If a story got out that the boss of a local black-owned business was smoking weed out back with his employees, they would all be arrested so fast…
Yes and musky is doing way harder drugs than weed
Had to look it up, you’re not kidding
At parties in recent years, Musk has been spotted taking ketamine recreationally through a nasal spray and drinking liquid ecstasy from a water bottle
Idk if you heard, but ketamine seems to be the new in drug right now. I have no idea why, it existed when I was in high school over 20 years ago but I never saw it then. These days it’s at all the music fests and I just found out a bunch of my friends started using it as of the last 6 months. I don’t get out much so when I heard about them using it I was caught off guard. The only thing we all would do in the past is smoke weed and sometimes take some shrooms. I absolutely will not be trying that out, that’s above anything I ever wanted to tangle with…
Nasal spray esketamine (Spravato brand) is an approved drug for treatment resistant depression these days. Maybe that air of legitimacy has excited people?
I might try the nasal. Snorting it is too much fucking effort.
Nasal spray is awesome. I never snort it anymore

That seems backwards.
And he is supplying parts and services to high security government projects. How does he have a security clearance?
Thanks sherlock .
In which state? Can’t imagine anyone would care in the states I go to.
Rules with prison consequences for the poor, don’t apply to the rich.
Arrest this hypocrite fuck and give him the same federal prison sentence a poor black man would get.

“Why don’t my subordinates enjoy doing drugs with me? I specifically requested it.”
“There he goes again, off to take more pills. Pop, pop.”
Magnitude?
That scene where they’re courting the rich kid and he steals it… horrifying
The emperor has no clothes, but the pragmatic cowards he surrounds himself with are afraid to tell him.
It sure seems like the people who told him the truth got ejected from his orbit. Now all that’s left are the grifters.
He’s so cool and laid back frfr
What a badass 50 year old man, living his edgy teenage dreams
Take everything you feel about this, and apply it to everyone you know who looks down on their peers who don’t drink.
I don’t think you can vote to fire them from their jobs though.
: cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms
It obvious that Musk is keeping the good S tier stuff for himself and only sharing the B rank stuff with board members.
I’m curious what drugs you have in your S tier

Ugh… Too much future in that one.

A drug that makes you happy.
Wtf was that??
The Kids in the Hall.
My apologies for not replying good sir (my notifications are bugged). Drugs of the pharmaceutical variety not normally available by prescription are sometimes S tier. Lets say for instance that Lab grade DMT would be one of them. There are plenty of amphetamine varieties, various opioid and opioid-like varieties along with gabanergics that have been used in studies or even taken off market.
Surprised no one mentioned Wolf of Wall Street here yet, where McConaughey’s character is like “How the fuck else are you suppose to do this job?”. Not that its defensible, but to highlight the ethical bankruptcy of all those characters with the “step on whoever, stab whoever” results oriented approach with no moral or legal consideration.
alt text/explaining the joke to the blind: An image of Lenny from "The Simpsons" kissing a box of Special K, itself a joke to the fact that Elon Musk likes to use Ketamine, commonly called "Special K" on the street.

No way these guys are complaining about free crack. Lightweights I tell ya
Cocaine. Crack is for the poors. We get the top shelf shit here.
I mean… I’ll do it
I wouldn’t. Having to be around Elon sounds like a waste of drugs.
“Do you mind if I take mine to go, Elon?”
On the flip side, it might be the only way to be around that turd.
I don’t enjoy my job, and it has led to more drinking. If I had to spend time around Elon, I’d have to be borderline comatose.
gross. i bet even when he peaks and is in a state of pure bliss, the best anyone could hope for in terms of good company is that he rambles about how great and positive and beneficial and necessary all his ideas are.

Where are you from? I’ve never been to a community who likes him who isn’t actively ignoring how much of a giant piece of shit nepo-baby he is.
Probably true, but it would be worth the Tesla executive salary for a little while.

Irrelevant comment, but I wish that psychedelics were not classified by people as drugs. There is little in common in impact to your health and to your “high” between traditional drugs like cocaine and opioids and psychedelics.
Why wouldn’t they be drugs? The word drug in itself is not negative. Seems to me they are very obviously drugs.
They mean, they shouldn’t be scheduled. Regulated, like tobacco and alcohol, but not scheduled.
Caffeine, chocolate, heck aspirine, acetamenaphine, and countless other drugs aren’t even regulated. But it’s clear what they’re trying to say: many scheduld drugs shouldn’t be illegal to produce or use.

Did not know that was a thing, did some reading on it. How distracting is it for you? Do you have “bad” or “good” micro trips?

I mean, they not only change things in your body and meet the definition of a drug. But make far more of a change in your body than say Tylenol, ibuprofen, or nicotine. They impare your judgment more than weed or alcohol. Maybe less long term effects than alcohol, as long as you don’t kill someone in the process since you perception of reality is impared. It makes perfect sense that it is considered a drug. Now, whether they want to legalize it with stipulations to keep people around you safe (i.e., regulate the drug) is a different discussion.
I think it’s person to person and dose dependent. I can’t walk after even delta 8. Unless I take enough acid to become one with the world, I’m fine. I enjoy life a little more at most.
I don’t give a shit about regulation, but being able to buy some of these chemicals in the open would be so much safer.
my hands never work on shrooms
If all the major CEOs of companies used psychedelics, the world would probably be better.
I really doubt that, they already don’t see their workforce as people, imagine the hellscape they’d create with even more unhinged visions.
The hope would be they’d realize they are people

