In 2018, for example, he took multiple tabs of acid at a party he hosted in Los Angeles. The next year he partied on magic mushrooms at an event in Mexico. In 2021, he took ketamine recreationally with his brother, Kimbal Musk, in Miami at a house party during Art Basel. He has taken illegal drugs with current SpaceX and former Tesla board member Steve Jurvetson.
People close to Musk, who is now 52, said his drug use is ongoing, especially his consumption of ketamine, and that they are concerned it could cause a health crisis. Even if it doesn’t, it could damage his businesses.
Those years were around the time he was very pro-LGBT and human rights. Seems like he stopped taking the “we’re all connected” drugs and started taking the “I’m amazing and better than everyone” drugs.
There are definitely folks who come out of psychedelic experiences with strong delusions of grandeur, they usually just don’t have the money or influence to become this big a nuisance over it.
“I am [God]” v. “I am of god/a node in Indra’s Net” or whatever privileged I v. communal I conception that can pop up.

I don’t know about psychedelics like LSD. You’d think that shit would kill his ego, but it hasn’t.

Intention and pre-loading is important, folks!
The word is hoping. Concerned means you fear that it might happen. Stupid people close to Musk, don’t even know English.
So when will the courts treat him as they would a black man with the same substance abuse problems
It sounds like you know the answer to that one.
