WSJ – Musk’s Drug Use Worries Executives and Board Members at SpaceX, Tesla – Daily Kos

Hadnt seen this yet here, so wanted to post it before hitting the lights. For this to have made it past the Journals lawyers and the Murdochs, things must be grave and off the rails.

Headline

Elon Musk Has Used Illegal Drugs, Worrying Leaders at Tesla and SpaceX

Subhead

Some of executives and board members fear the billionaires use of drugsincluding LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms and ketaminecould harm his companies

Two key grafs

People close to Musk, who is now 52, said his drug use is ongoing, especially his consumption of ketamine, and that they are concerned it could cause a health crisis. Even if it doesnt, it could damage his businesses.

Illegal drug use would likely be a violation of federal policies that could jeopardize SpaceXs billions of dollars in government contracts. Musk is intrinsic to the value of his companies, potentially putting at risk around $1 trillion in assets held by investors, tens of thousands of jobs and big parts of the U.S. space program.
