Summary
“I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And he’s not funny. Like, at all,” a senior Trump administration official told Rolling Stone. “He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor. I keep using the word ‘annoying’; a lot of people who have to deal with him do.”
Musk’s insufferable behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs, the publication reports, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to be barely able to hide his immense dislike of the DOGE chief and State Department officials routinely call him “Crazy Uncle Elon” behind his back.
Other officials have suggested subjecting Musk to a mandatory drug test, which he has said is a “great idea” for federal employees, as a way to push him out of the door. The Tesla CEO has denied taking any illegal drugs, although numerous people claim to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms behind closed doors, the Wall Street Journal reports.
It’s amazing that he can do LSD, mushrooms, and ex and still have zero empathy.
Ifs hes combining it with ketamine, cocaine and alcohol, it makes sense
I wish we could dispel the myth that psychedelics make you peaceful and empathetic. In my experience and in my friend group they seem to make you be 100x what you already are. If you’re empathetic you become an empathy monster, if you’re analytical you start breaking things down, if you’re an annoying asshole you’re someone who should be kicked out of the room because that times 1000 is too much.
Those substances are empathy multipliers, unfortunately multiplying 0 always yields 0…
If his brain doesn’t possess the ability to empathize, there’s nothing for those substances to enhance.
It’s been fried by taking too many drugs once,.plus alcohol has been known to make your brain physically shrink
Yeah but 0^0 = 1, maybe we just need to inject him with heaps of meth first or something. It’s not like we could make the situation worse
I would question your maths, but the rest doesn’t sound all that bad.
wait holy fuck 0^0 does equal 1, wtf. how?
A definitional concession to make exponential series work. xn for n ∈ (0, 1) is the nth root of x, which gets ever closer to 1, while x^n for n < 0 equals 1÷ (xn). Between them lies the neutral element with respect to multiplication 1 (neutral meaning that x × 1 = x; a factor of one doesn’t actually change anything). Hence, x0 = 1.
That rule breaks down for x = 0, obviously. Negative exponents don’t work at all because they’re division by zero, while all exponents > 0 result in 0. Semantically, 00 probably should be undefined, but the neutral element rule does provide a definition. There also isn’t really any reasonable use case where you’d need that to be consistent with anything else.

Yeah, that was my first thought that he really hadn’t because unless he micro-microdosed or just said he did to be “cool”, which is on brand for him, there’s no way he did hallucinogins and still came out the other side like that.
From my understanding he’s a big proponent of the simulation theory, so he’s probably cool with being a shit person because it’s all a simulation anyways. I’d wager that he sees himself as a player in a video game and he’s going for high scores.
Who the fuck can take simulation theory seriously?
Someone who is high all the time
It would explain a lot. Most of the people in this world act like poorly scripted AI.
gestures generally around
But his idea of simulation theory and most of our ideas of simulation theory are not the same.
He thinks it means there are no consequences.
We all know it’s means the consequences might be simulated but they still suck.
Which is asinine. As currently, there is no way out of the simulation if that is even true, so you’re stuck with the simulation consequences no matter what. Which means you might as well treat them as real because they are to you. We should have cleaned up better after WW2 somehow.
We also should have cleaned up better after the Civil War. That was probably the bigger mistake.
Tbh we could probably take this back to the beginning of time. The real question is, how do we stop the slow slide into monsters from where we are at now? Also, its not slow.
Yeah. I think it would have involved nuclear annihilation at some point, and not because of USA vs Russia, but because the USA was pro nationalism-racism-authorotarianism-eugeniscm long before WW2.
Why do you think they happily looked the other way for so many scientists.
So just nihilism with more steps.
A particularly nasty version of absurdism, more like. If nothing matters in the grand scheme, might as well go and make the best of your life. Except most people can still acknowledge that empathy does matter for your life at least, while he doesn’t give a shit.
I think you just summed up MAGA
Someone on a lot of drugs?
It’s getting hard to take even reality seriously these days.
Someone please go spike his coffee with whatever dosage is needed to trigger ego death
I’m surprised Ketamine isn’t in this list, I thought it was his drug of choice this past year?
I really doubt Elon is who he is and uses acid or shrooms. That just sounds like reefer madness nonsense to me.
To be fair, this said behind closed doors. He does the ketamine out in the open, claiming it was prescribed to him.
Hey! Elon and i go to the same doctor!
He also smoked weed in public on the Joe Rogan show. He clearly likes drugs.
