Board Members of Elon Musk Feel Pressured to Use Drugs with Him to Avoid Upsetting Him, According to WSJ

Elon Musk has been cited as cultivating a culture of peer pressure among his friends and business associates to encourage drug use. The Wall Street Journal reported that the use of drugs by board members and directors of his companies has become the norm. In recent years, Musk has been witnessed taking drugs such as ketamine and liquid ecstasy, leading to concerns about the impact on those around him, some of whom have significant financial ties to his companies. The close association with Musk has created an environment in which refusal to partake in drug use is seen as risking financial stability and social standing. These concerns may have implications for the security clearance of SpaceX as a defense contractor, along with billions of dollars in government contracts. Recent reports have also described how Musk’s drug use has raised concerns among former board members and executives at Tesla and SpaceX, making his personal conduct a topic of speculation within the business world.
