Money may be everything -or almost everything -to most people across the world, but even the richest man on earth has at least one person he obviously looks up to as a role model.
Put short, while most see in him the ultimate of who they aspire to be, the world’s richest sees another as who he aspires to look like.
A single image by football megastar Cristiano Ronaldo was enough to ignite conversation across social media, with world’s richest man Elon Musk joining in.
Ronaldo shared a post-sauna photo showcasing his famously sculpted physique, and among the millions who noticed it was Musk.
The tech multi-billionaire left a light-hearted comment under the post, joking, “Guess I need to work out.”
Trolls and fans quickly joined in, flooding Musk’s comment section with memes and edits that pushed the joke even further.
Some users digitally swapped Cristiano Ronaldo’s face onto Musk’s body, while others shared AI-generated videos portraying Musk theatrically ripping off his shirt to reveal a hyper-muscular physique, accompanied by tongue-in-cheek captions like “Elon muscle.”
