Doctor Raises Rapid Aging Worries Over Elon Musk's Health After Podcast Appearance

Physician Dr. Stuart Fischer has expressed serious concerns about Elon Musk's health following his recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, noting visible signs of "rapid aging" and a tired, drained demeanor. Dr. Fischer observed that Musk appeared more fatigued compared to his appearance at the Republican National Convention earlier in 2024, attributing this decline to the stress and controversies surrounding Musk's high-profile roles, including his involvement in politics and business. The doctor warned that chronic stress elevates cortisol and adrenaline levels, which accelerate wear on the heart, raise risks of heart attacks and strokes, break down collagen leading to skin aging, and impair nutrient absorption. Additionally, stress disrupts sleep and damages brain structures like the hippocampus, causing cognitive difficulties such as memory loss and emotional processing issues. Despite these concerns, Musk's stamina seemed maintained during the lengthy podcast, though his speech patterns showed signs of strain. Overall, experts suggest Musk's health may be compromised by the intense pressures of his public and professional life.
