It seems that Elon Musk's drug use has been discussed on other sections of BL, but can we have EADD's take on the guy?
He has certainly seemed to be becoming more and more 'eccentric', for lack of a better word, over recent months.
With that speech he made a few months ago, where nearly everyone accused him of throwing a Nazi salute to the crowd, it seemed to me that it was just a very clumsy and misjudged gesture of clutching his heart and forcefully punching his love out to the audience. That is also what Musk states was his intention, and I for one believe him. (Nazi salutes do not, and never have been, a gesture or movement that begins at the heart.)
Taken out of proper full context it does somewhat resemble a nazi salute, but I really dont think that was his intention. He continues to talk about this to this day apparently.
Also apparently he didnt recently leave his job within Trump's government, in the 'Department of Government Efficiency' he was forcibly ejected, following him stating in an interview that he doesnt agree with everything Trump says. Which apparently displeased mein Führer Trump. So Musk was out on his ear the very next day.
IIRC, his wealth has declined by 100 billion or so over the last few months. (Partly due to Trump's tarrifs affecting the stock prices of Tesla, but for other reasons too.)
His behaviour is becoming increasing erratic and unpredictable.
I really don't know what to make of it all.
There's videos doing the rounds on youtube, wher Musk admits taking ketamine on prescription for his mood. There's also videos circulating of him looking "wasted" in various settings to do with recent political events.
I'm hardly going to sit here and judge him for taking substances, as obviously that would be immensly hypocritical of me, but it is somewhat concerning where people with immense wealth, power, and influence can seemingly become more and more 'erratic.'
Again for want of a better word. Perhaps he is self medicating. But such people have responsibilities?
Perhaps it is fair to say that such people should be responsible for being the most sane and balanced version of themselves possible. Perhaps that's what he's trying to achieve. God knows tbh.
I'd be interested to hear other Brit's and European's views. Also American's views of course, as I'm sure many will have more background, but then the thread might be deemed not to belong in EADD?
As an EADDer can I request that this thread remains in this subforum, as a kind of European perspective on this powerful and influential man? He'll go down in history for sure. It remains to be seen how history will judge him, and what direction his mental state, drug use, politics, and businesses will go in next.
