Yeah, the LD50 is misleading for potassium in this context. Most people can tolerate higher doses completely fine, but people with kidney and cardiac issues can die from doses on the order of ~10g (typically due to arrhythmias/fibrillation).
Put another way, the theoretical ratio of LD50 to LD1 is way larger for potassium compared to most other common meds.
