Elon Musk sets up MAGA world civil war with big Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dispute: report

Donald Trump's inner circle is set up for an internal fight over how best to tackle America's obesity epidemic, as previous reports have made clear — and tech billionaire Elon Musk just lobbed a new salvo in the fight, putting him further at odds with Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., The Daily Beast reported. Specifically, the two sharply disagree over the promotion of Ozempic and related GLP-1 agonist drugs, widely considered to be the most effective weight loss medications ever devised. Kennedy, an avowed conspiracy theorist on things issues like vaccines and water fluoridation who cultivates a muscular, bodybuilding personal image, has a set idea of how to push people toward what he sees as a "natural" and "healthy" lifestyle, and considers weight loss medication to be contrary to this idea. The promotion of these new weight loss drugs has so far not been an issue that divides along party lines; the outgoing Biden administration, too has advocated expanding medical coverage for them, which experts believe could dramatically improve health across the board by reducing a number of illnesses for every organ system in the body that are related to obesity.
