During a public appearance, Trump referred an unnamed friend who had financial success and personal struggles with weight. He said, 'A friend of mine who's a very smart guy, very very rich, very powerful man actually. But he's very fat. And he took the fat drug. I won't give you which one. It was Ozempic ... the drug doesn't work on him. I saw him recently. He's actually fatter than ever'.
Social media users were quick to interpret the comment as a veiled reference to Elon Musk, Tesla and X (formerly Twitter) CEO, who is not only a friend of Trump, but also one of the most powerful tech billionaires and soon-to-be trillionaire.
