Los Angeles, CA – A recent report by The Wall Street Journal has raised concerns about Elon Musk’s drug use and its impact on his business associates and board members. According to the report, former Tesla director Larry Ellison urged Musk to take a break and “dry out” in Hawaii to address his substance abuse issues.
The report indicates that Musk’s drug use, which includes substances such as LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine, has prompted his friends and associates to encourage him to seek rehab. Ellison, who is also the billionaire co-founder of Oracle, reportedly made the offer for Musk to visit Hawaii during the winter of 2022 in an effort to help him relax and address his drug use.
The article also highlights increasing concerns among Musk’s friends and associates about the severity of his drug use. It describes an incident at a party in the Hollywood Hills where Musk reportedly consumed ecstasy in “liquid form” after having his personal security clear the floor for privacy.
The volume of Musk’s drug use is said to have created a culture of peer pressure among his friends and board directors, with an “expectation” for them to use drugs alongside him to maintain their social status. Despite Musk’s public statements expressing dislike for illegal drugs, extensive reporting from The Journal details his use of substances like LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms.
The article also raises concerns about the health risks associated with the combination of hard drugs Musk reportedly uses, especially at his age as a 52-year-old. These risks include irregular heartbeat, incontinence, and psychosis for individuals with bipolar disorder.
Furthermore, the report sheds light on the impact of Musk’s drug use on his company, SpaceX, which was required by NASA to pledge in writing that it follows federal guidelines on drug use in the workplace after Musk smoked marijuana on a podcast. The company reportedly spent $5 million to train its employees on these rules. Additionally, Musk has shared that he has a prescription for ketamine, which research has suggested can be used to treat depression.
As concerns grow about the potential impact of Musk’s drug use, it remains to be seen how it may influence his businesses and personal life in the future. The reported culture of peer pressure and the implications for the well-being of Musk and those around him raise important questions about the intersection of personal behavior and professional responsibilities.
