Elon Musk and the drugs: ketamine, psychedelica and more

Elon Musk was one of the most important supporters of Donald Trump’s election campaign – and, according to the “”, consumed significantly more drugs than before.

In addition to ketamine, which he took in large quantities, he is also said to have taken ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. He had carried a medication box with about 20 tablets, including probably the performance -enhancing Adderall.

On Wednesday evening, Musk announced that he ended his work for the government after complaining how much time he had spent with politics instead of with his companies.

The New York Times could not find out whether Musk was under drug influence during his political activities in the White House. However, it noticed several times through erratic behavior. So he insulted cabinet members, gestured like a Nazi and gave confidence in a staged interview.

His private life also became increasingly complicated through numerous relationships and legal disputes, writes the New York Times. Some long -time friends have distanced themselves from him because of his public appearance, and several women argue with him for custody of their children.

Musk and his lawyer did not respond to inquiries about his drug use and private life this week. Before that, he had stated that he was prescribed ketamine against depression and taking it about every two weeks. He said to his biographer: “I really don’t like taking illegal drugs.”

The White House did not comment on whether Elon Musk was asked for drug tests. Although SpaceX as a government contractor actually has to ensure a drug -free workforce, Musk was warned of drug tests, according to insiders.

Musk is known for his eccentric and moody behavior, which supporters seen as part of his success. But his frequent drug use, mood swings and his desire to have children are worried.
