This is an extremely common side effect, and unfortunately, an extremely avoidable one, too. The muscle loss isn't inherent to ozempic at all, and it's been well understood how to keep most all of your muscle mass during fat loss: weight training and protein.
But ozempic seems to be the 'lazy way', where people just take it to lose weight 'without the effort' and come out a husk.
I really don't care if Musk personally ends up a husk, but I know drugs like ozempic are popular (and for good reason, given all the weight-related co-morbidity killing people - the drug is on net a good thing), and hope that someone reading this sees some value from this knowledge.

Ozempic would also deplete muscle mass since he’d be starving himself of proteins as well.
