    Elon Musk engaged in extensive drug consumption while serving as one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, taking ketamine so frequently it caused bladder problems and traveling with a daily supply of approximately 20 pills, according to claims made to the New York Times.

    The world’s richest man regularly consumed ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms during his rise to political prominence, anonymous sources familiar with his activities told the Times. His drug use reportedly intensified as he donated $275m to Trump’s presidential campaign and later wielded significant power through his role spearheading the “department of government efficiency”, or Doge.

    The Doge leader developed what those sources described to the Times as a serious ketamine habit, consuming the powerful anesthetic sometimes daily rather than the “small amount” taken “about once every two weeks” he claimed in interviews. “If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work,” Musk previously told journalist Don Lemon in March 2024, downplaying his consumption.

    However, by spring last year, the Times reports that Musk was telling associates his ketamine use was affecting his bladder – a known consequence of chronic abuse of the drug, which has psychedelic properties and can cause dissociation from reality, according to the DEA.

    His regular medication box contained pills bearing Adderall markings alongside other substances, according to sources with the Times who have seen photographs of the container.

    It remains unclear whether Musk was under the influence during his time at the White House, where he attended sensitive meetings with foreign leaders and held power over federal spending cuts.

    The White House did not return a request for comment on whether Musk underwent drug testing despite his access to classified information.

    SpaceX maintains strict drug-free workplace policies for employees due to its government contracts. However, those insiders tell the Times that Musk received advance warning of random drug tests – undermining their effectiveness.

    Popular podcaster and public intellectual Sam Harris, who publicly ended his friendship with Musk, wrote in a January newsletter: “There is something seriously wrong with his moral compass, if not his perception of reality.”


    so he’s basically a drug addicted, socially inept Nazi with 13 baby mamas who nobody likes

    These bumper stickers are such BS. He's always been a nutjob with good PR and amazingly insecure and naive group of worshipers.

    Musk should go to prison and all of his companies nationalized for the better good of the people.

    drug use in our capital city should not be tolerated.

    I have a theory that Elon Musk's and Joe Rogan's personalities changed considerably due to a combination of psychedelic drug and right wing social media consumption. Ketamine, magic mushrooms, LSD, etc make you very open to new beliefs. This is how Manson "brainwashed" his followers. I think Musk unintentionally brainwashed himself. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11332244/

    Here is a little AI summary:
    1. Increased Suggestibility and Openness to New Information
    2. Heightened Intensity of Subjective Insights
    3. Reduced Critical Thinking and Reality Testing
    4. Potential for Misinterpretation of Sensory and Cognitive Changes


    tl;dr Ketamine + twitter = fascist.

    its sad a drugged up homeless looking person has out performed you by 10000 lifetimes. One can launch a 200 ton 20 story object into the atmosphere and sucessfully catch it fully intact .... the other is a self righteous NPC who's greatest accomplishment passed to his grandchildren is nothing more than a bunch of nonsensical words posted on a basketball forum.

    Here is another theory; If someone's personality hasn't changed in 30 years is usually a great indicator of zero growth.

    Wow....just WOW, I am shocked he said this. Probably the only thing I have agreed with elmo on but dam.....I have a feeling no one in maga land will say a word, who is the brave soul who has to tell this to the orange man or do the act like it didn't happen. If trump turns on elmo and maga does the same he will have no customer left to buy his car. Before he got into politics I was thinking about getting a tesla...........I would not be caught dead in one. I saw a bumber sticker that said, "I bought this before we knew Elon was Bat **** Crazy"

    To be fair to elmo, he wasn't complaining about EV, he was complaining about all of it, the speaker has to typically lie to his supporters, why, Johnson is walking a fine line between supporters and elmo...........so will maga turn on their hero elmo

    I think the root of Elon’s complaining is likely the lack of EV subsidies as it will hurt his already declining businesses, so he’s chosen to become petty and attack the bill as a whole

    he’s also been basically kicked out of the WH due to his grating personality and unpopularity as seen with the Wisconsin SC race he threw his entire weight behind…could be some resentment building up since he’s so desperate to be liked

    they’ll turn on Elon in a heartbeat once Trump starts attacking him directly…their “friendship” was fake and entirely transactional to begin with

    this was only 3 years ago

    Once the inevitable fallout between El Trumpo and Elon happens, Tesla's will be cool to drive again me thinks.
