        Had to look it up, you’re not kidding

        At parties in recent years, Musk has been spotted taking ketamine recreationally through a nasal spray and drinking liquid ecstasy from a water bottle

          Idk if you heard, but ketamine seems to be the new in drug right now. I have no idea why, it existed when I was in high school over 20 years ago but I never saw it then. These days it’s at all the music fests and I just found out a bunch of my friends started using it as of the last 6 months. I don’t get out much so when I heard about them using it I was caught off guard. The only thing we all would do in the past is smoke weed and sometimes take some shrooms. I absolutely will not be trying that out, that’s above anything I ever wanted to tangle with…

        And he is supplying parts and services to high security government projects. How does he have a security clearance?

    Rules with prison consequences for the poor, don’t apply to the rich.

    Arrest this hypocrite fuck and give him the same federal prison sentence a poor black man would get.

    The emperor has no clothes, but the pragmatic cowards he surrounds himself with are afraid to tell him.

      It sure seems like the people who told him the truth got ejected from his orbit. Now all that’s left are the grifters.

    Take everything you feel about this, and apply it to everyone you know who looks down on their peers who don’t drink.

    : cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms

    It obvious that Musk is keeping the good S tier stuff for himself and only sharing the B rank stuff with board members.

        He has never been officially diagnosed with autism. He just claims he has Asperger’s (no longer an official diagnosis) and uses it as an excuse to do horrible things.

        And autism does not excuse the horrible things he says and does.

          Too be fair, as a person on the spectrum with very good track record of recognizing other neurodivergents on the spot.

          Elon absolutely reads and acts as a neurodivergent and within that group mostly resembles autism.

          Having said that, to wield that like an excuse his vile and idiotic behavior is simply wrong.

          Everyone on the spectrum is unique, has some great gifts and some deeper flaws. I bet there are intelligent stuff hes good at but i dont believe for second he has what it takes to be a leader of any kind. He’d probably be better suited as an valued assistant to a real expert that knows what task/responsibilities to give and not give to him.

          When i look at musk i see a broken person sick with Addiction of money and power.

          The majority of autists are very progressives we have huge ties to the roots of the lgbt movement. Many of us have an inherent desire for fairness and equality. But Elon Musk has gone so deep in the rabbithole of finding survival within egocentrism he is beyond saving, no longer having the ability to see the world around it as it is.

          Ketamine is psychedelic, those tend to aid the mind into seeing their own flaws and become the better version of themselves. I find it really telling that it does not seem to work on Elon and almost proof that he is actively focused about not coming to terms with reality and refusing to work on hisself. Possibly because he scared shitless that he might feel a guilt from his conscience if he does. Easier to just pay your problems away and hope the atheist are right.

            No, it’s not on the autism spectrum because it isn’t a thing. It isn’t real.

            And unless you have some medical expertise in the area, you deciding he has autism based on traits you think autistic people have is just bigoted against people with autism. Because that is not in any way in your wheelhouse.

            Do you also decide on whether or not someone is gay based on ‘gay traits?’

        I don’t think we need to tarnish autistic people with whatever the fuck is going on in Elon’s oddly shaped head.

    An image of Lenny from "The Simpsons" kissing a box of Special K, itself a joke to the fact that Elon Musk likes to use Ketamine, commonly called "Special K" on the street.

    Surprised no one mentioned Wolf of Wall Street here yet, where McConaughey’s character is like “How the fuck else are you suppose to do this job?”. Not that its defensible, but to highlight the ethical bankruptcy of all those characters with the “step on whoever, stab whoever” results oriented approach with no moral or legal consideration.
