Tesla CEO Elon Musk Responds to “Drug Abuse” Accusations
In a recent statement, Tesla CEO Elon Musk addressed allegations of drug abuse, stating that he is taking ketamine as prescribed by his doctor to relieve his depression. Musk emphasized that his use of the medication is in the best interest of investors in Tesla and other companies he runs.
This is not the first time Musk has been questioned about drug use. In January, he denied ever testing positive for drugs and jokingly posted on social media, “Whatever I do, I should obviously keep doing it!”
But what exactly is ketamine? Ketamine, scientifically known as 2-o-chlorophenyl-2-methylaminocyclohexanone, is a derivative of phencyclidine (PCP). Commonly referred to as “K powder” due to its white powder form, ketamine is primarily used as an anesthetic in clinical settings and is classified as a psychotropic drug for control.
It is important to note that the higher the dosage of ketamine consumed, the more severe the side effects can be. Symptoms of acute poisoning include behavioral changes such as excitement, talkativeness, and impaired understanding and judgment, which can lead to impulsive behaviors.
Abuse of ketamine can also result in disturbances of consciousness, manifesting as reduced clarity, disorientation, behavioral disorders, delusions, hallucinations, and in severe cases, coma.
As the news of Musk’s ketamine use spreads, it raises questions about the potential impact on his role as the head of Tesla and other companies. The CEO’s statement has sparked debates among investors and the public regarding the implications of his medication use.
