The Journal reported executives at SpaceX worried Elon Musk was on drugs after an “unhinged” all-hands meeting in which he slurred and rambled.
Guys let’s not make taking drugs look even worse by association it with that guy
I don’t know, this might make a few kids skip taking drugs. Maybe his cringeworthyness is finally doing something good.
I really do think he started doing drugs a few years back.
He smoked pot on Joe Rogan’s show.
He doesn’t seem like the sort of person who can have the self-control to stop there. He’s try uppers and downers and anything else to make himself feel good now that people are calling him out on his bullshit.
The dude was on top of the fucking world in February 2018 when he launched his car into orbit. In July of that year, he called a guy a pedo because the guy said Elon’s toy submarine idea was worse than useless.
If he had kept his dumb mouth shut, we would all still mostly believe in Elon’s bullshit myth.
Instead, it’s mostly common knowledge that Elon is a narcissistic man baby, and has been for his entire life.
He would rather we didn’t know about the emerald mine, but everyone knows. We know he bought his way to every success he’s ever had, and that he has zero natural talent.
And that has to drive him mad. So he does drugs and plays video games to escape from reality. A reality where he isn’t loved, and is actually viewed as the prime example of the problem with allowing billionaires to exist at all.
It was that Joe Rogaine interview, marijuana was his gateway drug.
Proprecia so his plugs don’t fall out 😅
Doesn’t he slur and ramble most of the time? I have never heard him make a sentence without stuttering.
Which means this must’ve been really bad for it to stand out so much.
I will admit, him being on drugs did not occur to me as a possible explanation for his ‘taking tesla private’ tweet that torpeedoed his networth, but having been confronted by it now I am having a hard time not believing it.
Musk’s drug use, which includes LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine, according to people familiar with the matter, is at the center of an extensive new report from The Journal that details how executives at several of the billionaire’s companies have struggled to manage his substance use and erratic behavior.
Just FYI
According to people familiar with the matter
Means “We have no source for this and are probably making it up”
Business Insider is a tabloid shitrag these days
This is based on a Wall Street Journal report (which I didn’t link because it’s paywalled), so your strange anger at BI is a wee bit misplaced.
No. Media bullshit is sitting at the core of a lot of today’s problems and the massive polarisation on basically any topic.
Anger at low level journalism rags and even more at outlets trying to look respectable while actually having a similiar quality (and that definitely includes Business Insider ever since they were bought by the shithole of journalism that is Axel Springer SE) cannot be misplaced at all.
These are the same people that let him fire a car into orbit around Mars with an “empty” space suit in the driver’s seat.
I guess that Marijuana that he awkwardly smoked to be “cool” was a gateway drug to much worse.
Yeah, the most powerful drug: money …joking, he was probably under the best mix his personal lab could have created
Companies perform drug checks for a reason. People who lead large organizations while regularly getting off on drugs are usually the biggest psychopaths around.
The higher up you go, the less likely it is that you’d be tested for drugs. We could empty board rooms if we insisted on drug testing at that level.
And that reason is to keep insurance premiums down.
Drug tests are just to keep their boots on the faces of the workers. It’s disgusting and invasive.
Because there are no instances in history where forcing drug use had been weaponized at the international level. Man, sometimes it’s so easy to see how lemmy is close to the same dark web that spams drug adverts on matrix.
You’re seriously suggesting that drug tests are designed to protect employees from employers forcing them to do drugs? That’s ridiculous.
False username, not sentient.
Hasn’t he been relatively open about his habitual micro and macro dosing of ketamine?
There’s a world of difference between a micro and a macro dose. You don’t want to be anywhere near work with the latter.
Has there ever been an all-hands meeting where the CEO was not cringeworthy?
I just assume it’s the minimum amount of yearly cringe you have to endure to stay employed.
If a C-level meeting ends up getting more than average press coverage, it turned into cringe.
Of all the problems I have with this man, drugs are not one.
I guess it depends: is he a more awful person because of the drugs, or would he be a more awful person without them?
You mean… he isn’t aways on drugs?!
Maybe he should be
There are them that shouldn’t take drugs. And there are them that NEED to be taking the proper ones under medical direction.
I’ve been thinking Musk needs to be taking some under a Doctor’s care…
What a sad downspiral for the guy. There’s no way this ends well and we’re all forced to attend the party.
