet and accompanied by his son X Æ A-XII, the Tesla boss surprised with a mohawk.
In the eyes of many users, the decision for a new hairstyle was not necessarily the best of the unconventional company boss. One user wrote: “It looks like he had his hair cut so that it looks like a wig.” The criticism from another user who summarizes the hairstyle is not much better than “the official haircut when you are surrounded by people who never say no to you.” Another Twitter user asks, “Why spend thousands of dollars on a hair transplant just to get this hairstyle? Help me understand @elonmusk!”
Elon Musk’s new haircut was often associated with the start of the new Tesla factory in Berlin. Several Twitter users joked that “based on his hairstyle” would probably open Berlin next – after all, Berlin, with its techno scene and the charm that is not always immediately recognizable, would be a suitable template for such a wild hairstyle.
What Elon Musk thought with his new hairstyle is not yet known. He has not yet commented on this.
