“small amount once every other week” - his words - doesn't change anyone's behaviour, nor does it cause outbursts like "they want to extort me with money? fuck them!"

so question is how much cocaine does he take in between.

funny how everyone on lemmy is so anti musk, except when it fits your narrative, then you suddenly trust his own words on a topic of which illegal drugs he abuses.... because that is indeed something people are usually honest about ;)

Okay, how about others' words?

Reports include direct accounts from Tesla board member Joe Gebbia, “where Musk took ketamine recreationally through a nasal spray bottle multiple times.”

Also-

In the winter of 2022, former Tesla board member and friend of Musk, Larry Ellison, pushed Musk to visit his private Hawaiian island for a dry out, according to WSJ sources. This seems to have been the worst period for Elon’s drug bender, as other friends encouraged him to take Ellison’s offer, or attend rehab.

None of this can be proof he doesn't take other drugs.

Also, I appended the original comment after you replied.

He does take other drugs. But ketamine is apparently the big one.

And the thing you appended is about trusting Musk. I'm literally saying to go by the direct accounts of people who have been around him.

But ketamine is apparently the big one.

To me he appears to be on some kind of speed and ketamine is literally the opposite.

So while I am not disputing he takes some ketamine, I don't believe that is what is responsible for his erratic behaviour.

Speedballing is a thing.

Well, TIL, maybe he is on both then.
