NYT reports Elon Musk’s drug use went ‘well beyond occasional’ in 2024

Summary
The Times has conducted interviews with 15 people close to Musk and claims he was using ketamine to the point of it affecting his bladder, as well as using other hard drugs, and mixing them.
This would represent a deviation from Musk’s public assertion that his drug use was limited to prescribed treatments for depression, taken every two weeks.
It is unclear whether this habit extends to his time at Dogecoin.
Musk is said to have been aware of when drug tests would be carried out at his companies and was able to adjust his habit accordingly.
The report aligns with previous claims from a source to the Wall Street Journal in January that Musk used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, and that Tesla board members had expressed concern.
