NEW YORK, 9th Jan. Tesla head Elon Musk’s alleged drug use has left Tesla and SpaceX executives and board members worried as reported on Monday his consumption of LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms can jeopardize his health, and his businesses.
Some executives and board members at his companies “have developed a persistent concern that there is another component driving his behaviour: his use of drugs.” In new report in The Wall Street Journal claimed that in recent years.
Musk has used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private parties, the report claimed, cited sources and others with knowledge of the matter.
Alex Spiro, an attorney for Musk, told the WSJ that his client is “regularly and randomly drug tested at SpaceX and has never failed a test”. He referred to “false facts” in the report, without detailing those.
People close to Tesla and SpaceX CEO were quoted as saying in the report that his drug use is ongoing, and “he’s consuming ketamine”.
Musk said in August last year he has a prescription to use the drug as an “antidepressant”.
Musk posted on X late on Sunday that “WSJ is not fit to line a parrot cage for bird”.
He appeared on comedian Joe Rogan’s podcast in which he smoked what Rogan said was marijuana and drank whiskey in 2018.
The Pentagon has multiple contracts with Musk’s SpaceX, began looking into Musk’s marijuana use, because it’s prohibited for someone with a government security clearance.
“After that one puff with Rogan, I agreed, at NASA’s request, to do 3 years of random drug testing,” Musk said in his post on Sunday.
“Not even trace quantities were found of any drugs or alcohol,” he added.
