monthly expenses of 200k? Wow, that is quite a lavish lifestyle. Just wondering what costs so much... that is more than 6k per day.

cocaine is expensive although since he is going through a divorce(I think), it's probably lawyer fees

  > cocaine is expensive Is this a joke? Because that's not an accusation to make lightly, IMHO.

    I think it's a silly/unnecessary joke also. But overreacting to it is even worse. What if this guy's career or at least his public perception gets derailed by a dirt-seeking public in some stupid scandal. What a tragic, horrible loss that would be to the rest of us. This man needs to be given a clear road ahead to keep innovating. We need more of people like him, people who not only have lofty, humane goals but have the will to make them a reality. If this guy wants to swim in pools of LSD on the weekends who cares? It's no one's business but his own. What about Feynman and pot? My Mom has never smoked pot, she didn't come up with quantum electrodynamics either.

      Who's overreacting? I think my reaction was very proportional. Humor doesn't always translate well to text, so I simply wanted a clarification. It's bad manner to accuse someone of being a coke-head in public without any clear indication that it's a joke, whoever that person is (you, me, Elon Musk). We can think all we want that nobody should care, but we have to live with the world as it is (until we can change it, anyway), and there are many evo. psych. reasons why people care about that kind of stuff.

        Well I did understand that he was making a joke, but I'd rather we kept jokes like that away from HackerNews as long as we possibly can, until we turn into yet another Reddit or Digg.

        That's exactly what I'm saying but I'm getting down-voted. Not sure what is happening here.

Hard to believe he consumes twice in a month what my wife and I do in a year.

  Hard to believe that you and your wife consume in a year what I would consume in 7 years if I stuck to my current standard of living :)

    Hard to believe that you consume ~14 times what an average Kenyan consumes in a year.

This is clearly a man who doesn't do anything at ordinary scale. He eats bigger than we do, travels bigger than we do, and starts companies bigger than we do.
