Is it actually known if he regularly uses ketamine? I have seen lot of claims but never any source.

Definitely not enough to cause bladder issues.

        I don't follow world events too much. I know who Elon is, but I have no idea about his personality and stability. I consider myself pretty sensitive to sarcasm over the internet, but I completely missed that. I don't really mind not understanding that joke, since I don't really care about internet celebrities anyway, but that's an example how someone (hopefully) averagely smart can miss a joke like that.

        Is the man who's seemingly acting as the 2nd in command of the current president of the US really a "internet celebrity"? That feels off.

      It's funny either way, isn't it? Just in very different ways...

  I mean, it's possible he's lying about it for street cred? But he has claimed to take it: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/18/tech/elon-musk-ketamine-use-don-lemon-interview/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/18/tech/elon-musk-ketamine-use-d...

    That’s a good point. It’d be one of the few truths he publicly states.

    He's claimed a lot of things. Pick pretty much any neurodivergency, and it seems like you can find an interview where Musk claimed he hasn't been diagnosed, but he's totally got it. Except hypochondria, obviously. I don't think it's productive to try and armchair-diagnose him (although it is fun). Maybe, someday, a court-appointed psychologist will give us an official answer.

      I’m not sure “taking drugs” is a neurodivergency.
      - flir 2y ago
        But the reason he's taking them? (ok, depression may not be neurodivergency but you get my point. I'm only really commenting on the reliability of Musk's claims about himself).
        mcphage 2y ago
        Okay, that's fair.

      >Maybe, someday, a court-appointed psychologist will give us an official answer. At some level of wealth, in modern-day America, the idea of a court appointing a psychologist against someone's wishes and this actually being enforceable becomes fanciful. Even the idea of punishing such a person for any crime short of publicly documented ritual murder is dubious. I don't know if Elon reached that level of wealth, but I suspect he has.
