Last month, during #ElonMusk’s appearance at CPAC, as he hoisted a #chainsaw in the air, stumbled over some of his words, & questioned whether there was really gold stored in Fort Knox, people on his social-media platform…started posting about #ketamine.

#Musk has said he uses ketamine regularly, so for the past couple of years, public speculation has persisted about how much he takes, whether he’s currently high, or how it might affect his behavior.

What Ketamine Does to the Human Brain

Excessive use of the drug can make anyone feel like they rule the world.

Last year, #Musk told CNN’s Don Lemon that he has a #ketamine prescription & uses the drug roughly every other week to help w/ #depression symptoms. When asked if Musk ever abused ketamine, Musk replied, “I don’t think so. If you use too much ketamine you can’t really get work done,” then said that investors in his companies should want him to keep up his drug regimen. Not everyone is convinced.

The WSJ has reported that #Musk also takes the drug recreationally, & in 2023, Ronan Farrow reported in The New Yorker that Musk’s “associates” worried that #ketamine, “alongside his isolation & his increasingly embattled relationship with the press, might contribute to his tendency to make chaotic & impulsive statements & decisions.”

Excessive use of the drug can make anyone feel like they rule the world.

#Ketamine is…a dissociative drug…during a high, which lasts ~1hr, people might feel detached from their body, their emotions, or the passage of time. Frequent, heavy recreational use—say, several times a week—has been linked to cognitive effects that last beyond the high, including impaired memory, delusional thinking, superstitious beliefs, & a sense of specialness & importance.
[it is also used in small doses under controlled conditions as a treatment for chronic MDD]

You can see why people might wonder about #ketamine use from a man who is trying to usher in multi-planetary human life, who has barged into #GlobalPolitics & is attempting to reengineer the US govt. With #Musk’s new political #power, his cognitive & psychological health is of concern not only to shareholders of his companies’ stocks but to all Americans. His late-night posts, mass emails to #FederalWorkers, & non sequiturs uttered on TV have prompted even more questions about his drug [ab]use.

…#Musk hasn’t publicly acknowledged the risks of #ketamine, despite having once claimed that SSRIs, the drugs commonly used to treat depression, “zombify” patients. Other highly visible ketamine promoters tend to do the same. Dylan Beynon, the founder of the ketamine telemedicine company Mindbloom, recently wrote on X, “Ketamine is not physically addictive. SSRIs are very difficult to wean off of for many.” (Beynon’s wife, the fmr head of engineering at Mindbloom, now works at #DOGE.)

@Nonilex I believe that Trump and Musk would like Americans to be in a constant dissociative state. Ketamine is a bad idea unless absolutely necessary.
