Elon Musk took the liberty of single-handedly erupting the festive meter with a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). On December 26, 2024, Musk posted a picture of himself as a child dressed in the costume of Santa Claus. That round face, red suit, and completely naive boy who could have been dreaming of rockets before adult Elon Musk started SpaceX.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO captioned it in a classic meme format: "How it started vs how it's going."
You already know the X-verse wasn’t about to let that one slide without chiming in. A user humorously commented: "The skinniest Santa I’ve ever seen 🎅🏻😅."
A user commented: "Bro! You lost a ton of weight! I guess someone forgot to leave Santa cookies.”
Another user commented: "Where are your fake Santa eyebrows? As a kid you did it Santa 🎅better."
Sharing an AI-generated picture of Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump, a user said:
"Oh oh ohhh 🎅🥂"
A user went on to share another AI-generated picture of Elon Musk as an 80-year-old Santa.
A comment read: "Santa's gym membership is really paying dividends!"
Elon Musk as “Ozempic Santa”
In his next-level twist, he dropped another post showing himself as “Ozempic Santa.” Elon Musk was in a full-on red and white Santa suit, complete with a beard and a jolly grin, but with a cheeky 2024 twist.
His caption read:
"Like Cocaine Bear, but Santa and Ozempic!"
Musk took a moment to explain his inspiration, noting that while he actually uses Mounjaro—another diabetes medication known for its weight-loss effects—he just couldn’t resist the catchy name “Ozempic” for his Santa alter ego.
He wrote:
“Technically, Mounjaro, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it 😂”
The buzz around glow-up drug Ozempic
Ozempic is the ultimate MVP drug right now. It’s giving two birds, one stone vibes—treating type 2 diabetes and being a low-key game-changer for weight loss.
Well, Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, officially arrived in 2017 and, first and foremost, was designed to assist with type 2 diabetes control. The Health Perm reported that there has been over 5,000% increase in prescriptions for Ozempic between 2018 and 2023. It currently hosts an astounding 20 million scripts in the U.S. alone.
Ozempic operates largely by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that controls appetite and blood sugar levels. Think about having a hunger hotline helping you decide when it’s time to sit down for a meal and when it’s time to take it easy. This helps you stay fuller for a longer time and you aren’t looking at the snack section every 15 minutes.

Though it is highly effective in the cases it was originally prescribed for, diabetics, many practitioners supplement it by prescribing it as a weight loss drug.
But here’s where things get a little sus: not everyone can snag it. If you’re rolling with Medicaid or Medicare, the road to getting your hands on Ozempic might be full of red tape and hoops to jump through.
