You are being misled by the indentation.
If you write it like this, it's easier to see:

  foo(X) ->
     if
      X > 1 ->
          ok;       % <- Note semicolon here
      not_ok; true ->
          true
     end.

Semicolon within a guard separates disjunctions, i.e.,
it's an "or" operator. It can't be nested, and has
lower precedence than comma ("and").

It would have made a nice submission to the Obfuscated
Erlang Contest, though. :-)
