South Africa phased lead out of petrol in January 2006.

Is it actually known if he regularly uses ketamine? I have seen lot of claims but never any source.

But I'm sure he uses in moderation, he's a very balanced and stable guy. Definitely not enough to cause bladder issues.

This is a joke, right?

It's funny either way, isn't it? Just in very different ways...

Poe's law is dead.

I don't follow world events too much. I know who Elon is, but I have no idea about his personality and stability. I consider myself pretty sensitive to sarcasm over the internet, but I completely missed that.

I don't really mind not understanding that joke, since I don't really care about internet celebrities anyway, but that's an example how someone (hopefully) averagely smart can miss a joke like that.

Is the man who's seemingly acting as the 2nd in command of the current president of the US really a "internet celebrity"? That feels off.

I mean, it's possible he's lying about it for street cred?

But he has claimed to take it: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/18/tech/elon-musk-ketamine-use-d...

He's claimed a lot of things. Pick pretty much any neurodivergency, and it seems like you can find an interview where Musk claimed he hasn't been diagnosed, but he's totally got it.

Except hypochondria, obviously.

I don't think it's productive to try and armchair-diagnose him (although it is fun). Maybe, someday, a court-appointed psychologist will give us an official answer.

>Maybe, someday, a court-appointed psychologist will give us an official answer.

At some level of wealth, in modern-day America, the idea of a court appointing a psychologist against someone's wishes and this actually being enforceable becomes fanciful. Even the idea of punishing such a person for any crime short of publicly documented ritual murder is dubious. I don't know if Elon reached that level of wealth, but I suspect he has.

Strong pedophilia accusations could still undo such people, publicly even if maybe not at court, and all things and products they ever touched. Even nazi lovers have kids and (mostly) feel paternal/maternal instincts.

Who knows where we will be in 2-3 years though.

I mean, Trump palled around with Epstein, bragged about barging into teenage women's dressing room while they were naked and described "sex" as the thing him and his daughter have most in common.

I don't know that it would be a deal breaker to his cult

This stinks way too much of USSR/RF treating political enemies as mentally ill. El Doge is clearly an issue we Americans need to address but the entire point is to make sure America does not become yet another tyranny.

I’m not sure “taking drugs” is a neurodivergency.

But the reason he's taking them? (ok, depression may not be neurodivergency but you get my point. I'm only really commenting on the reliability of Musk's claims about himself).

Okay, that's fair.

He also claimed to be top 100 diablo 4 gamer.

Maybe he hired a professional to do Ketamin ?

Don Jr?

That’s a good point. It’d be one of the few truths he publicly states.
