Elon Musk’s drug use worried his co-workers and company board members so much that they asked him to go to rehab and even take a break from work to get off various substances, including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine; according to a publication of the “Wall Street Journal”.

Musk’s close friend, former Tesla CEO Larry Ellison, also the billionaire co-founder of Oracle, went so far as to urge Musk to travel to Hawaii during the winter of 2022 to “take a break from work and get off the drugs,” the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. .

Ellison’s suggestion came amid growing concerns among Musk’s friends and associates that Musk’s drug use was worsening, according to the newspaper.

At a party in the Hollywood Hills—the time of Larry Ellison’s offer— a person who attended the event said that Elon Musk took liquid ecstasyafter his personal security cleared the floor so he wouldn’t be disturbed, the report continues.

The “Wall Street Journal” reported that Elon Musk’s frequency of drug use has contributed to a ‘pressure culture’ between his friends and the directors of his various companieswhich created an “expectation” for them to use drugs with him in order to maintain the social status they gained by being around the billionaire!

Elon Musk is reportedly one of many Silicon Valley executives who have tried ketamine, LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and “magic mushrooms,” according to newspaper reports.

Despite the fact that proclaims that “he doesn’t like doing illegal drugs”Musk’s drug use has in the past put him and his companies at risk.

After smoking weed on an episode of a Joe Rogan podcast, NASA forced SpaceX to commit in writing that the company follows federal guidelines regarding drug use in the workplace. The company spent $5 million in taxpayer money to properly train its employees about the rules, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The billionaire also shared on X that has a “prescription” for ketamine, which recent research suggests can be used to treat depression.

Experts told Business Insider that the combination of reported hard drugs used by Elon Musk poses several health risks, especially at his age of 52. These include arrhythmias, incontinence and psychosis if the user has bipolar disorder, which the CNBC reported that Musk once hinted to his Twitter followers in 2017.
