Elon Musk, SpaceX and Tesla chief faced scrutiny from NASA after smoking marijuana on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast in 2018. Musk’s attorney, Alex Spiro, dismissed a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, saying Musk never failed a test. The report indicates informal concerns among Tesla board members about Musk’s drug use, leading to discussions with his brother Kimbal Musk. Musk is purported to have engaged in recreational ketamine use with Kimbal and consumed unspecified illegal drugs with SpaceX board member Steve Jurvetson. The Journal also highlighted former Tesla director Linda Johnson Rice’s departure in 2019, reportedly influenced by Musk’s drug consumption and “erratic behaviour.”
