The effect that Musk mentioned was, “you can’t really get work done,” which feels less like “Google search” and more like “personal experience.” And I said that “it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point,” which feels like the right sort of certainty for this sort of conclusion from that evidence.

I wasn’t surprised when reading the rest of the comments in this comment section that somebody mentioned that he’s been known to use ketamine recreationally.

Hot Tub Time Machine 3 practically writes itself.

Last year, Musk told CNN’s Don Lemon that he has a ketamine prescription and uses the drug roughly every other week to help with depression symptoms. When Lemon asked if Musk ever abused ketamine, Musk replied, “I don’t think so. If you use too much ketamine you can’t really get work done,” then said that investors in his companies should want him to keep up his drug regimen.

I’m not completely sure what the criteria is for “abusing” ketamine, but since Musk seems to know what happens when you use too much ketamine, it seems to me like he’s probably abused it at some point.

I don’t know specifically about elderly people, but I have heard it said that historically, people who cannot afford to eat have a higher chance of overthrowing their government.

And so it is often in a government’s interest to have some sort of social programs that provide food security.
