Elon Musk's changing appearance is fuelling fresh speculation over whether the Tesla chief executive has had plastic surgery, after side by side photos shared online drew attention to what critics have called his 'Mounjaro face' following significant weight loss between 2021 and 2025.
Musk has spoken publicly about trying to slim down since 2022, when he said he had dropped around 30 pounds in a relatively short period. He linked that change to lifestyle adjustments and prescription GLP-1 drugs, the class of medication that includes Ozempic and Mounjaro. The latest focus, however, is less about the weight itself and more about the effect it appears to have had on his face.
