Elon Musk often sparks headlines, but recently, a viral photo showing him with an exaggerated chest and stomach stirred online chatter. The image, shared on X (formerly Twitter), fueled speculation about Musk’s health, with some suggesting he had “barrel chest.”
However, fact-checkers revealed the photo was altered. It originated from a June 2024 YouTube video and was manipulated to exaggerate his physique. Despite the buzz, Musk remained silent, as he often does with similar rumors.
This isn’t the first time Musk’s body has been a topic. Past shirtless photos and his candid remarks about weight loss and eating habits have kept discussions alive, but Musk usually responds with humor.
