He obviously believes (or has been flattered) that it makes him look tough and manly, but he looks riduculous.

Lilly makes Zepound/Mounjaro. He probably got overwhelmed with the bullshit that the Lilly CEO was spouting and passed out.

Either that, or he'd just taken his weekly shot and got dizzy.

The Apis bull has been our logo since the year after the foundation of Novo Terapeutisk Laboratorium in 1925. The choice of the logo follows a European chemist tradition of identifying pharmacies through an animal symbol.

The logo is a stylised reproduction of an Egyptian statuette dating from circa 664–323 BC. It is richly ornamented with symbols representing among other things, the eternal dualities of life, day and night, life and death.

The Apis bull was worshipped as the incarnation of Ptah, creator of the universe, city god of Memphis and the patron deity of craftsmen.

The man was initially identified as one Gordon Findlay, and many claimed he was a Novo Nordisk executive. “BREAKING: Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay collapses during Trump's announcement in Oval Office, announcement suspended,” an account claimed on X.

However, the company has clarified that the man who collapsed was not with them. “CEO Mike Doustdar and EVP, US Operations, Dave Moore were the only two Novo Nordisk representatives in the Oval Office. We hope the gentleman who suffered a medical incident today is okay,” Novo Nordisk told Newsweek.
...
While Novo Nordisk has clarified that Gordon Findlay was not in the Oval Office meeting, he has been the Global Brand Director for the company since 2023, and is based in Basel, Switzerland.
