Elon Musk’s father has slammed a shocking report that his son is taking drugs to deal with his stressful life and alleged mental health issues.
Retired South African politician Errol Musk, 77, called the report written by The New Yorkers about his tech billionaire son Elon “utter BS (bulls**t)” which is filled with “blatant inaccuracies.”
The Tesla CEO’s in-depth analysis claimed that Musk’s “erratic behavior” is related to his “attempts to self-medicate” as he deals with the “unrelenting stress” that simply makes his life “bad.”
Errol Musk also said that when his son went on Joe Rogan’s podcast and infamously smoked weed, he only used the drug because he didn’t want to appear “prude.”
When asked about the article, Errol explained The American sunIt’s a very concerning blow to Elon, full of blatant inaccuracies.

Under the same survey, 99.9 percent of those who see Elon in the light of this article would be roundly condemned as a danger to society.
The speculation that Elon has mental health issues and may be self-medicating with Ambien and ketamine strikes him more for fabricated reasons to score points for the “liberals.”
“What is being suggested is pure BS. From beginning to end.
“We are people who cannot tolerate alcohol, who are totally averse to smoking, and almost totally averse to drugs of any kind.”
The father not only called the report “head to toe bullshit,” but added, “The Joe Rogan thing has thrown Elon off balance.

“Not wanting to look squeamish on a show like that, he took the puff, which pundits said he wasn’t breathing, thank goodness, because Elon would have coughed the show to the end.”
Much of The New Yorker’s piece, titled Elon Musk’s Shadow Rule, was based on claims made by his friends and associates.
The report said: “Staff suggested that Musk’s use has escalated in recent years, and that the drug, in addition to his isolation and increasingly contentious relationship with the press, could contribute to his tendency to make chaotic and impulsive statements and decisions.” doing.’
Elon Musk himself wrote of the report and its author: “Tragic that Ronan Farrow is a puppet of the establishment against the people.”
In 2017, Musk hinted that he uses an Ambien sleep disorder treatment with alcohol: “A little red wine, vintage record, some Ambien…and magic!”
And near the end of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in 2018, the host lit a “cigar” rolled with both tobacco and marijuana — a drug legal in the state of California — and offered it to Musk.
“You probably can’t do this because of the shareholders, right?” Rogan asks Musk.
Musk, who previously joked that mushrooms — both a harmless fungus and a psychedelic drug — are “delicious,” clarified that the drug is legal and watched him take a puff on the joint before handing it back.
“I am not a regular smoker of weed. Hardly ever,” he told Rogan.
‘Actually, I don’t notice any effect. I know a lot of people like weed, which is fine, but I don’t think it’s very good for productivity.”
Earlier this year, Musk reportedly used ketamine to manage depression, according to his friends.
The Wall Street Journal said the Twitter CEO had been seen taking the drug, a known anesthetic.
Musk allegedly told people that he microdoses ketamine for depression and takes full doses at parties.
He also tweeted, “Depression is over-diagnosed in the US, but for some people it’s really a matter of brain chemistry.
“But the zombization of people with SSRIs certainly happens way too often. From what I’ve seen with friends, taking ketamine occasionally is a better option.’
Musk talked about selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the most commonly prescribed antidepressants.
They treat depression by increasing serotonin levels in the brain and are also sometimes used to treat anxiety disorders.
Microdosing — taking a small amount of a drug for purported mental health benefits — is rampant in Silicon Valley.
