After being exposed by the well-known American media "Wall Street Journal" as a "frequent drug user", American billionaire Musk himself seems to have responded again. On the afternoon of the 8th, Beijing time, Musk posted on social media
"Elon Musk has illegally been involved in drugs, which worries the leaders of Tesla and SpaceX." The Wall Street Journal broke the news on the 6th that according to people who witnessed Musk's drug use and other insiders, Musk often smoked cocaine, ecstasy and other drugs at private parties around the world, and participants had to sign confidentiality agreements or hand over their mobile phones to enter. The report also stated that people close to Musk revealed that Musk has been taking drugs for a long time, especially ketamine (K powder), and they are worried that this will trigger Musk's health crisis. Even if no serious health effects occur, it would be damaging to his business, and illegal drug use would likely violate U.S. federal regulations, which could jeopardize SpaceX's multibillion-dollar contract with the U.S. government.
This shocking news triggered many discussions among netizens. An X platform account called "Full Mars Catalog" that Musk follows also said on the 7th that Musk got into trouble for smoking marijuana on American podcast host Joe Rogan's show in 2018, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) also intervened. "This sounded the alarm to some people about the impact of Musk's behavior on business, and caused SpaceX employees to undergo random drug testing." In response to this, Musk responded to the account's post on the same day and opened fire on the Wall Street Journal. "After taking a sip with Logan, I agreed to do random drug testing for three years as required by NASA. Not even a trace amount of drugs or alcohol was found." Musk said, "The Wall Street Journal is not suitable for placing bird poop in a parrot cage."