There are absolutely impacts on your health though. Stuff changes your personality and sometimes, often, not for the best
I know a lot of former friends with brain rot from our crazy days
I did not say that they are safe, especially if taken regularly, but they are quite different. And there is evidence that psychedelics do change people for the better too and are being investigated for things like depression treatment.
LOL WUT? A drug is everything that changes your psyche in any way in my book. Heroin, Alcohol, LSD, Weed, Paracetamol, Caffeine, Cocaine. It’s ALL drugs!
I agree, and I know you didn’t say otherwise, but musk has reportedly been doing coke as well
Except for LSD, LSD can create crystals in your brain and make you trip for weeks. The rest of them, yeah, I agree with you.
LSD does not form crystals in your brain or anywhere else in your body. That’s some nonsense they made up to scare kids in the 60’s.
My partner knows someone it happened to. The guy ended up in the hospital for weeks because he was constantly tripping. I also tried to google it, and I found several reddit threads of people complaining about trips that weren’t ending like they’re supposed to.
Whatever happened to the person your partner knows, it was not LSD forming crystals in their brain. That’s not a thing.
I don’t know what happened to him. I just know it happened. Maybe it’s not crystals forming in the brain, but that does happen, which was the point of my comment.

This can’t possibly be a real person.
This sentence is so poorly constructed and contradictory that it seems like it was written by a bottom of the barrel LLM.
Nope, I’m a real person.
I just know it happened. Maybe it’s not crystals forming in the brain, but that does happen, which was the point of my comment.
For something that totally happens, Google is completely unaware of it. Why can’t you just accept you’re wrong? Sounds like you confused what you heard.
LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals. It is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in the ergot fungus that grows on rye and other grains. It is produced in crystal form in illegal laboratories, mainly in the United States. These crystals are converted to a liquid for distribution.
Created as a crystal, not crystals in the brain, seems like the most likely explanation.
The point was lost when you started repeating someone else’s made up bullshit about LSD, repeatedly, like it was factual.
Be open to change rather than closed minded and too arrogant to just admit you were wrong.
I did say maybe it wasn’t crystals, but a guy did spend a bunch of time in the hospital, that happened. And it’s not a random person, it’s my partner who told me this, not some random person. I did concede that it may not be crystals, literally said that. But he did spend a bunch of time in the hospital, that is a fact. Don’t know why people would keep telling me I’m wrong about someone spending time in the hospital.
It’s not forming crystals in your brain…
Some people with a relatively unstable psychology and/or who don’t follow the “set and setting,” could experience a bad trip which can trigger an episode of predisposed psychosis. More often than not, this can easily be prevented by having a competent sitter guiding you and not going full out with a heroic (max-effect) dose your first time.
Think of it like learning to drive, you wouldn’t hop into a sports car solo, and expect not to have a good chance of screwing something up
“My mate Paul…”
The guy ended up in the hospital for weeks because he was constantly tripping.
More than likely they were dosed with something other than lsd, or they had a psychotic episode brought on by LSD. There are designer drugs out there that people sell as LSD, that have a much longer active time.
LSD does hang around in the brain longer than one would initially believe based on dosage, but it’s recently been proven that the lysergic acid gets temporarily trapped in serotonin receptors.

Should be mirrored to work best on Lemmy but this is easily the best reaction image for dumb comments I ever saw.
Well now I don’t know if you’re just a very helpful person or making fun of me, this is confusing.
Both.
Oh no, if there’s one thing I hate it’s value for money!

Capitalism continues to amaze. Who would have guessed new depravity could emerge at this late stage?
Chasing new highs. Depravity + literally endless money = constantly increasing depravity.
This might be a bit tin-foil, but I really don’t buy a lot of this news.
If the likes of Andy Jassy or Tim Cook were reportedly huge crack users, you could all but guarantee that there would be a VP or SVP that would be plotting a coup, and you’d bet that they’d have full shareholder approval. Musk owns most of his companies, bar Tesla, where he owns around 13-15%. Surely at this point there would be someone either internal or external that would love to own Tesla, even if just for the name?
Tesla doesn’t really have much to gain by being attached to Musk. If anything, the outlandish shit he’s got that company doing instead of fucking making the cars he’s said for years they would make holds them back.
Take the news at face value, and it paints a picture where law enforcement will be involved already. Now, take it, knowing that Musk is a deeply troubled man that lost his family and is neck-deep in the alt-right machine alongside people that can handle it far better than him, and this “news” sounds like the kind of rumour that Musk would probably spread himself to make him seem more…edgy?
If it’s true, coercing someone to take highly illegal drugs is probably a crime in the US, and probably one that would warrant the police to maybe pay these people a visit, perhaps?
I have trouble to buy this. Tesla’s shares are massively over-inflated, and it is all due to Elon’s media over-exposition from back when it wasn’t so negative. Anyone with enough Tesla’s shares and the capacity to play politics within the company understands that killing the clown means the whole ship sinks down. The correct play here is to slowly rid yourself of Tesla stock before it completely crashes, not to draw attention into him.
it’s interesting that all these stories are running in the WSJ and mainly other Murdoch rags. Failure son James is on the board - and the ol’ Dirty Digger and the Oracle of Bullshit himself were photographed sitting together at the Superbowl this time last year. Whatever is going on is being orchestrated for some reason that shall likely soon become apparent.
If a successful exit is the play, surely there’s no better reason to push an external candidate to take over? It’s an immediate exit at a high price, or an opportunity to offload stock on a positive note instead. This assumes someone comes in with the sole intention of selling to a company like Ford.
While I don’t disagree about Tesla’s valuation, people have been saying this for years and years now. When will it be true?
This assumes someone comes in with the sole intention of selling to a company like Ford.
This is impossible unless Tesla’s stock crashes to reality back from fairy land. It’s the average upper class gambler who is over valuing it, not other companies keenly aware that developing their own electric cars is much cheaper.
Ooh, a hit piece planted in the WSJ. Knives are out.
as usual
