On Wednesday, the tech billionaire caused a stir on his platform X, formerly Twitter, when he posted a photo of himself in front of a Christmas tree sporting Santa’s traditional red suit and white beard — minus the large, round belly St. Nick is known for.
“Ozempic Santa,” he captioned the photo.

The Tesla CEO, whom President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to co-lead his proposed Department of Government Efficiency after the election, teased in a follow-up post,
“Like Cocaine Bear, but Santa and Ozempic!”
Musk clarified in a separate post that he wasn’t actually taking Ozempic, but “technically Mounjaro,” though he said the latter “doesn’t have the same ring to it.”
Ozempic and Mounjaro are medications intended to help people with diabetes regulate their blood glucose and insulin levels. However, the drugs, which are sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss by health professionals, have skyrocketed in popularity since celebrities and influencers started touting them as a way to shed pounds.
In another post, Musk admitted to trying Ozempic first but said the high doses made him “fart & burp like Barney from the Simpson’s.”
“Mounjaro seems to have fewer side effects and be more effective,” he added.
