Self-proclaimed ‘Ozempic Santa’ Elon Musk took a humorous jab at far-left Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) following the governor’s critical remarks toward Vice President JD Vance.
The exchange began when VP JD Vance took to social media to decry the unconstitutional overreach by an Obama-appointed judge, who blocked access to the Treasury’s payment system for Trump administration appointees.
“If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal,” Vance wrote.

Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.

Governor Pritzker was quick to fire back, framing Vance’s remarks as a dangerous disregard for the rule of law.
“JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law,” Pritzker retorted.
“America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws. The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution. No one is above the law,” he added.

However, Pritzker’s legal lecture was met with mockery from Musk.
After famously labeling himself “Ozempic Santa” due to his own weight loss journey, Musk countered Pritzker’s legal lecture with a question that sent X into a frenzy: “Have you considered Ozempic?”
Have you considered Ozempic?

The internet, always hungry for drama or a good laugh, went wild.
Musk’s stinging jab has ignited a firestorm of memes, tweets, and comments against hypocrite Pritzker.
