Elon Musk hints at new hairstyle
Elon Musk seems to be drawing inspiration from his old hairstyle. The tech billionaire posted a photo of himself on Sunday, March 16, with a hairstyle that resembled his 2021 look.
In this photo he can be seen with his son X Æ A-Xii, fondly known as Lil X. He captioned it, "Going back to this haircut", suggesting that he may be getting a new hairstyle similar to this, per Irish Star.

This unconventional hairstyle of Musk's had gone viral in 2021, with social media users comparing it to Adolf Hitler and Kim Jong Un's haircuts. Musk at that time had buzz cut the sides and bottom of his hair while there was a good amount of hair on the top of his head.

“The state of my children's lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day.
