Elon Musk's Forgotten Gothic Era - Deleted Photo Sparks Online Frenzy

Elon Musk has caused a stir online by posting a rare photograph of himself from nine years ago, a picture that was reportedly wiped from the internet nearly a decade back.

The image captures Musk in an unusually gothic style. He is seen wearing a black double-breasted jacket adorned with metallic buttons, with longer-than-usual hair and a serious expression as he gazes directly at the camera.

The outfit is a stark contrast with Musks typically polished public appearance.

The photo reappeared when Musk shared it on X formerly Twitter, adding a witty caption: Cant believe its been so long.

The post quickly went viral, amassing over 15 million views and 148,000 likes.
