He was responding to the tweet of a user who said, “You’ve lost a ton of weight, Elon! Keep up the fantastic work.” She also posted two pictures of the billionaire in the tweet showcasing his weight loss transformation. Replying to the same, he wrote, “Down 30 lbs!”

Many users were surprised to see the transformation. One of them asked the “Chief Twit” of the company how he achieved this feat.

The Zero fasting app is quite good,” he wrote on Twitter.  He had also mentioned that he was “over 20 lbs (nine kgs) down” from his peak weight.
