Elon Musk has defended his use of ketamine in a tense interview which also saw the billionaire push back against claims he was not doing enough to remove harmful content on the social media site formerly known as Twitter.Elon Musk suggested his business success means he"should keep taking" the drug ketamine in a tense interview which also saw the billionaire push back against claims Twitter, now X, was not adequately policing harmful content.
Mr Musk, in a post on the platform, hit back saying he did not like the show's approach, likening it to"CNN, but on social media." When asked about his reported use of ketamine, the billionaire suggested it was"pretty private to ask somebody about a medical prescription," before claiming he used it for mental health reasons.
Ketamine can also cause hallucinations, while overdosing can lead to loss of consciousness and dangerously slowed breathing. Pressed on whether he abused ketamine by Mr Lemon, Mr Musk doubled down on that response, rejecting suggestions he used the drug too frequently and highlighting the success of his businesses to claim it was to the benefit of his shareholders.
