      According to that article I’m gonna say a lot of that depends on how you feel about recreational ketamine usage. I don’t know about you, but, uh…not my personal preference.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Elon Musk has created a culture of peer pressure among his friends and business associates that encourages them to use drugs with him, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal that details how board members and directors of his various companies either participate in or enable his substance use to stay close to the billionaire.

    At parties in recent years, Musk has been spotted taking ketamine recreationally through a nasal spray and drinking liquid ecstasy from a water bottle, The Journal reported, citing people who witnessed the drug use or were briefed about it.

    Current and former Tesla and SpaceX directors and board members— some of whom have invested tens of millions of dollars in Musk’s companies or have significant stock options tied to their roles —  have also used drugs with him, per the report.

    Musk, his lawyer Alex Spiro, and representatives for Tesla and SpaceX did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.

    Following a January 6 report by The Journal that detailed that the 52-year-old has used cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms over the years, Musk said in a post on X: “Whatever I’m doing, I should obviously keep doing it!”

    Following the January report, which could potentially jeopardize Musk’s security clearance as well as the billions of dollars of government contracts enjoyed by SpaceX as a defense contractor due to federal regulations on drug use, NASA said in a statement: “The agency does not have evidence of noncompliance from SpaceX on how the company addresses the drug- and alcohol-free workforce regulations.”

      When asked about Musk, NASA stuck its fingers in its ears and yelled, “ALALALALALALALALALALA!!!”
