I was gonna call it a corset.

I don't understand how anyone can be that close to Musk and not take a run at him with the nearest blunt instrument.

The President is behind him too. I don't like either of them, but I can see why people would want to take a picture.

To be clear, this theory doesn’t invalidate what you said.

No, he really is shaped like that

Came here to say just this.

for the unfamiliar:

It's possible he has bas posture or just thinks over extending his torso and thrusting his rib cage out makes him look good because that's what it looks like to me

He's still a fat fucking idiot though

Maybe a corset when on stage?

Maybe he is wearing a body suit? Or he is the shape shifting lizard person Q tried to warn everyone about? /s

Body armor typically covers from around the belly button to around the manubrium of the sternum. The reason I don't think the body armor thing is true true is because of the indents just under the breast/nipple area. Unless the vest is reeeally shaped like that, those curves would not show up. I think back to when I was wearing body armor and remember a pretty obvious line on the front portion where there was an obtuse angle formed as the shirt met the stiff portion and cascaded downwards, but no odd curves where the shirt was pulled tight after that, just wrinkles and folds where the fabric was loose.

Now, that being said, if this is super light body armor (and he's probably enough of an idiot to wear a level I vest and think it's enough), those might show up. The oddities on the back of the shirt do make it appear that something is going on underneath. The thick black line where the shirt is folding inwards could be because of the bottom of a vest, as it lies just around the level of the navel, as you'd expect with body armor. Just in front of the left elbow is another dark patch, which could be due to the fabric being pushed outwards around the location where the straps attach.

That might be a part of it, but...

Not going to do anything if the gunman aims for the head

There's only one way to find out

I think you’re right — body armor of some kind. He’s scared.

Bingo. I'm surprised more people aren't calling this out. Musk is taking a unhealthy amounts of "youth drugs" and not actually working out. Dude is so obsessed with his image. Just like Trump who's ties and suits don't fit because he forces his tailor to fit to his ego and not his reality.

*aisle, fyi.
