Elon musk tweet:

• Elon Musk tweeted: Just make a lot of Ozempic/Mounjaro. It’s not inherently expensive. The health benefits of reducing obesity far exceed the downside of GLP-1 inhibitors. We evolved under starving conditions and now make food that is plentiful and delicious. Whether that food is “processed” does matter, but is not a game changer
