Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.

The original Nazis were also big-time drug users.

    Alleged use of ILLEGAL drugs. Say it, NYT, say it. You’re gonna tell me he’s got a prescription for psychedelic mushrooms and ecstasy? And he’ll prove it in court? Well then SAY IT.

    I’ve seen you claim to be a progressive before. It sure seems like you don’t care about any ideal except being a partisan hack for team donkey. How do you reconcile your statements from before and now?

        There’s nothing inherently wrong with drug use, it should not be illegal. The person I’m replying to has expressed such opinions in the past, but is now suddenly clutching their pearls, so I’m calling them out because they also have a history of being a partisan hack with no moral consistency.

          The person you’re replying to is me. I’m probably a partisan hack, but i’m totally consistent. And the part about specifying illegal drugs is specific to the fascist Elmo. Call HIM out for illegal drug use. Prevent him from getting billions in taxpayer money. Send him to jail, whatever. Not Randy down at the Pak ‘n Sav.

          And anyway really, it’s about the NYT coverage, not the actual alleged crime and/or subsequent court proceedings. I want them to emphasize the illegal part to get organizations - governmental and otherwise - to understand what a horrible decision it is to put him in charge of vast areas of anything.
