AceShowbiz - Tesla CEO Elon Musk reveals his secret to losing weight, GLP-1 medications, including Mounjaro and previously Wegovy. Despite preferring not to exercise, Musk advocates for making these drugs more accessible to combat the obesity epidemic.
On Christmas (Wednesday, December 25), Musk posted a photo of himself in a Santa Claus suit, showing off his slimmer figure. Dubbing himself "Ozempic Santa," he later clarified that he used Mounjaro, a similar weight-loss drug.
Musk explained his preference for Mounjaro over Ozempic due to fewer side effects, despite experiencing excessive gas and burping from Ozempic. Musk has expressed support for GLP-1 drugs as a solution to obesity, arguing that making them low-cost would significantly improve the health of Americans.
This view contrasts with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s stance that promoting healthy eating habits would be more cost-effective.
Musk's use of GLP-1 drugs has drawn attention, with "The View" host Whoopi Goldberg also admitting to using Mounjaro and sharing her own weight loss success. Despite his dislike for exercise, Musk has previously used other weight loss drugs and practiced intermittent fasting.
While some have criticized the overreliance on medications for weight loss, Musk believes they could be a valuable tool in addressing the obesity epidemic and improving the health and well-being of Americans.
