Musk Proposes Including Weight-Loss Drug Ozempi in U.S. Food Stamp Benefits

Deep News01-13

Elon Musk suggested on social media platform X that the weight-loss medication Ozempi should be included in the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), responding to a user's post.

SNAP is a food assistance program that enables low-income families to use food stamps to purchase essential groceries. For many years, SNAP has permitted beneficiaries to buy nearly all types of food items, including soft drinks, candy, and snacks.

A user posted on Monday, stating that according to reports, U.S. Surgeon General Robert F. Kennedy Jr. indicated that food stamps would no longer be allowed for purchasing sugar and soda beverages.

Another user commented, "Reports indicate that the average weight of women receiving SNAP benefits is 212 pounds, while the average weight of women not receiving SNAP benefits is 146 pounds."

Musk responded, "Perhaps Ozempi should be eligible under SNAP."
