    If a story got out that the boss of a local black-owned business was smoking weed out back with his employees, they would all be arrested so fast…

        Had to look it up, you’re not kidding

        At parties in recent years, Musk has been spotted taking ketamine recreationally through a nasal spray and drinking liquid ecstasy from a water bottle

          Idk if you heard, but ketamine seems to be the new in drug right now. I have no idea why, it existed when I was in high school over 20 years ago but I never saw it then. These days it’s at all the music fests and I just found out a bunch of my friends started using it as of the last 6 months. I don’t get out much so when I heard about them using it I was caught off guard. The only thing we all would do in the past is smoke weed and sometimes take some shrooms. I absolutely will not be trying that out, that’s above anything I ever wanted to tangle with…

            Nasal spray esketamine (Spravato brand) is an approved drug for treatment resistant depression these days. Maybe that air of legitimacy has excited people?

        I don’t enjoy my job, and it has led to more drinking. If I had to spend time around Elon, I’d have to be borderline comatose.

    This might be a bit tin-foil, but I really don’t buy a lot of this news.

    If the likes of Andy Jassy or Tim Cook were reportedly huge crack users, you could all but guarantee that there would be a VP or SVP that would be plotting a coup, and you’d bet that they’d have full shareholder approval. Musk owns most of his companies, bar Tesla, where he owns around 13-15%. Surely at this point there would be someone either internal or external that would love to own Tesla, even if just for the name?

    Tesla doesn’t really have much to gain by being attached to Musk. If anything, the outlandish shit he’s got that company doing instead of fucking making the cars he’s said for years they would make holds them back.

    Take the news at face value, and it paints a picture where law enforcement will be involved already. Now, take it, knowing that Musk is a deeply troubled man that lost his family and is neck-deep in the alt-right machine alongside people that can handle it far better than him, and this “news” sounds like the kind of rumour that Musk would probably spread himself to make him seem more…edgy?

    If it’s true, coercing someone to take highly illegal drugs is probably a crime in the US, and probably one that would warrant the police to maybe pay these people a visit, perhaps?

      I have trouble to buy this. Tesla’s shares are massively over-inflated, and it is all due to Elon’s media over-exposition from back when it wasn’t so negative. Anyone with enough Tesla’s shares and the capacity to play politics within the company understands that killing the clown means the whole ship sinks down. The correct play here is to slowly rid yourself of Tesla stock before it completely crashes, not to draw attention into him.

        He has never been officially diagnosed with autism. He just claims he has Asperger’s (no longer an official diagnosis) and uses it as an excuse to do horrible things.

        And autism does not excuse the horrible things he says and does.

          Too be fair, as a person on the spectrum with very good track record of recognizing other neurodivergents on the spot.

          Elon absolutely reads and acts as a neurodivergent and within that group mostly resembles autism.

          Having said that, to wield that like an excuse his vile and idiotic behavior is simply wrong.

          Everyone on the spectrum is unique, has some great gifts and some deeper flaws. I bet there are intelligent stuff hes good at but i dont believe for second he has what it takes to be a leader of any kind. He’d probably be better suited as an valued assistant to a real expert that knows what task/responsibilities to give and not give to him.

          When i look at musk i see a broken person sick with Addiction of money and power.

          The majority of autists are very progressives we have huge ties to the roots of the lgbt movement. Many of us have an inherent desire for fairness and equality. But Elon Musk has gone so deep in the rabbithole of finding survival within egocentrism he is beyond saving, no longer having the ability to see the world around it as it is.

          Ketamine is psychedelic, those tend to aid the mind into seeing their own flaws and become the better version of themselves. I find it really telling that it does not seem to work on Elon and almost proof that he is actively focused about not coming to terms with reality and refusing to work on hisself. Possibly because he scared shitless that he might feel a guilt from his conscience if he does. Easier to just pay your problems away and hope the atheist are right.

            No, it’s not on the autism spectrum because it isn’t a thing. It isn’t real.

            And unless you have some medical expertise in the area, you deciding he has autism based on traits you think autistic people have is just bigoted against people with autism. Because that is not in any way in your wheelhouse.

            Do you also decide on whether or not someone is gay based on ‘gay traits?’

    Irrelevant comment, but I wish that psychedelics were not classified by people as drugs. There is little in common in impact to your health and to your “high” between traditional drugs like cocaine and opioids and psychedelics.

        They mean, they shouldn’t be scheduled. Regulated, like tobacco and alcohol, but not scheduled.

        Caffeine, chocolate, heck aspirine, acetamenaphine, and countless other drugs aren’t even regulated. But it’s clear what they’re trying to say: many scheduld drugs shouldn’t be illegal to produce or use.

        I did not say that they are safe, especially if taken regularly, but they are quite different. And there is evidence that psychedelics do change people for the better too and are being investigated for things like depression treatment.

      I mean, they not only change things in your body and meet the definition of a drug. But make far more of a change in your body than say Tylenol, ibuprofen, or nicotine. They impare your judgment more than weed or alcohol. Maybe less long term effects than alcohol, as long as you don’t kill someone in the process since you perception of reality is impared. It makes perfect sense that it is considered a drug. Now, whether they want to legalize it with stipulations to keep people around you safe (i.e., regulate the drug) is a different discussion.

                For something that totally happens, Google is completely unaware of it. Why can’t you just accept you’re wrong? Sounds like you confused what you heard.

                LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals. It is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in the ergot fungus that grows on rye and other grains. It is produced in crystal form in illegal laboratories, mainly in the United States. These crystals are converted to a liquid for distribution.

                Created as a crystal, not crystals in the brain, seems like the most likely explanation.

            It’s not forming crystals in your brain…

            Some people with a relatively unstable psychology and/or who don’t follow the “set and setting,” could experience a bad trip which can trigger an episode of predisposed psychosis. More often than not, this can easily be prevented by having a competent sitter guiding you and not going full out with a heroic (max-effect) dose your first time.

            Think of it like learning to drive, you wouldn’t hop into a sports car solo, and expect not to have a good chance of screwing something up
