Elon Musk does not think his investors should be concerned with his prescription drug use — particularly ketamine — as long as his businesses continue to be profitable.
Musk told Lemon, 58, that he only takes ketamine “once in a while” when he is in a “negative chemical mind state, stating he typically consumes a small dose every other week. “It’s not a common thing.” Musk hesitated confirming that he has been diagnosed with depression, but said rather there are “times when sort of a negative chemical state in brain like depression.”The X owner — who also shared in the interview that he doesn’t normally do hard drugs or drink alcohol — said sobriety is not an issue for him and that his work corroborates that.
“I’m typically putting in 16-hour days. That’s normal for me, and it’s rare for me to take off even a weekend day, so I don’t really have a situation where I can be not mentally acute for an extended period of time.”In December 2023, it was revealed the “Friends” alum died from the “acute effects of ketamine” after 3,540 ng/ml were found in his peripheral blood source and 3,271 ng/ml were in his central blood source.Dr.
