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.”
