Quote of the Day
“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 Ecstacy 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.”
Bulwark authors describe Elon Musk’s extensive drug use, including heavy ketamine consumption affecting his health, use of Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, and daily intake of around 20 pills—some resembling Adderall—making his credibility weak.
