53-year-old tech mogul Elon Musk knows how to surprise the public. This time, it was not with another humanoid or SpaceX rocket launch but with his weight loss. The billionaire posted a photo on the X platform in which he poses noticeably slimmer near a Christmas tree with gifts in a Santa Claus costume.
“Ozempic Santa,” Musk captioned the post, which sparked heated discussions among his followers.
However, he soon clarified that he was actually using another drug, Mounjaro. According to the entrepreneur, Ozempic had many side effects. Compared to it, Mounjaro was more effective, yet it did not come without unpleasant consequences.
Like Ozempic, Mounjaro is a drug designed to help people with diabetes regulate their blood sugar and insulin levels.
In November 2023, the Food and Drug Administration approved Mounjaro under the brand name Zepbound as a weight management drug for those struggling with overweight or obesity.
