Yes, we all know that time when Musk decided to grow t̶a̶l̶l̶e̶r̶ hair.
Fatness and lack of stature was the original topic.

But the comment you replied to talked about attractiveness in general.
Here’s the comment that that one was a reply to:
> I believe there is ample research showing height and attractiveness (one could reasonably consider weight to be one determining factor in attractiveness) do play a factor in career success, compensation, and selection for leadership.
Look, only about obesity and height (and mainly height). To which they replied:
> I think it goes more the other way around. …
Which makes no sense because no one ever mentioned hair, so that can’t be used as a direct counter-argument to a comment about research on height.
Are we gonna continue this? This is enough for me.

I would write a rebuttal, but you have written it for me. "attractiveness (one could reasonably consider weight to be one determining factor in attractiveness)" does not mean "attractiveness (which means weight)".

Wait, it's possible to look significantly more attractive through willpower alone? I dress okay and am not a total slob but I've never considered myself anything more than average-looking, and I've certainly never been told that I'm hot or that I should consider a career in modelling.
What tricks can I apply to make myself as gorgeous as Elon Musk?
