On Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the problem of ketamine
The world's richest man has picked a fight with the President of the United States
His drug use appears increasingly out-of-control. In January 2024, the Wall Street Journal ran an investigation of his use of cocaine and other illegal drugs. But since then, the allegations have exploded. Last week, the New York Times wrote:
Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.
