I think Elon Musk looks his age, and looks pretty ok for a 49 year old. Granted he has money, and he's had hair transplants, but I've seen many late 40s early 50s people in much worse shape.

He's had a lot of cosmetic...improvements. Plus he can afford personal chefs, trainers, doctors, stylists, etc.

IME, the biggest predictor for people looking younger than their age is exercising and avoiding alcohol. I'm sure sleep is in there since people who do the other 2 normally also sleep ok.

I'd add tobacco use and UV exposure to that list (anecdotal of course).

Constant stress seems the biggest ager. Intermittent stress (even at high levels), punctuated by periods of relexation, doesn't seem as bad.

I disagree. Genes play a role by setting a min/max kind of like guardrails, but there can be a wide gradient between that min/max. Even people with arguably 'great genes' look terrible if they abuse drugs, alcohol, or their body in other ways.

Elon looked 50 when he was 30. It's definitely the money.

Passed the Wendt/Cheers Line two years after Tesla was founded and three years before he became CEO.

those are alot of caveats though. excpet for blah blah blah blahb, yeah he looks good.
Compared to his earlier pictures, it looks like he 'filled out' in terms of mody mass and skull growth. That sometimes happens when you take GH for long periods.
