Elon Musk issued a curt rebuke of ketamine abuse allegations after a viral clip of his erratic behavior at a dinner recirculated online.

The clip—taken in March during a visit to Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey—shows Musk balancing spoons at a dinner table while one of his baby mamas, Shivon Zilis, watches in silent concern.

At the time, X user and “retired army medic” Molly Ploofkins tweeted the clip with the caption, “Musk playing with his silverware while tripping on ketamine at Bedminster.”

    “watches in silent concern”? She looks as high as him, to me. Rocking back and forth…

    Everyone likes to laugh at Turnip and Muskrat for being, talking and acting like idiots … which they are … but enough of a country voted to have this clown in office, who then selected this unelected monkey to run their country.

    Who’s the idiot in this scenario? The idiot doing idiot things … or the people who made it all possible and allowed the idiots to gain power?

    It’s going to take a lifetime for me to look at an American as anything ressembling intelligence.

        That’s the thing and something I’ve noticed for many years and in meeting many Americans.

        The majority of Americans I’ve met in person were good wholesome people and most of the time I couldn’t tell the difference if they were American or Canadian (unless they had a strong accent from the American south).

        It’s when you start talking about politics or religion that things seem to fall apart. There’s a strong Christian ‘identity’, it’s certainly not religious … cult like but not religious.

        But in the mix are good natured people with good natured ideas of politics and inclusion … but the loudest most obnoxious ones always seem to win out.

        I’ve done my best to not paint all Americans as selfish, ignorant, self absorbed, hateful individuals … but in light of everything that is coming out of the US government, which should represent the ideas and attitudes of a country … it is getting harder and harder to like America or Americans.

          I don’t blame you. I grew up here thinking that most people were generally good/decent people. I was propagandized to hell and back and grew up believing that America was as good as it got in the world. Other places (like Canada) weren’t bad, but just but as great as America.

          It wasn’t until I left my cult-like religion (Mormonism) at age 18 that I truly started learning more accurate history and exploring other cultures that I realized how deep in the hole I was as a human. I spent 20 years thinking that America was imperfect but had the potential to be better, and to come to terms with it’s thorny past. Obama being elected seemed to prove that potential.

          Trump (then Trump 2.0) had destroyed that last illusion and I’m not sure what it would take to rebuild any sense of pride in my country. My entire extended family (as far as I’m aware of) are all in support of what is happening here, and it is stressing any vestige of relationship I had left after leaving their religion all those years ago.

          Trust takes years to build, and a moment to lose. America has lost any trust in this moment. It’ll take a lifetime to rebuild at best. My son is in for a harder life because of it and I can’t help feeling guilty

      Also worth pointing out that the idiots Trump and Musk are succeeding in their every goal. People loved to laugh at Mush for turning Twitter into shit as if that wasn’t what he was going for in the first place.

    Nothing beats Elon Musk doing Sieg Heils, but the reminders of his other idiocies - to say nothing about the harm of being a drug addict - are really bad too.

      That confirmed what I thought, its actually wayy worse. Its permanent urinary retention. Had transient version of it a few times doing DXM and its terrifying and horribly uncomfortable if not downright painful.

      The only thing at the time that can help you is taking a bath or immersing your junk in hot water so it relaxes everything and makes you reflexively pee but thats a pain in the ass if you gotta do it every time you need to piss. He’s in for a horrible reality check if he isnt already currently at that point.

      Jesus, he has such shit taste in drugs and using then

    I have a new theory: Elon Musk is a habitual masturbator. He’s addicted to the fap, and is ashamed of it. His ketamine-flooded brain, in an attempt to square it with his inflated ego, came up with the nonsense theory that he has a duty to reproduce as much as possible by donating his sperm to gold digging women instead of his own protruding belly button. That’s probably why he tried to keep it a secret, because it’s something he’s ashamed of.

      The White House just publicly admitted he was on Ketamine, Ecstasy, and multiple psychedelics the entire time he has been a federal employee.

      Yeah he’s probably a gooner too but we should never let them live down their drug addict nepo baby cabinet pick, or any of their other ones.

    Or typical Asperger’s behavior. The amount of times I started talking about the thrust-to-weight ratio of jet engines vs rocket engines on a date … You’d think one of the world’s richest men, and technophile, would find some other substance to trip with?

        Price-wise he could get anything he wants. If ketamine has all these side effects, why pick this?

          Most (all?) of the good drugs have side effects. Ketamine actually doesn’t have that many side effects unless you’re overusing and/or using it for a long time.

          Like others have said every drug has side effects. Nature of the best. Ketamine is extremely safe though and almost impossible to OD on.

      Do you ever sit around and try to visualize energy as 4th dimensional geometry?

      This is why I don’t need drugs.
