In a new interview released on Monday, Elon Musk, the 52-year-old entrepreneur behind companies like SpaceX and Tesla, addressed concerns about his use of the drug ketamine. Ketamine is often used for managing pain and treating depression. Musk said he takes prescribed ketamine to help him when he’s feeling down. He told former CNN host Don Lemon that ketamine helps him change his mindset from negative to positive.
Some investors have been worried about Musk’s drug use, but he explained that he believes it benefits Tesla investors. He pointed to Tesla’s success as evidence that his actions, including his use of ketamine, have positive outcomes for investors.
Musk made it clear that he doesn’t use ketamine too often or in large amounts. He said he only uses “a small amount once every other week or something like that.” He also mentioned that he doesn’t think he suffers from long-term depression but uses ketamine when he’s in a “negative chemical state.”
During the interview, Musk also talked about meeting with Donald Trump, who was running for president again. Musk didn’t say who he would support in the upcoming election but mentioned that he was leaning away from supporting Joe Biden, the Democratic president at the time. However, he also said that a lot could change before the election, so he wasn’t committed to supporting Trump either.
On his social media platform X, Musk recently posted that Americans should vote for Republicans in the upcoming election to prevent what he sees as the worsening of certain issues. He mentioned concerns about illegal migration, echoing one of Trump’s talking points.
In summary, Musk discussed his use of ketamine in the interview, explaining how he believes it benefits Tesla investors and emphasizing that it’s not excessive. He also touched on his political views and recent interactions with Donald Trump, indicating his concerns about certain issues facing the country.
