sources suggest it could have affected his work at DOGE
What? He aced his work at DOGE.
He stripmined all the data and halted the regulatory investigations into his companies.

Too bad that’s all it did.
Tesla should engineer a pisser into their vehicles.
That's what the driver-side door is for.
I don't like this theory, cause it implies that everything he has done is because of the drugs, and not because he's a megalomaniac narcissistic greedy moron.
My theory is that his PR people are "leaking" these stories that he can rebuild his image as a recovering addict. This will let them craft a sympathetic story and they will hope that we'll forget that he's a racist asshole.
The would mean he'd have to stop using drugs. I don't see that happening.
Bingo, he’s the fall man for the White House right now. If you view American politics under the lens of professional wrestling it makes a lot of sense. Musk is doing a heel turn so he attracts more flak on his way out.

Yeah, no amount of drugs could make me do that.
Either a hero when it works, or a victim when it doesn’t, never any personal accountability.
Typical Narcissist/Sociopath (i.e., giant cunt).
I think this is partway to the truth.
This is also PR for Trump, who should still hold the majority of the blame for the disastrous DOGE firing spree and violations of private data on citizens. You know, for letting this billionaire Nazi prick buy his way into the White House in the first place.
Instead, they’ll say Trump thought Muskrat had a good head on his shoulders and didn’t realize Elon was so drugged out and causing problems. Poor Trump just had no idea.
I've learned to not give them that much credit. My theory is muskrat is just an addict.

Exactly, it lowers inhibitions, it doesn't carve a completely different asshole.
Yeah, no one becomes an asshole after shrooms.
But people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (and related Cluster B disorders) have been known to come out of the psychedelic experience with an even bigger egomaniacal God complex than they had going into the experience, counterintuitively.
I came out with “nothing matters” but to me that was good cause I was full of anxiety. I suppose if you’re rich as fuck, you don’t have real-world anxiety, and you come out with the same as me, that could be pretty dangerous.

Right. He's a Nazi first and foremost, with or without the drugs.
He’s a drug addict, it’s not a theory he’s on hella drugs, he IS on hella drugs
Yep, the drugs aren't a cause, they are an effect of being a greedy, narcissistic, megalomaniac, moron.

I don't think there's an amount of ketamine that would have me doing this, though, even by accident...
Idk. I told the doctors and nurses to tell all the girls I had big crushes on (individually, by name) that I loved them even though I was dying and I would protect them like an angel.
I wasn't actually dying, I was having a minor procedure and a hypersensitive reaction to the drug.
That is not even close to the same thing as giving two consecutive Nazi salutes in front of millions of people.
No. No it's not. In fact, I would say Ketamine doesn't cause people to become Nazis.
I would say that Ketamine lets your inner self get exposure.
En Ketamine Veritas
I had a colonoscopy years ago when I was engaged to my now-wife, and when I woke up from the anaesthesia I just babbled about how much I loved her. At no point did I come remotely close to doing a Nazi salute.
this is being leaked to press because the people in the white house who had to deal with Elon HATE him and NEVER want him back, and desperately want him to be the fall guy for all the terrible things Trump's admin did and is doing. part of me wishes he was kicked out, but another part enjoys the suffering he causes for the terrible people orbiting the white house
I think they're just setting up a defense for all the illegal activity, so when they investigate, they've got a get out of jail free, card. Not that he would go to jail with the amount of money he has.
now they both get to wear diapers!
Poo Pants and Pee Pants.
And that's what America calls strong and brilliant. Sad.

Fuck him and the orange turd he rode in on him.
Dude must smell like the inside of a vet’s office.
Patients with ketamine abuse can present with urinary frequency, nocturia, urgency, incontinence, cystitis, bladder or loin pain and haematuria, which are debilitating symptoms causing a profoundly negative impact on quality of life [2]. Pain can promote the further use of ketamine or other recreational drugs to help suppress distressing symptoms, so compounding the condition. Onset of urinary symptoms is typically delayed from the time ketamine is first used, and the severity of symptoms appears to be related to the quantity and duration of drug intake [3].

Well, I guess there goes the old theory of giving people in control psychedelics and MDMA and having it turn them around and become more empathetic.
Also, I've heard the bladder issues excessive ketamine causes is incredibly painful and I would normally have some sympathy for someone with the condition, but I really find it lacking when it's concerning someone who has caused so much chaos and harm.
Edit: spelling
Based on what I know Ketamine does to a person's behaviors, taking enough to enjoy it yet not enough to see mouse people leads me to believe he's actually much worse of a person behind closed doors and sober.
Okay, forget his bladder. Let's talk about the effects on what pretends to be his brain.
First Xanax, now ketamine. Is there a drug out there that doesn't make people go on racist ourbursts?
