      Depends on the dosage. More than a little but less than too much and your body becomes that of a drunk toddler. But yea most people using ket are chiller than him lol

        It doesn’t turn you into a psychopath. This dude is just a piece of shit who happens to like ketamine (and has the resources for basically infinite supply)

      This is not how ketamine makes people behave.

      A shot of tequila won’t make me shit on your doorstep, but 5-6 bottles in an hour who knows what’s gonna happen.

      There’s a difference between use and abuse.

      Musk has not been using it medically, even if he paid a doc to write a prescription.

    Give all of them legal access to any drugs they want in copious quantities. Encourage them to take more. Let problems solve themselves.

      To be fair we all love our drugs. Unless you like to be sober, that’s cool too.

      Edit: Musk is a piece of shit either way, no excuses there.

        Yeah but there’s a difference between smoking a bowl in the comfort and safety of your home versus taking mind altering substances while making major economic and policy decisions for a country…

          I’d like to see more decision makers be under the influence to be honest. Musk is just getting hate because he’s “on the wrong side” against the hippies who at one point loved the guy a few years back. Societal consensus is fickle muse and sheep jump on the latest fad of hating someone prominent.

        I’m pretty sure the problem is they’re so quick to throw someone in prison for doing the same thing and regulate what poor people are allowed to take whilst taking it themselves.

      Well. I would argue that drug use is all about hammering reality into a tolerable/enjoyable shape. Fascists by definition also transform through force. The key distinction seems to be a drug user themselves become transformed through chemical force, where as the fascist forces others to change using violence/threat of violence. In both cases though, there exists a certain egomaniacal reluctance to meet the terms of reality, and instead attempt to change the terms through force. There is a very consistent common bond between the hyper wealthy, the tyrannical, and the drug dependant, to be very stubborn and narcissistic. In all three, the ego is driving the bus, and there is some corruption with self esteem. In all three there is a fundamental inability to accurately assign value. A lot of money/power/release is never enough. The only acceptable amount is “more”. And the compulsion to find more: wealth, or power, or opportunity to use substances, becomes the whole point of waking life. Until it’s just you and the compulsion in the world alone, and every thing and every one else is just a puzzle you solve to get more like a rat in an experiment. Long story short, people at odds with reality tend to use similar and often overlapping tactics to get by. What do the tyrant, the drug addict, and the billionaire all have in common? A singular focus to fill an unfillable hole.

      Everyone loves drugs regardless of political leanings. Everyone is just hypocritical when it comes to the one they like, even you I bet :)

      So much upvotes/activity from people on these kind of empty headlines, and it just weakens the cause against fascism in my eyes.

        This changes nothing, and really shouldn’t surprise anyone bc most people just assumed he was, based on his constantly bizarre behavior, from doing a fucking Nazi salute on stage to the micro moments like when he looked like he was glitching/buffering during Trump’s inauguration.

        Given that the administration pretty successfully managed to gaslight the entire nation after two nazi salutes, that we all saw, I doubt we would even be seeing so many negative headlines about Musk right now if the narrative wasn’t intentionally being shifted that way by people in the white house. He went from the untouchable dark force who was running the country, to the guy in the cheese hat that annoyed everyone and who gave himself bladder issues by doing too much ketamine.

        Thiel got him to serve as the face of dismantling the federal government, and then pushed him aside once Kratsios was confirmed by the senate. Stealing government data to dump into AI was something they have had planned since Trump’s first administration. They just needed a public scapegoat, and Musk was more than willing to take the bait.

        That said, have people seriously forgotten that in every headline any accusation is always “alleged” even if it’s something like rape or murder?

          They’ve been slipping on that with Mangionw trial coverage at a definitely-more-than-coincidental rate. Stop giving massive institutions with crystal-clear motives the benefit of the doubt.

    Every last one of them is an addict of some sort. His Secretary of Health is a heroin addict.

      DJT, himself was a adderall/cocaine user, to the point he became incontinent.
