Elon Musk issued a curt rebuke of ketamine abuse allegations after a viral clip of his erratic behavior at a dinner recirculated online.

The clip—taken in March during a visit to Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey—shows Musk balancing spoons at a dinner table while one of his baby mamas, Shivon Zilis, watches in silent concern.

At the time, X user and “retired army medic” Molly Ploofkins tweeted the clip with the caption, “Musk playing with his silverware while tripping on ketamine at Bedminster.”

    Maybe he’ll OD and this problem will finally go away. He’s maybe the worst person who has ever lived.

      Oh,I personally know a few even worse people - but I worked in a high security forensic mental health unit for a while. And let’s not start about some people living in the mid of the last century. Ishii, Beria, a whole lot of Nazis, there are plenty to choose from.

      Anyway: The bad news is: It is really really really hard to overdose on Ketamine. Unlike Fentanyl or Heroine, it does not stop the breathing of the patient unless administered in really high doses really fast

      As he is likely getting his stuff from a pharmacy and not a shady dealer the chances for that are rather slim.

        Yeah, especially with pharmacy grade stuff.

        I frequently use it prehospitaly for analgesia and anaesthesia and Ketamine unlike other drugs as real bad effects being underdosed - so I tend to use rather large doses And yet i. 25 years I have to manage to “overdose” someone that bad that they actually stop breathing without a second or third drug (Midazolam and Rocuronium for that matter).
