The Journal reported executives at SpaceX worried Elon Musk was on drugs after an “unhinged” all-hands meeting in which he slurred and rambled.

    Doesn’t he slur and ramble most of the time? I have never heard him make a sentence without stuttering.

        If you watch the recent hour long interview where he told advertisers to fuck off, something seemed off about how he was talking then as well. I’ve watched my fair share of interviews and what not with him and even I thought something was up there.

        Not saying it’s drugs, but something is going on with him

        Edit: late edit after watching the all hands in question. This didn’t seem unusual for Elon and I didn’t get the same weird vibes I got during the interview I mentioned above. They did cut off the Q&A though so maybe something happened in that. Also the whole thing seemed unneeded. More of a public facing thing for people/media and not an all hands.

          It think that he is slowly realizing the change in public perception of him and as a narcissist it’s getting to him. This could also explain the drug use too.

            Yeah, I’ve heard a psychologist say he’s showing clear signs of social media addiction (which is a pretty interesting/funny case when you’re also rich enough to buy the entire media company).

            I wouldn’t be surprised if he has other addiction going on at the same time. I mean who can tell this guy he has a problem? Who can say no to this guy, nobody has any authority over him…

                But cops aren’t obligated to tell someone they have a problem. Apparently they aren’t obligated to do anything… (but that’s another rant). So there’s really nobody who can tell him to get his life together until a cop has reason to tell him he has the right to remain silent.
