Elon’s “extremely hardcore” toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.
"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company’s launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.
“Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company’s facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work.”
What a nightmare!

The most ironic part is 90% of the time, any finer detail work or big picture stuff comes out dogshit. Amphetamine seems to be more of a an effort/endurance drug, not necessarily performance in my experience
Edit: its like that Felix Felices potion from Harry Potter. I maintain it simply got people motivated to the extent they positioned and conditioned themselves to be amenable to the hidden opportunities available
The problem with tweakers is that they feel so good, every stupid idea they have feels like a breakthrough. Okay, there’s a lot worse problems with them, but that one is relevant. They have stupid ideas that they think are brilliant.
