Wow, that thread is something else.

So genuine question: is Musk actually addicted to drugs? Or a frequent user? I keep seeing that around, but I don't know if it's more a joke/meme or serious?

My theory is that after he bought Twitter he no longer had to abide by the rules (since he owns the thing), and combined with his wealth basically no one ever says "no Elon, you can't do that" or "you idiot, that's fucking mental". Also he has tons of people cheering him on (also in that thread). This is not helping keeping him grounded.



He has a prescription for Ketamine and is probably an occasional other stuff. Of course you don't quite know. The best source is probably the wsj article https://archive.ph/zcAdE . Says "LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private parties".

My sisters first boyfriend went permanently nuts from mostly that list. I think it was a toxic mushroom that flipped him.


Musk had lost it long before Twitter, his K problems were obvious at Tesla, which is one of the reasons I never purchased one.

If you didn't see all the instability when he was calling folks paedos because they were saving lives, while he was snorting whatever he could find, then I'm not sure what else to say. It was never going to end well, yet techbros pumped up his bad ideas and feeding the ego.

How well is the Boring Company coming along?


Boring Company so so and the cars and rockets did quite well. He may have mucked up the cars just recently though.
