It’s Musk’s drug of choice
Why does Elon have to consume Ketamine?
Shhhhhh! Dont speak about Musks Special K addiction. Rules for thee, not for me.

He is a danger to us all, man with that much money and completely insane by drug abuse. What if he decides nuclear war would be fun to watch? He is already in control of a country with most nukes in the world so it wouldnt be that hard to arrange. Wouldnt surprise me if he thought he could also stop it if he wanted or control everything about it.
I think being the richest man in the world probably has more to do with it.
Hard dissociatives can make you lose your grasp on reality?
REEEEAAALLLY?
Wow, I’m absolutely stunned at this new information.
Wait, you mean persistent drug abuse can lead to a state of psychosis where people act impulsively, have delusions of grandeur, and have no regard for how their actions impact others?
Surely there aren’t any other historical figures we can compare this to.
Hitler was an addict too
Hitler was meth’d up.
Last year, Musk told CNN’s Don Lemon that he has a ketamine prescription and uses the drug roughly every other week to help with depression symptoms. When Lemon asked if Musk ever abused ketamine, Musk replied, “I don’t think so. If you use too much ketamine you can’t really get work done,” then said that investors in his companies should want him to keep up his drug regimen.
I’m not completely sure what the criteria is for “abusing” ketamine, but since Musk seems to know what happens when you use too much ketamine, it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point.
but since Musk seems to know what happens when you use too much ketamine, it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point.
I don’t agree with that argument, even though I would also bet Musk has done higher doses before. But it doesn’t require you to try it out to know that you aren’t a productive “worker” when you are in a k-hole…
Even if someone wants to be completely charitable, and I’m not inclined to do so, there exists a possibility that his dose is too high. How would he know? It could, therefore, produce the same effects as overuse/abuse.
It’s a little far-fetched to be that charitable, however, and I think it’s more likely he just abuses and tries to hide it. He has billions of dollars and exists in a separate tier of law. Getting a supply of ketamine is probably trivially easy.
Musk got his dealer a government job in DOGE:
At least 10 DOGE staffers identified by The Post are engineers. Among them is Alexandra Beynon, 36, according to Education Department records seen by The Post and an official with knowledge of the matter. Beynon previously was head of engineering at Mindbloom, a company started by her husband, Dylan Beynon, that “offers guided at-home ketamine therapy to transform your mental health.”
Meritocracy through and through
Thinking investors would want him to keep using is addict justification logic.
I hate musk hard but I mean you could learn what happens when you abuse ketamine with a quick Google search and not even have touched a drug in your life.
The effect that Musk mentioned was, “you can’t really get work done,” which feels less like “Google search” and more like “personal experience.” And I said that “it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point,” which feels like the right sort of certainty for this sort of conclusion from that evidence.
I wasn’t surprised when reading the rest of the comments in this comment section that somebody mentioned that he’s been known to use ketamine recreationally.
The words people use to describe falling into a K-hole—the psychedelic trip experienced on high doses of ketamine—read like opposites. Paralyzing. Introspective. Detached. Peaceful. Frightening. Euphoric. Transformative. Near-death.
Seems like you wouldn’t really be able to work thru this but I see your point there no way anyone could interpret that without experience.🙄
Remember kids: every time Elon does a hit of ketamine, a horse goes into surgery completely alert.
Animal cruelty!
And that horse is then given to an air hostess that was sexually assaulted by Musk.
Modern media spin would say Hitler’s just really pumped to see his country compete in the Olympics. He can barely contain his masculine vigor, like any true patriot. 🇺🇲🏈🥇
“off his tits on meth”
My problem with Hollywood’s depictions of Nazis is that they far too often show them as competent and efficient. They handed out advancements based on the shape of faces…
Turns out a lot of people are competent if given a chance. I’d argue that means we should give different kinds of people that chance.
It’s like there’s a reason for diversity, and perhaps equity too. Hell, let’s include people to have their voices heard.
Ketamine: from saving lives in surgeries to inflating egos in boardrooms—what a career pivot. Informative and well-researched yet slightly alarmist.
🐱🐱🐱🐱
It makes you stupid. I never felt on top of the world but it may have led to some strange behavior idk but nothing crazy.
What are the long term effects of having a child with a father who’s a nazi and a ketamine addict? Asking for a South African…
Excessive use of the drug by someone can make
anyoneeveryone feel like they rule the world. --FTFYIn 2018, for example, he took multiple tabs of acid at a party he hosted in Los Angeles. The next year he partied on magic mushrooms at an event in Mexico. In 2021, he took ketamine recreationally with his brother, Kimbal Musk, in Miami at a house party during Art Basel. He has taken illegal drugs with current SpaceX and former Tesla board member Steve Jurvetson.
