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...

Long knives comming for Elon. Conservatorship in his future?
Who do they hate more?
Elon or Donald
Or maybe Musk is just right, and it scares the crap out if them.
So they make up alternate realities to overcome their fear.
It appears to be “Get Musk Week”.
It is crazy to see how the left’s former idol is now being taken down because he allows conservatives a platform to express the truth.
This is Orwellian propaganda.
Musk does not support Swamp totalitarianism because of drugs or mental illness, so he must be stopped somehow.
“Illegal drug use would likely be a violation of federal policies”
I’d rather see a wholesale drug-user sweep of the federal workforce before I’d worry about a civilian user. And I am violently anti-drug.
This week they're hating on Bill Ackman.
Now they have gotten desperate, to the point of silly. Drug use?? Seriously?? In a world where nearly every person in a position of political or social power or influence is doing drugs - whether prescription or otherwise?
I sense another "GFYS" moment in the future.
Hmmmm....I wonder if they tested all the 2 million Federal workers for illegal drug use, what they’d find....and do about it....hmmmmm.
MSM is worried about Musk? What about the delusional demented drug satiated POTUS leading the country?
“offer several explanations for his contrarian views”
How Soviet….
Oh brother. What a joke. I thought RATs loved dope.
Yes he has too much power influence and non wokeness to be left alone.
I’m so old I remember when the Wall Street journal wasn’t a transparent political hack.
“Illegal drug use would likely be a violation of federal policies”
Pinch your boss when you say that Emily. I’ll come out right.
Meanwhile, the leaders of big tech wifely and famously use psychedelic microdoses.
Ah Ha! Another reason to cancel all SpaceX contracts, until the miscreant is removed and imprisoned.
