    I swear to fuck modern journalists have basically zero critical thinking, probably just told by the PR teams these stats. 155?! 152?! 6’1"?! 187? Catch yourselves the fuck on. For musk especially to be that height and weight he has to have absolutely zero muscle given how he looks in photos I’ve seen

      This is a repeat of when Trump was president and he went to the White House doc for a checkup and the media simply quoted his lies. He “coincidentally” claimed to be one pound less than obese. He was and is clearly obese. I bet he was at least 300 pounds whatever his real and shorter height actually is.

      When it comes to Elon. I’m 6’ 1" and I got fat. A couple weeks ago I was 265. I started exercising and my present goal is to get down to 215. In any case - I was ~190 in high school. And a bit more in my 20s. I don’t know if Elon is really 6’ 1". But if he is - he’s clearly over 265.

          I’m not that much older than Elon. I’d love to be ~187 pounds again. But not only would have to exercise like a fiend all the time - I’d have to count every single calorie. I’d be in great physical shape but I’d be totally miserable. No pizza. No beer. None of the fun stuff. And I’d be awful to be around because I’d be so distracted and grumpy.
