Elon Musk Has Used Illegal Drugs, Worrying Leaders at Tesla and SpaceX
Wall Street Journal ^ | January 6, 2024 | Emily Glazer

Elon Musk and his supporters offer several explanations for his contrarian views, unfiltered speech and provocative antics. They’re an expression of his creativity. Or the result of his mental-health challenges. Or fallout from his stress, or sleep deprivation.

In recent years, some executives and board members at his companies and others close to the billionaire have developed a persistent concern that there is another component driving his behavior: his use of drugs.

And they fear the Tesla TSLA -0.18%decrease; red down pointing triangle

and SpaceX chief executive’s drug use could have major consequences not just for his health, but also the six companies and billions in assets he oversees, according to people familiar with Musk and the companies.

The world’s wealthiest person has used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private parties around the world, where attendees sign nondisclosure agreements or give up their phones to enter, according to people who have witnessed his drug use and others with knowledge of it. Musk has previously smoked marijuana in public and has said he has a prescription for the psychedelic-like ketamine.

In 2018, for example, he took multiple tabs of acid at a party he hosted in Los Angeles. The next year he partied on magic mushrooms at an event in Mexico. In 2021, he took ketamine recreationally with his brother, Kimbal Musk, in Miami at a house party during Art Basel. He has taken illegal drugs with current SpaceX and former Tesla board member Steve Jurvetson.

People close to Musk, who is now 52, said his drug use is ongoing, especially his consumption of ketamine, and that they are concerned it could cause a health crisis. Even if it doesn’t, it could damage his businesses.

Illegal drug use would likely be a violation of federal policies...

Judging by the comments on a similar article on Daily Mail, the average person in reader-land knows this is the beginning of a year long smear campaign against Musk.

That is what I figured they did to Howard Hughes. He had too much money, was tied into the Military Industrial Complex, which comes with CIA attached. They locked him away, told us stories about what he had become, and used his $$$$’s and workers to their own purposes. How do we know different, after the revelations about how devious and evil our government is?

The article reads like an orchestrated hit job on Musk. It’s a twofer, as it also distracts from battalions of illegals entering every couple hours.

Yes, Musk is right — at least for himself. Enhanced consciousness is hardly likely to turn him into an ax murderer. But lets him see more about the world than he knew before.

“why the hell does he use drugs for wanting to go over the edge.’

Are you a flat earther? An expansion of consciousness is not over the edge.

The streets are line with expansion of consciousness and other losers it’s a brain numbing deal to escape from reality what are you a dealer.

If you need a crutch to make it through the day your doing it wrong.

Musk has previously smoked marijuana in public

But Clinton lying about his use never worried a sole in the media.
