Musk took drugs with Tesla and SpaceX execs WSJ – Global Village space

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been taking illegal drugs for years, on many occasions alongside the board members and directors of his companies, the Wall Street Journalreportedon Saturday, citing sources who claimed to have either witnessed the drug use or had knowledge of it.

According to the report, Musk has attended some social gatherings in recent years with Tesla board member Joe Gebbia, where he recreationally took ketamine, an anesthetic commonly used to euthanize house pets. Other directors, Antonio Gracias, Kimbal Musk and Steve Jurvetson, have reportedly consumed drugs like ecstasy and LSD with him at several parties, including those held at Hotel El Ganzo, a boutique hotel in Mexico allegedly known for its drug-fueled events.

According to several sources, some of the directors felt pressured to consume drugs with Musk either because refraining could upset the billionaire, or result in themlosing the social capitalof being in the CEOs circle.

Sources told the news outlet that Musks drug use was common knowledge among several current and former Tesla and SpaceX officials, and the volume of his consumption has become concerning in recent years.

However, the companies boards havent investigated Musks alleged drug use nor documented any claims. On the one hand, the use of illegal substances violates antidrug policies at both firms, while on the other, official board minutes could become public, and if they mentioned Musks drug problems, it could put SpaceXs federal contracts and Musks security clearance at risk, the report notes.

The WSJ already reported on Musks alleged illegal drug use last month, claiming that the CEO has a history of using drugs including cocaine, ecstasy, LSD and psychedelic mushrooms. In response to that news piece, Musk lashed out at WSJ on X, saying that the news outletis not fit to line a parrot cage for bird [poop emoji].Musk noted that he regularly took random drug tests at SpaceX, which he never failed. This claim was backed by his lawyer, Alex Spiro.

Later, Musk also tweeted:If drugs actually helped improve my net productivity over time, I would definitely take them!

Neither Musk nor Spiro have commented on the WSJs latest article so far. Teslas general counsel and a SpaceX spokesman have also opted not to respond to requests for comment.
