At the same time, he has a lot of responsibility in his various companies, including SpaceX, Tesla and X.
In a drug dinner there are supposedly more 20 different pills, which the 53-year-old always carries around with him.

Elon Musk and the drugs: he takes ketamine against a bad mood
As early as 2024, the Tesla founder explained in an interview with Don Lemon that Ketamine helps him against a bad mood. However, Elon Musk emphasized that he did not consume the fabric as a intoxicant, but as a prescription drug. “If you have taken too much, you can no longer do your work properly, and I have a lot to do,” he said.
The use of ketamine as a remedy for depression and similar diseases has been researched more intensively for several years. This is intended to help patients in particular.
