        The kind of man Elon wants to be has hair on his head. There’s many ways to be a man and Elon wants a specific one.

        I think sometimes folks just go overboard and end up making what would be valid points into easily dismissed statements. Given our societal norms, hair would be more gender affirming if an individual is presenting as feminine. A better example for men would be treatment for low t.

        Baldness in men is seen as a failing somehow despite it being largely uncontrollable.

        Him getting his hair done to feel more attractive and like himself is affirming surgery.

        You are not wrong that anyone can get hair restoration and any human type can have hairloss. Male pattern baldness is another category.

        The thing people are saying this is about him modifying his body to be happier but trying to deny others the ability to so so legally.

    Hm. That would insinuate that Trump is Jesus, and that’s not the message I feel we should be sending.

    I can’t believe I googled this.

    For those like me, I found that this does not seem to have even a shred of truth—there is no alternate reconstituted face of Judas, nor is this one mentioned anywhere.

      Well what the hell were they actually going to base it off of. I don’t think there’s any churches claiming the skull of Judas as one of their relics.

        There is no evidence for the Jesus pictures either, but I at least assumed it was another one of those half baked renditions based on genetic data from the region and basic biblical descriptions.

    Elon Musk without hair looks like a smarmy ancient Egyptian bureaucrat who is way in over his head and ends up being executed shortly after being told to perform a routine task.

    I would normally kneejerk at any mention of Christianity but since it’s our favorite whipping boy I’ll go with it.

    I think that the comparison to Judas Iscariot is unfair. Judas got dealt a lousy hand in life, having to play the role of a snitch to fulfill a divine prophecy. He suffered pangs of conscience for betraying J.C., so he unsuccessfully tried to return the blood money that he received. He was so upset with the situation that he hanged himself. (That instantly makes me think of the M*A*S*H theme.)

    Judas Iscariot is better than Elon Musk in every way imaginable. It’s not even a contest.

      Matthew says he hanged himself, Luke (in Acts) says he…bought a field and burst open in it.

      Acts 1 18:

      “With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out”

      Doesn’t change your point really I just think it’s a fun inconsistency to think about. One option so much weirder than the other.
