Elon Musk posted "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" on 19 Oct and 19 Nov.
Today is 19 Dec, and in 12 hours he'll post again that the people have spoken. He's playing some sort of game.

- rvz 4y agoNow you're paying attention.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoMaybe he's got a stimulant (or other psychoactive) prescription that renews around this time of the month and we're witnessing a periodic, chemically induced mania?
- eru 4y agoI don't think Musk has to worry about renewing his prescription.. Or are you suggesting he gets an injection or so once a month?
- sytelus 4y agoThis is actually a very good guess. A vast majority of these ultra-rich population are now on simulants and psychoactive drugs.
- bitwize 4y agoAnd that's a bad thing now that Elon is doing it, whereas previously on Hackernews nootropics together with fasting and gut bacteria husbandry were the key to a long fulfilling life.
- djur 4y agoDrinking moderate amounts of alcohol can be a great way to relax and socialize. Drinking all the time to get through the day can cause serious harm. There's no conflict between these positions.
- thewarrior 4y agoWhat kind of stimulants do they use. Is it the same kind of drugs that regular people use ?
- xenotize 4y agoYes, it would be the same. Likely amphetamines, or methylphenidate
- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoI know several people that use Modafanil thanks to a friendly doctor, not due to medical need. I get the impression this is pretty common with a particular swath of tech and finance workers.
- 2-718-281-828 4y agoi would absolutely not be surprised if this is true. but do you have any sources for this statement?
- isoprophlex 4y agoDon't forget blood transfusions from 18 year olds, if you really want to go torture yourself with thoughts of "is this a conspiracy theory or just really fucked up reality" https://www.science.org/content/article/young-blood-antiaging-trial-raises-questions https://www.science.org/content/article/young-blood-antiagin...
- ryanmerket 4y agoHe did admit to being on a new weight loss drug https://www.thequint.com/fit/elon-musk-uses-this-diabetes-drug-for-weight-loss-how-safe-is-it-wegovy https://www.thequint.com/fit/elon-musk-uses-this-diabetes-dr...
- djur 4y agoGLP-1 agonists aren't stimulants and don't tend to cause this kind of side effect. Although I guess stomach cramps could cause bad posting.
- bb88 4y agoConstipation, nausea, and irritability are the symptoms I've had. I would just think he's maybe tired and burnt out. This is classic burn-out syndrome here.
- penjelly 4y agohas ambien script, has admitted to it influencing his behaviour on twitter in the past https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/794578375415238656 https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/79457837541523865...
- Kronopath 4y agoI have no idea why people take Ambien when low-dose (<0.5mg) melatonin exists over-the-counter in abundance in the US.
- danaris 4y agoPeople in my family have tried taking melatonin for sleep. It gave them hallucinations. Not everybody reacts the same way to different chemicals, even the ones our bodies produce naturally.
- steve_adams_86 4y agoYeah. I had an awful time with it. I can’t describe my dream because it doesn’t belong here at all, and while it wasn’t a nightmare so to speak, it was extremely unsettling. It has a sort of vividness and trueness to real life that, given the subject of the dream, was totally unwelcome in my mind and eerily blended the dream world and real life. I’d never experienced anything like it. Somehow the dream also felt long. Not long for a dream, but like an actual day passed. It was a seriously unsettling experience.
- genocidicbunny 4y agoOne of the reasons that might have happened is that a lot of OTC melatonin is actually way too high of a dose. You need like a .5mg dose, but most of it that I have seen in stores is in the 3-5mg range, which is quite a bit more than what you need.
- haswell 4y agoLow dose melatonin is not a miracle cure. It can help reset when you fall asleep, but cannot help you stay asleep. I'll still never touch ambien again, but there are many reasons that melatonin may not be enough.

- wilg 4y agoOh good, a conspiracy theory.
- jacquesm 4y agoMaybe he'll sell another batch of stock tomorrow?
