It's not just weight loss that Ozempic and the other GLP-1 drugs encourage. They also help people stop drinking to excess, and help lower pangs for other harmful drugs like heroin.
I believe that these attributes are so promising, that the idea of government subsidized Ozempic just seems like great domestic policy to me. I believe that whichever politician pitches this idea first will get a ton of support from the public and the press.
It feels to me like another one of Elon's stubborn whims. Sometimes these result in great innovations, like Tesla's giant car part 'gigacasting'. Other times, they result in deciding to rename Twitter "X" and forcing a team of engineers to spend over a year combing meticulously through the codebase to remove all references to "twitter.com"
