Elon Musk admits to being on Ozempic-like weight loss drug in Santa Claus post on Christmas

Elon Musk revealed that he uses a medication similar to Ozempic for weight loss in a jolly holiday message, dressed as Santa Claus next to the Christmas tree on Christmas Day.

The wealthy CEO of Tesla specifically mentioned that he uses Mounjaro, a medication commonly prescribed for managing type-2 diabetes by reducing blood sugar levels.

Musk posted a pictured of himself in a Santa costume posing in front of a Christmas tree and wrote, ‘Ozempic Santa.’

In response to comments on his post, he humorously compared himself to “Cocaine Bear,” but as Santa using Ozempic. However, he clarified that he actually uses Mounjaro, although it doesn’t have the same catchy ring to it.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Mounjaro under the brand name Zepbound in November 2023 to serve as weight management drug for those who are struggling with overweightness or obesity.

Musk has already expressed support for weight loss drugs, writing in a December 11 post on X: ‘Nothing would do more to improve the health, lifespan and quality of life for Americans than making [GLP-1 drugs] super low cost to the public. Nothing else is even close.’

Some of the most well known GLP-1 drugs are Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound.

Musk’s views on this issue clashes with those of Robert F. Kennedy Jr, whom President-elect Donald Trump nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Shortly after his nomination in mid-November, RFK Jr. joined Greg Gutfeld’s late night show to decry how an estimated 9 million prescriptions are written every year in the US for weight loss drugs like Ozempic.

‘We are spending $1.6k a month on this drug. There is a bill right now before Congress that will make it available to everybody who is overweight… that alone will cost $3trillion a year.

‘If we spend about one fifth of that giving good food, three meals a day, to every man, woman and child in our country, we could solve the obesity and diabetes epidemic overnight.’

However, RFK Jr. slightly changed his tune on Ozempic during an interview with CNBC at the New York Stock Exchange on December 12, the day Trump was invited to ring the opening bell.

RFK Jr.’s heel turn also came a day after Musk, who has become one of Trump’s closest allies and supporters, publicly threw his support behind the drug.

‘The first line of response should be lifestyle. It should be eating well, making sure you that you don’t get obese, and that those GLP drugs have a place,’ RFK Jr. said.

Trump himself has been the subject of the Ozempic rumors that have plagued almost everyone rich and famous that has gotten slimmer in recent months. 

Back in May, when Trump was the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Joy Behar of ‘The View’ blurted that he was on Ozempic after cohost Sunny Hostin said he looked ‘thinner’ when she saw him in person.

Hostin saw him outside his hush money trial in Manhattan and commented on both his complexion and his weight.

‘It’s a burnt sienna. I had never seen him in person and I didn’t realize he was that orange. Ana [Navarro] has been making jokes about how orange he is… it’s almost like a radioactive orange,’ Hostin said about Trump.

Sunny continued: ‘It’s very shocking to see in person, it really is, because he’s a tall person and also a little thinner now, I don’t know if he’s taking the shot or whatever…’ before Joy butted in and claimed: ‘He’s on Ozempic, you know it!’ 

Trump recently knocked his Ozempic-supporting ally down a peg after Democrats and social media users alike derisively called him ‘vice president’ and suggested Musk was really running the show.

Speaking for more than hour at the conservative Turning Point USA’s annual AmericaFest conference in Phoenix on Sunday, Trump vented that even if Musk wanted to be president, he couldn’t.

‘No, he’s not going to be president, that I can tell you,’ Trump told the crowd.

‘And I’m safe. You know why he can’t be? He wasn’t born in this country,’ he continued.

Musk, the world’s richest man, spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help the Republican president-elect win a second term and has been a near constant presence at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home ever since.
