Musk Says His Ketamine Prescription Is in Investors' Best Interests

[Tom of Temecula]

Elon Musk said that his prescribed use of ketamine alleviates periods of low mood and is in the best interest of investors in Tesla Inc. and the other companies he runs. For Wall Street, “what matters is execution,” Musk said in an interview with former CNN anchor Don Lemon streamed Monday on YouTube. “From an investor standpoint, if there is something I’m taking, I should keep taking it,” he said referring to Tesla’s success.

Musk said he takes the drug as prescribed periodically to treat what he described as “chemical tides” that lead to depression-like symptoms. Doctors can prescribe ketamine to treat pain and depression and at higher doses, the drug acts as a sedative. It can also cause hallucinations, and overdosing can lead to unconsciousness and dangerously slowed breathing, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration.

An article in the Wall Street Journal in January said that executives in the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive officer’s companies had grown concerned about his recreational drug use. Musk responded that he hadn’t failed drug tests and, in a post on his X social network, that “whatever I’m doing, I should obviously keep doing it!”

Ketamine can be infused in a medical setting, or a close relative of the drug, Spravato, can be taken as a nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. Musk didn’t give additional details on his prescription in the interview.

1. Sounds like Musk is addicted

2. i had ketamine for surgery once

That shit will fuck you up and completely untether you from reality. It was totally frightening. Musk is probably taking smaller doses, more often. No wonder he's such a hot mess.

6. That sounds terrifying.

I recently was given a migraine cocktail in the ER that had, I guess, prescription strength Benadryl and it just tore me up. The nurse had to stop it half way through the IV dose because I was very sensitive to it. I hated it, though it did get rid of my migraine!! I think I withstood morphine slightly better during an old ER trip.

Your description sounds like a nightmare to me.

3. His fall will be speeectaaaaacular. Pop corn is ready. TFG had a billion dollars of his debt to a ...

... bank he almost brought down gauranteed by the Clinton administration. (I've always wondered why he wasn't at least a little grateful for that. Imagine: If it weren't for Big Dog, TFG would have crash and burned decades ago.). But who in their right mind, with that kinda money will step in to protect Elon and his banks?

It'll be great when he flies tourist back to South Africa.

7. He needs to keep taking it but up his dose considerably

And preferably mix it with alcohol to maximize the health benefits.
