The reason I keep saying 'ketamine is a hell of a drug' is, foolish doesn't adequately describe what's happening.

The wealthiest huckster in the whole entire world has done so many horse tranquilizers as psychedelics that something broke and he is flipping out and wielding his power in unaccountable ways, like any billionaire, but in obvious madness.

He broke. But nobody can do a thing to help, because billionaires are so powerful that the man is completely unaccountable to anyone or anything. It's worse than Ye. Elon broke, after too many horse tranquilizer trips. He's not there anymore. You're seeing the drugs acting in his stead.

There are reasons why societies don't set individuals up with this kind of power.

While I do think changing twitter to X is foolish, this post is garbage.

Do you have a credible source for this besides “trust me bro”?

Elon is doing ketamine? I think I'm missing context.

Absolutely. He has publically endorsed doing ketamine as a method of managing depression. Elon is doing ketamine, and I think he's doing lots, from all appearances.

havent heard this one? hes publicly stated that adderall "makes people assholes" before so would seem out of character

I went back to find a source and could not. I think I may have confused him with some other billionaire.

i believe it was on a spaces call, but yeah i could be hallucinating it too. Doubt itll be easy to find if it even is true

That's why you balance it out with some ganja

> Elon is doing ketamine

How do you know what he’s doing? Even if he’s said something positive about it and/or used it in the past doesn’t mean anything. I have positive things to say about psilocybin but haven’t done it in 20 years.

I'm not privy to the news on this particular fact, but the fact is that Ketamine IS used medically as an anti-depressant now, just at far below the dosage range to get "high".

So if he's just endorsing its usage in a clinical context, that is way different than railing lines.

yes, hes mentioned it before as a depression aid and recreationally at parties. Also previously mentioned Ambien and a little wine being "magic" and magic mushrooms supposedly. Everyone got their demons, take from it what you will.

> Musk takes ketamine in small doses to treat depression and uses higher doses of the drug at social events

According to a WSJ report. Which may be true. But where’s the evidence? Why not stick to provable facts instead of this type of tabloid content? This is Reddit-level discourse.

The Wall Street Journal is a tabloid?

Lately, it’s right up there with the mags at the grocery store that tell me that I just won’t believe what X did.

He bought a company. He experiments with it. The company might do well, or it might fold. Like any other private company. Big deal.

All that bc he rebranded twitter?
