Elon Musk's drug use has long been known, but consumption increased significantly during Donald Trump's election campaign last year, people familiar with his activities told the New York Times. Elon Musk's drug use went so far beyond casual use that it even touched his bladder, which he is said to have shown to several people himself.
During Donald Trump's election campaign, Elon Musk carried a box of medicines containing 20 pills. Elon Musk also took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, the New York Times reported.
Elon Musk told people he was taking so much ketamine that it was affecting his bladder, the report said. It was the same time when Musk faced family drama with overlapping romantic relationships and legal battles for his children, their mothers, etc.
Tesla's sales have fallen in part due to a negative reaction to Musk's political activities and bombastic personality, while SpaceX this week suffered another setback in a key rocket program. Tesla shares fell 0.8% before regular trading on Friday in New York. The stock has fallen 11% this year, recovering largely from a deep decline in the first quarter.
