Billionaire CEO Elon Musk, who leads Tesla, SpaceX and the social media platform X, said his use of prescription ketamine is beneficial for investors in an interview posted online.
Following allegations of illegal drug use, Tesla CEO Elon Musk defended his ketamine prescription as beneficial for investors in an interview with former CNN host Don Lemon. In the video, which was posted Monday on X, Musk said the drug helps him manage a "negative chemical state" similar to depression. He argued that investors should not worry about his drug use so long as his companies continue to perform.
One former Tesla investor, Linda Johnson Rice, reportedly became so frustrated with Musk's volatile behavior and drug use that she did not stand for re-election to Tesla's board in 2019, the Journal reported, citing sources familiar. Musk responded to the Journal report on X in January, saying that he agreed to three years of random drug testing at the request of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which partners with SpaceX.
If you use too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work," he said. Ketamine, a hallucinogenic anesthetic drug, was first approved in 1970 as an anesthetic for use by medical doctors and veterinarians. The drug has been used to treat people suffering from depression who have not responded to other treatments. The drug can be administered in multiple ways, but the primary methods are by nasal spray or IV infusions . Fox News Digital's Melissa Rudy and Reuters contributed to this report.
