Lean-looking Elon Musk reveals hes taking Mounjaro for weight loss in festive Ozempic Santa post

A lean-looking Elon Musk revealed Wednesday that he uses Mounjaro — after previously expressing support for similar weight-loss drugs as a means to curb America’s obesity epidemic.The billionaire Tesla, SpaceX and X boss made the admission in a social media post, where he included an image of himself donning a Santa Claus suit and flowing white beard. Musk dubbed himself “Ozempic Santa” in the X post, noting it’s “Like Cocaine Bear, but Santa and Ozempic!” “Technically, Mounjaro, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it,” he clarified. Mounjaro, like Ozempic, is a GLP-1 inhibitor – a class of drugs developed to help people with diabetes regulate their blood glucose and insulin levels. However, Americans have increasingly been using GLP-1 inhibitors to successfully shed pounds.Musk, 53, noted that he prefers Mounjaro to Ozempic because taking “high doses” of the latter drug made him “fart & burp like Barney from the Simpson’s.” “Mounjaro seems to have fewer side effects and be more effective,” the incoming head of President-elect Donald Trump’s Department of Governmental Efficiency said. Musk has long argued for widespread use of GLP-1 inhibitors to combat obesity – a position that clashes with Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F.Kennedy Jr.’s stance on the medication. Kennedy, 70, has contended that getting Americans to eat healthier would be a more cost-effective way of handling the obesity crisis. Musk’s support for GLP-1 inhibitors has earned him praise from the liberal hosts of “The View,” one of whom, Whoopi Goldberg, has also admitted taking Mounjaro.

 “Elon’s right on this!” Goldberg declared during a discussion earlier this month on the division between the incoming DOGE chief and HHS secretary.The 69-year-old comedian later showed off her own trim figure after revealing to the audience that she weighed close to 300 pounds two years ago before she started taking Mounjaro...
