Elon Musk recently became the subject of online speculation after a viral photo showed him with an enlarged chest and stomach. Many wondered if he had developed “barrel chest,” a condition linked to lung issues. However, the image was later confirmed to be manipulated, originating from a YouTube video where Musk’s photo was altered to exaggerate his appearance.

This isn’t the first time Musk’s body has caught attention. In 2021, he was body-shamed for shirtless photos taken on a yacht, but he responded with humor on Twitter. Musk has also been open about his weight loss, admitting to shedding over 20 pounds with intermittent fasting and using the drug Wegovy. His diet, which includes steak, sushi, and donuts, has sparked discussions, but he seems unfazed by the attention.

Musk’s body remains a hot topic, with speculation often overshadowing his achievements, but he continues to handle it with humor.