People close to Musk, who is now 52, said his drug use is ongoing, especially his consumption of ketamine, and that they are concerned it could cause a health crisis. Even if it doesn’t, it could damage his businesses.
So when will the courts treat him as they would a black man with the same substance abuse problems
I don’t know about psychedelics like LSD. You’d think that shit would kill his ego, but it hasn’t.
Those years were around the time he was very pro-LGBT and human rights. Seems like he stopped taking the “we’re all connected” drugs and started taking the “I’m amazing and better than everyone” drugs.
There are definitely folks who come out of psychedelic experiences with strong delusions of grandeur, they usually just don’t have the money or influence to become this big a nuisance over it.
“I am [God]” v. “I am of god/a node in Indra’s Net” or whatever privileged I v. communal I conception that can pop up.
Intention and pre-loading is important, folks!
and that they are concerned it could cause a health crisis.
The word is hoping. Concerned means you fear that it might happen. Stupid people close to Musk, don’t even know English.
Ketamine does not have this effect at all. It doesn’t even directly work on the receptors that would invoke such behavior. Half of the stuff in the article is cherry picked to suit a narrative. It doesn’t even include the effect of thinking one can rule the world outside of the clickbait title. And LMAO at pointing out the ketamine delusions of a nutjob who previously tried to use LSD to communicate with dolphins, that was a new one.
(Source: I have been a ketamine user for 15 years with no problems, and I hosted government approved drug education for a while)
Lilly wasn’t a nut job. His dolphin experiments ultimately failed, but it takes courage to try radical scientific experiments. Consider the common attitude towards science in academia these days where so many people fudge their results because they’re afraid of being considered failures. Failure is a part of science because you can learn from it. One of the cool things about Lilly’s experiments is that he didn’t feel the need to commercialise his experiments. They were mostly based on pure scientific inquiry.
I’m just pointing out what most people should take away from the reference to that guy. They are pointing out that ketamine can make you delusional but then use the worst example out there; somebody who already could be considered delusional. That’s cherry picking.
I get that. I just felt the need to defend lilly a bit because I’ve been reading his books since I was a teenager. It’s like when you read something inaccurate about a topic you know. Just wanting to correct the record somewhat.
Sure thing. I’ll have a look at his stuff.
Recreationally or for depression?
My usage? Recreational. Although I fully understand that it can be used against depression. There’s something beautiful and soothing in the simplicity of life after a ketamine night.
I’m intrigued, but mainly for depression. But unless I get much worse I think I should probably stick to the drugs I already know.
I’m not sure I can suggest that. Its effects are mostly the same among people but I don’t think everybody would benefit from it. There’s also the constant oppression from governments and outside people that might make your state of mind even worse.
Maybe try it out, but don’t go thinking it’s a miracle drug that’ll heal you without you also doing some work.

I have enough drug experience, both prescribed and recreational, that I know better than to think that. But at the same time I understand that subtle things can add up.
The main thing I notice is that it only helps mentally if I go out and do stuff.
Sitting at home and doing it by myself doesn’t really help.
Perhaps farming some fresh, organic produce would help him.
Is this a reference to making drug addicts work the farms after deporting all of the immigrant farm workers?
yes. which is the plan outlined by RFK
I’d just like to note here that RFK’s definition of addicts includes people on antidepressants and ADHD medication.
I’m pretty sure him wanting to send ADHD people there are why he’s not calling them concentration camps.
and antipsychotics
RFK just stole that plan from PKD.
fill me in. i don’t know who this is
Phillip Kindred Dick(aka PKD), an influential american scifi Novelist and avid user of psychadelics among other things. His novels are used as the basis of such movies as Blade Runner, Total Recall, Screamers, The Adjustment Bureau, Minority Report, The Mini-series The Man in The High Castle, and most relevant to this conversation -A Scanner Darkly.
The film A Scanner Darkly centers around a Parole Officer who actively becomes addicted to a new drug while living in a surveillance society. The addiction ultimately results in his permanent impairment and incarceration in a work camp where he is made to farm the same drug he was previously addicted to.
I have not read the book. Unfortunately I’ve found PKD writing style to be challenging to get through, but i’ve always loved his sense of imagination. A Scanner Darkly is a good animated film starring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Junior, Woody Harrelson, and Winona Ryder and I strongly recommend it.
