Elon Musk's Drug Use Escalates, Concerns Rise at Tesla and SpaceX

Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest individual with a net worth of nearly 390 billion dollars, has been reported to have a severe drug abuse problem. Recent media reports have revealed that during his support for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, Musk's drug use escalated significantly. He was reported to have used ketamine daily and consumed ecstasy and "magic mushrooms" at private gatherings in the United States and abroad.

Musk's drug use has been a concern for some time. In January of last year, it was reported that he frequently used illegal substances, including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, "magic mushrooms," and ketamine. This behavior has raised concerns among some high-ranking executives and board members at Tesla and SpaceX, as it not only poses a risk to his personal health but also impacts the operations of the companies and could potentially harm their business.

The latest revelations come as Musk announced his intention to step down from the Department of Government Efficiency. The reports indicate that his drug use has become more severe, with him reportedly carrying a pillbox containing around 20 tablets, some of which are labeled with Adderall, a central nervous system stimulant containing amphetamine.

Musk has previously acknowledged using ketamine to treat depression, claiming that he uses it sparingly, about once every two weeks. However, the latest investigations suggest that he has developed a serious dependence on the drug, using it frequently and sometimes daily, often in combination with other substances. This has blurred the line between medical use and recreational use, causing concern among those close to him.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved ketamine only for use as an anesthetic in medical procedures and for treating certain mental health conditions under the supervision of specially licensed doctors. The FDA has also warned about the risks associated with ketamine, noting its hallucinogenic properties and the potential for addiction and bladder issues with long-term use.

Musk, Tesla, and SpaceX have not responded to requests for comment on the media reports. Musk has stated that he will not comment on the allegations regarding his drug use. Despite these revelations, Musk remains at the top of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a net worth of approximately 387 billion dollars.
