Elon Musk allegedly took large amounts of drugs including ketamine while advising Trump – report
You know, this is the libertarian argument for drugs and hookers for me. This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you're rich enough. I just want it to be legal for everyone regardless of whether they're billionaires.
Cannabis is the stupidest example imo, it's criminalisation causes more harm than good, it's the kingpins and people profiting off of prisoners, pushing and advocating for continued criminalisation.
Private prisons are one of the worse outcomes of austerity, it encourages laws like this just to send as many poor people to prison as possible just so they can line their pockets, the most braindead one being the conjoined enterprise laws in the UK, which is a perfect case study as to why austerity which is musks entire strategy for economic prosperity, is a grift which is only ever capable of working for your government if there's a scapegoat which you can blame your economic strategy failing on.
The only real issue I have with smoking weed is the lung cancer bit, but cigs apparently are perfectly fine 🤷♂️
This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you’re rich enough
YES! However, EVERYTHING is legal in the US, if you’re rich enough or have some sort of connection to the rich - see Jan 6 folks.
Using ketamine recreationally to get high isn’t legal
And yet, when is Elon's court date?
If a law isn't enforced, then it functionally doesn't exist. If the law only exists for some of the population, then it's a tool of oppression.
"What am context?"
Hey, can't a guy dance around the room with a fucking chainsaw without people making allegations anymore?
There literally was a video of him nodding off, high out of his mind during the inauguration.
I mean, come on, who hasn't danced around a room with a chainsaw before??
Seriously, folks need to let loose lol
Fascists love their drugs don’t they?
The Fascism-to-Incontinence pipeline is real.
To be fair we all love our drugs. Unless you like to be sober, that's cool too.
Edit: Musk is a piece of shit either way, no excuses there.
Yeah but there's a difference between smoking a bowl in the comfort and safety of your home versus taking mind altering substances while making major economic and policy decisions for a country...
I'm pretty sure the problem is they're so quick to throw someone in prison for doing the same thing and regulate what poor people are allowed to take whilst taking it themselves.
Well. I would argue that drug use is all about hammering reality into a tolerable/enjoyable shape. Fascists by definition also transform through force. The key distinction seems to be a drug user themselves become transformed through chemical force, where as the fascist forces others to change using violence/threat of violence. In both cases though, there exists a certain egomaniacal reluctance to meet the terms of reality, and instead attempt to change the terms through force. There is a very consistent common bond between the hyper wealthy, the tyrannical, and the drug dependant, to be very stubborn and narcissistic. In all three, the ego is driving the bus, and there is some corruption with self esteem. In all three there is a fundamental inability to accurately assign value. A lot of money/power/release is never enough. The only acceptable amount is "more". And the compulsion to find more: wealth, or power, or opportunity to use substances, becomes the whole point of waking life. Until it's just you and the compulsion in the world alone, and every thing and every one else is just a puzzle you solve to get more like a rat in an experiment. Long story short, people at odds with reality tend to use similar and often overlapping tactics to get by. What do the tyrant, the drug addict, and the billionaire all have in common? A singular focus to fill an unfillable hole.
Starting with Religion.
Everyone loves drugs regardless of political leanings. Everyone is just hypocritical when it comes to the one they like, even you I bet :)
There is no scientific evidence for your claim. Gibberish.
Give all of them legal access to any drugs they want in copious quantities. Encourage them to take more. Let problems solve themselves.
I'm all for this.
Can't solve the fentanyl crisis without knowing what it is, right?
Also, give them submarines
A Titanic idea
If standard TV is any measure, eventually they'll all die of Fentanyl overdoses.
DUI hire
Underrated comment.
"Allegedly"
Dude was caught grinding on camera. Nothing alleged about it.
Another junky trying to run our country.
He's more ketamine than blood
no waaaaay! really? wow.... positively shocked
is that news?
he's visibly high in some videos
When people do stupid things you might ask them "are you on drugs?" Sarcastically. In this case it was a serious question. At the highest level.
Has anyone else noticed that we don't have many dystopian/apocalyptic movies but way more documentaries these days?
He should've gone with that angle after the sieg heils. "Sorry bros, my bad, I was just stoned off my monstrously deformed and hideously botched nuts".
I hate Elon as much as any sane person, but who gives a fuck about "allegedly"? Wake me up when there's an actual story.
Because unless it's proven by a court, they have to write allegedly.
This changes nothing, and really shouldn't surprise anyone bc most people just assumed he was, based on his constantly bizarre behavior, from doing a fucking Nazi salute on stage to the micro moments like when he looked like he was glitching/buffering during Trump's inauguration.
Given that the administration pretty successfully managed to gaslight the entire nation after two nazi salutes, that we all saw, I doubt we would even be seeing so many negative headlines about Musk right now if the narrative wasn't intentionally being shifted that way by people in the white house. He went from the untouchable dark force who was running the country, to the guy in the cheese hat that annoyed everyone and who gave himself bladder issues by doing too much ketamine.
