In August 2026, Elon Musk ’s billion-dollar aerospace company SpaceX announced plans to build a 125,000-acre launch site in the coastal marshes of Louisiana near Pecan Island and Abbeville in Vermilion Parish.

To mark the occasion, Musk and several other SpaceX executives and politicians, along with Governor Jeff Landry, visited the construction site for the $100 billion project , set to become southern Louisiana’s largest spaceport complex.

But as photos of the trip began circulating on social media, netizens zeroed in on a completely different detail: Musk’s “ ugly body shape .”

“How can you be a freakin trillionaire and not have the best doctors in the world keeping your hormones in check?” one commented.

Netizens took particular issue with what they described as his noticeably slouched bearing and heavier-looking midsection, further accentuated by tight-fitting clothes, together giving him a more unkempt appearance than usual.

Some said Elon Musk was simply overweight or lacked good fashion sense. Others assumed it was a “bad posture issue” or the wrong angle, and a few more suspected a medical condition.

“Musk is working himself into a grave. The extreme stress and probably not enough sleep, along with bad eating habits that fit around his busy schedule,” said one concerned user.

Another said, “Just terrible posture combined with bad camera angles.” A third wrote, “He’s just wearing clothes that are not properly sized for him. Skinny fits shouldn’t exist.”
