SAN FRANCISCO – Mr Elon Musk’s drug use has worried executives and board members at businesses he runs, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unidentified people familiar with the billionaire and the companies. People close to the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive officer told the newspaper his drug use is ongoing, and that in particular he is consuming ketamine. Mr Musk said in August he has a prescription to use the drug as an antidepressant. Mr Musk, 52, did not respond to the Journal’s requests for comment. Mr Musk oversees six companies: Tesla, SpaceX and X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter; the tunnelling venture The Boring; brain implant developer Neuralink; and artificial intelligence start-up xAI.