Thiel got him to serve as the face of dismantling the federal government, and then pushed him aside once Kratsios was confirmed by the senate. Stealing government data to dump into AI was something they have had planned since Trump's first administration. They just needed a public scapegoat, and Musk was more than willing to take the bait.
That said, have people seriously forgotten that in every headline any accusation is always "alleged" even if it's something like rape or murder?
Oh. Good point. I admit I got ahead of the facts there, so thanks for that.
So much upvotes/activity from people on these kind of empty headlines, and it just weakens the cause against fascism in my eyes.
Yes and..... Is he going to face drug charges.
lol
Yeah, you could tell. This isn't really news, just a confirmation.
No surprise there. It's good is being called out.
The sad thing is, I think his sentences are a little more complete and coherent than Trumps' even in his drugged out state.
That's not a high (heh) bar to beat
he brazenly showcases his addiction to power and money and you thought he was going to exercise control with drugs? I've got a place in heaven to sell ya
And the sun rises in the east.
I wish Trump would take some shrooms. It might make him more human.
It does help with empathy and unresolved trauma, but Trump seems to be so broken that there's no fix to it
This because he's the trauma. Inflicting it on everyone around him from the moment he was born.
If his mother took shrooms she woulda aborted him by blowing up both Fred and herself.
I'd rather he develop a fentanyl habit.
Hopefully he’ll OD in a pool or something!
in other news, the sun is hot
Least surprising headline of the year.
The following people would be surprised to hear that.
END OF LIST
What? Somebody thought he would stop his habit after taking office? Also when in Rome, get high with the Romans... I don't think Trump even switches on without the right substances.
I'm shocked, just shocked that and unhinged drug addict would be doing drugs. Who could have possibly known that would happen? If only there was someone who could have warned us like literally fucking everyone already did.
i think he rotates drugs, everytime he comes off a specific drug, he goes on a different drug everytime.
Source: we could see it.
Don't know why the media keeps using words like "allegedly" and "reportedly" when there's plenty of photographic evidence to eliminate the doubt. It's no secret this moron is a junkie.
"Allegedly" and "reportedly" are magic words that keeps the lawyers away, since no media company actually wants the liability of being an authoritative source of information.
Because it's standard
None of this shit is new, Biden had them ignore it, and so did trump the first time.
Biden should have yanked every single contract, instead he made multiple and constant exceptions for Musk's companies.
The CEO of a company with government contracts blatantly spiraling into drug induced psychosis did nothing but normalize it.
Like, why do people honestly expect trump to be better than Biden? Why would you ever think trump might possibly do the right thing after Biden wouldn't?
trump and Biden might both be bad in the same areas, but Trump's admin will always be worse.
I hope you are using "you" in the general sense. I never for a second believed the Donvict would ever do the right thing even from when he was a coke head in 80's. He always has and always will do the wrong thing and keep landing ass backwards in cash doing it.
No shit
Nope, only ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms
This is news?
The K-hole A-hole
Did they think he would just stop after they "hired" him?
so suprised.... not. billionaires arent people.
Seems about right.
We know
Not enough drugs to redeem his incredible amounts of evil and cringe
No AI is gonna out hallucinate me!
No.
Fuck this guy. Let him be the most sober person who did what he did, when he did it. No excuses.
You cannot be the one person who constantly suffers throughout your entire life because you made one poor decision while intoxicated once, while this guy literally has billions, and is the richest person on earth. The news is covering him, and making fucking fake excuses for him.
"Roman salute"
They should all be re-labeled as performance drugs, if that's the case.
Source of this"report?" Don Jr upset the strong-case-for-more-chlorine-in-the-gene-pool wouldn't share..?
Every last one of them is an addict of some sort. His Secretary of Health is a heroin addict.
DJT, himself was a adderall/cocaine user, to the point he became incontinent.
I hope he has bladder cysts...big ones
This is your country on drugs.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
In other news,sky continues to be blue
We know.
What's the opposite of "news"? Because "news" implies things/stories/topics that are new.
Would "olds" be an acceptable term?
That is going to one hell of a hangover.
I hate that ketamine has to take the brunt of this...
This is not how ketamine makes people behave.
This is not how ketamine makes people behave.
A shot of tequila won't make me shit on your doorstep, but 5-6 bottles in an hour who knows what's gonna happen.
There's a difference between use and abuse.
Musk has not been using it medically, even if he paid a doc to write a prescription.
Depends on the dosage. More than a little but less than too much and your body becomes that of a drunk toddler. But yea most people using ket are chiller than him lol
It doesn't turn you into a psychopath. This dude is just a piece of shit who happens to like ketamine (and has the resources for basically infinite supply)
Quite noticeable
Unmistakable, even.
What do you me-
Oh.
Indubitably, some may say!
