While this is a good interview and interesting maybe for Hacker News. Why this sensationalist click bait title? He does one tiny hit of a weed/tabaco joint in the whole show.

  I don't find it click bait title, but then again I posted it so my pov may be biased. I thought it was interesting nit-pick to see Musk smoking. I was hoping maybe some other tech/entrepreneurs on the site will open up about their habits. Is smoking weed generally helps programming, managing project? I wouldn't know. Edit: you welcome to suggest and update.

  Haven't seen the video yet but by the gifs I saw on twitter it looks like he didn't even inhale.

  No different than the rest of the clickbait bullshit coming from corporate media. The fact that people are making a big deal about this is depressing.

    Maybe they're alluding to the $420/share going private tweet? Rumored to be weed inspired

      There's a theory that Musk is behaving oddly on purpose to manipulate the stock price. If it's cheaper because everyone thinks he's a loon, it makes it less expensive for him to buy up shares and take it private again.

People seem to focus on the joint, but I am more worried that he can't piece a few coherent sentences together.

  There's nothing going wrong with Elon or his companies that can't be fixed - but for the good of mankind we need to hunt him down, kidnap him, and make him get a good night's rest for about two weeks with zero contact on electronic devices or people. I felt similarly wired to what I see in the video once, I took a 10 day meditation retreat and whether or not it works doing nothing for over a week was exactly what I needed. The problem is that it is easy to justify not doing this - an endless series of excuses are available. Afterwards you'll feel the sharpest and most focused you've ever been and the effect lasts for weeks.

    Maybe what's for the good of mankind is to stop funneling public money to somebody so unstable and unable to deliver on his promises.

      This is a complete lie. Tesla payed back the loans to the government. SpaceX is excellently executing on the ISS Cargo contracts and are the furthest ahead in terms of human spaceflight as well. SpaceX has performed many flights for government and is universally agree on that they have saved the government an absolute shitton of money.
