Donald Trump has announced to reduce the costs of some weight loss drugs, or as he calls them 'fat shots'.

The Trump administration claims that Americans could lose 61 billion kilogrammes combined because of this deal.

A US$1 trillion pay package, endorsed by Tesla shareholders, could be headed for Elon Musk .
