Steve Jobs wasn't really conventionally attractive (and to my knowledge didn't get any cosmetic surgeries) and still managed to make billions and a massive impact on the world.

Additionally I wonder what bald Elon looks like. Jeff Bezos put on some muscle and looks a lot better afterwards despite losing his hair



I'd beg to differ--I'd say he was maybe _the_ original sexy young tech startup founder, and his appearance was integral to his success as a marketer, leader, etc.. A lot of his early publicity shots are smoldering, e.g.: https://manwithoutqualities.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/stev...

He was also 6'2".


They had Ashton Kutcher play him in the movie for a reason.


Because they look like brothers.


I guess you're right, I only knew him from the iPod era onward and was basing my statement with that context in mind. Thanks for pointing this out


Steve Jobs wasn't exactly unattractive, though. He looks above average/handsome to me.
