The CEO of Tesla delayed the suggestions that his drug use could affect the belief of investors, Elon Musk stated that ketamine is legal for managing depression, and he dismissed all the negative frame of mind regarding using ketamine.
In an interview with former CNN host “Don Lemon,” Elon Musk said that he finds the anesthetic helpful when he is suffering from a “negative state of mind.”
During an interview, Musk said that when he was depressed, ketamine helped him out of the negative frame of mind.
when Elon Musk was asked if he ever abused drugs, he said that he did not think so and that he only takes a “small amount” once every other week or so.
“If you use much amount of ketamine then you are not able to work and I have a lot of work to do – I put 16 hours a day into my work. That’s normal for me,” Musk said.
“I don’t want to wasted because I can’t get my work done,” he added.
Musk also denied the suggestion that his drugs could affect his government contracts or the perception of investors on Wall Street
The worth of Tesla is about much of the rest of the car industry assorted, from noting. That’s pretty good. They had the best-selling car on Earth last year. So from the investors approach, If I am taking something, I should keep taking it,” he said.
Musk said that he had discussed ketamine, which can be prescribed by doctors for depression and pain, in the past because he thought it could help other people.
The 52-year-old billionaire also discussed with to president of the United States in a meeting in March, in which he said that this meeting was an impromptu visit by the republican candidate to his friend’s house.
President Trump was interested in talking about it so we talked. I don’t remember him saying anything that he hasn’t publicly,” Musk said, adding that Trump had not requested a political donation or other financial support.
Musk said that he may support him for the November presidential election as a candidate or “final stretch” but had not yet made up his mind.
The citizens who were born in South African naturalised US said he was not learning towards a candidate but was “learning away” from US President Joe Biden.
X announced a content collaboration with Lemon in January but Musk canceled “The Don Lemon Show” last week ahead of the airing of the first episode.
Lemon, whose interview with the CEO of Tesla included a tense exchange about hate speech on X, Musk started commitments to free speech “seems not to include questions for him from people like me”.
Elon Musk said later on X that Lemon’s progress was just CNC, but on social media and lacked honesty.
