This is the first I've read about Musk having a drug problem. If true it would explain some of his bizarre behavior.
TECH
SpaceX executives worried Elon Musk was on drugs during 'cringeworthy' all-hands meeting, WSJ reports
Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert, Lloyd Lee, and Hannah Getahun Jan 6, 2024, 9:52 PM PST
The Wall Street Journal reported that executives at Elon Musk's companies worried about his drug use.
At SpaceX, the outlet reported, execs worried Musk was high during an "unhinged" staff meeting.
The report said Musk was an hour late and rambled for 15 minutes before SpaceX's president took over.

People like Elon Musk who are either conservative or support conservatives and see themselves as champions of "free speech" are some of the most hypocritical people when it comes to free speech.
When Aaron Rodgers or Kyrie Irving spread lies and conspiracy theories about COVID vaccines, they love it and amplify their messages while calling it free speech and a free exchange of ideas. But when LeBron James or Colin Kaepernick calls out cops who murder or otherwise hurt Black people, they want to cancel LeBron or Kaepernick, or they at least tell them to "shut up and dribble."

Elon Musk is reportedly moving SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter) from California to Texas.
The reason?
| Quote: | SpaceX CEO and X owner Elon Musk said Tuesday he will move the headquarters of both companies from California to Texas.
Musk vowed the moves in response to Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) signing a new law on Tuesday that bars school districts in California from requiring parents to be notified of a child’s gender identification change. |
I don't care if he moves his companies out of my state, and we can debate whether this law is a good one, but what a drama queen reason to do so. That law has absolutely nothing to do with his companies.

Some of his employees will like the lower taxes, but then they will have to live with other Texans and MAGA mania, extreme abortion restrictions, neighborhoods blowing up, and "leaders" like Ted Cruz. That is a (bleep) trade off for many of people coming from the freeking best state in the Union.
Sing along: California here I'll stay, Mr Musk just go away.
Then again, if Musk wants to turn Texas, blue, I'm not agin' it.

Apparently he plans to have his factory in a full blown "company town" where he controls everything, so that will be fun too.

What a loser.

Entrepreneur vs Ego. Will he sell Tesler stock to keep X? I don't think selling stock would be a good business move.

This is probably why he threatened to sue former advertisers on the site. |

Elon Musk has a weak case against advertisers — but he's playing the long game

| Quote: | Time to wake up! So much for Twitter being an "independent free speech platform."
Two sanctioned russian oligarchs helped Elon Musk to purchase Twitter.
Musk's connection to russia has been obvious for some time. Bu the latest reveal of direct russian investments in X is very troubling.
Here are some evidence of Musk's connections to russia: |

Perfect lowlife candidate for the GOP in 2028.
