Elon Musk stomach: Fake barrel chest picture goes viral
Elon Musk is no stranger to public attention, and recently, his body became the focus after a manipulated photo went viral, showing him with an unusually enlarged chest and stomach.
This sparked speculation online about whether Musk had developed barrel chest, a condition where the chest appears puffed up due to underlying lung issues. However, the image was later confirmed to be edited, originating from a YouTube video posted in June 2024, where Musk’s photo was altered to make his chest look larger.
Despite the viral speculation, Musk remained silent on the matter. This wasn’t the first time his body has drawn attention. In the past, he was body-shamed after photos of him shirtless on a yacht surfaced. Musk responded humorously, showing that he doesn’t take the online criticism seriously.
Musk has also been open about his weight loss journey, admitting to shedding over 20 pounds through intermittent fasting and using the weight management drug Wegovy.
He follows a diet that includes steak, sushi, chocolate, and coffee, but avoids vegetables. His body and eating habits have sparked much public discussion, but Musk seems to handle it all with humor, reminding everyone that he’s just living his life.
