Elon Musk has revealed his new, slimmer ‘Ozempic Santa’ figure – and it appears to clash with the stance that President-elect Donald Trump’s health secretary has on weight-loss drugs.
Wearing a Santa Claus outfit, Musk looked visibly thinner especially around the waistline in a photo he shared on his platform X (formerly Twitter) on Christmas Day.
Musk, who will co-lead the new Department of Government Efficiency, captioned the post ‘Ozempic Santa’.
He clarified he is actually taking a similar drug called Mounjaro, which involves a non-insulin injection once a week and following diet and exercise guidelines to improve blood sugar for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
‘Mounjaro seems to have fewer side effects and be more effective,’ Musk said of the drug compared to Ozempic, which he admitted to also trying.
Whether it be Ozempic or Mounjaro, using weight loss drugs runs counter to the views of Robert F Kennedy Jr, Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
