Elon Musk says the New York Times was
00:00:01
lying their ass off in a new report
00:00:04
about his alleged drug use. He posted on
00:00:06
X that he tried the prescription
00:00:08
ketamine a few years ago and while it
00:00:09
helps for getting out of the quote dark
00:00:11
mental holes, he hasn't taken it since,
00:00:14
which is not true cuz he told Don Lemon
00:00:15
he was taking it last year. The article
00:00:18
claims Musk used ketamine often and also
00:00:20
took ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms
00:00:22
in the last year. The drug use story
00:00:24
dropped just as Elon had his big Oval
00:00:26
Office farewell where he sported a black
00:00:27
guy he says came from his 5-year-old
00:00:29
son. Look, it's well known that he takes
00:00:32
drugs. A lot of people can be functional
00:00:33
and do it at the same time, but there
00:00:35
are so many warning signs here. Car, if
00:00:37
you had a sibling, if you had a brother
00:00:39
who was exceptionally talented and say
00:00:41
was worth 400 million, but it was clear
00:00:43
he was radically addicted to ketamine.
00:00:45
At a parent teachers conference, he was
00:00:47
giving Nazi salutes. He was fathering
00:00:49
multiple children with multiple women.
00:00:51
Many of them were suing him for sole
00:00:52
custody of that child because he hadn't
00:00:54
seen that child and then he shows up
00:00:55
with a black eye. Wouldn't you get
00:00:58
anyone who cares about this guy to to do
00:01:00
an intervention? Yes, 100%. But here's
00:01:04
the thing. If you're worth 400 billion
00:01:06
out 400 million, the world admires you
00:01:08
and thinks it's not drug abuse. It's
00:01:10
you're provocative and you're authentic
00:01:12
and you're different. I just come back
00:01:13
to the same place that we have decided
00:01:15
that money somehow conflates with
00:01:17
character and leadership. If he was
00:01:20
worth $400 million, no one would put up
00:01:22
with this [ __ ] They'd be like, "Jesus
00:01:24
Christ, this guy is is an addict." Yeah.
00:01:27
Well, money takes care of a lot of
00:01:28
things.
