‘After that one puff’ Musk responds to drug addiction controversy

Elon Musk responded to allegations of drug addiction, revealing a commitment to three years of random drug testing at NASA’s request after a single instance of marijuana use on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Musk emphasized that all tests showed no traces of drugs or alcohol. Attorney Alex Spiro defended Musk, dismissing the Wall Street Journal’s concerns as containing “false facts” without specifying.

Former Tesla director Linda Johnson Rice’s frustrations and drug-use worries were mentioned. Musk, with a net worth of $219.4 billion, oversees six companies, but the report raised concerns among executives about his alleged use of substances like LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and ketamine. Witnesses claim his drug use continues, with a focus on ketamine. Despite a prescription for ketamine as an antidepressant, controversy escalated after Musk smoked marijuana on Rogan’s podcast in 2018, prompting a Pentagon review of his security clearance.
