San Francisco. The alleged drug abuse of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has worried the executives and board members of Tesla and SpaceX, as his alleged consumption of LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms could put their health and business at risk. Is.

A new report from the Wall Street Journal claims that in recent years, some executives and board members of their companies have consistently expressed concern about this.

The report, citing sources and others with knowledge of the matter, claims that Musk has often used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private parties.

Musk’s attorney Alex Spiro told the WSJ that his client is “routinely and randomly drug tested at SpaceX and has never failed a test,” he said, citing false facts in the report, without detailing them. “

The report quotes people close to the Tesla and SpaceX CEO as saying that his drug abuse continues, and “he is taking ketamine.”

Musk said in August last year that he had a prescription for this drug to be used as an “antidepressant”.

Responding to the report, the Ax owner posted late Sunday night that “WSJ is not suitable for making a parrot’s cage for the bird.”

In 2018, Musk appeared on comedian Joe Rogan’s podcast, in which he smoked what Rogan called marijuana and drank whiskey.

The Pentagon, which has several contracts with Musk’s SpaceX, has reportedly begun investigating Musk’s marijuana use, as it is prohibited for anyone with a government security clearance.

“After that one conversation with Rogan, I agreed, at NASA’s request, to conduct 3 years of randomized drug testing,” Musk said in his post Sunday.

“No trace of any drugs or alcohol was found,” he said.
