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.”

Tbh, his Ketamine use makes me very very happy. He should do it more often.

Why? Ketamine abuse leads to severe damage of the urinary tract system. According to various sources this is already happening - and the damage is irreversible. Patients suffering from them are unable to pee - while having a massive urge to do so (imagine a decade long UTI, with your bladder really filled to the brim but you can't pee physically). And in the end it fucks their kidneys up due to the urine backing up into it. (And no, he can't get a transplant then. As the ureter is the problem and damaged beyond repair there isn't that much that can't be done then)

Furthermore the combination of drugs he admits he takes is a prime setup for a ketamine induced persistent psychosis. Elmo is already showing massive signs of intermittent or persistent psychosis, but things can get worse - far worse for him. Because the combination he takes can sometimes lead to a chronic persistent psychosis with auditory or visual hallucinations, delirium and ongoing psychosis symptoms. In other words: He would get so batshit crazy that a normal person would either be admitted in time and for a long time or kill themselves. In his case it's more likely that his staff would make sure he doesn't kill himself and lock him away. (Kill as in "running over a highway butt naked because the Zombie cows hunt them" or "trying to stop a train by a naruto move")

When I still worked in a psychiatric hospital we gad a similar guy - actually not unintelligent,but fried his brain with a similar mixture. In the end result he needed massive loads of drugs so he wouldn't be in a constant state of panic (mostly because every shadow was a giant spider trying to kill him) but basically made him a zombie. And,as he did a few awful things in this state of terror(setting fire to the psychiatric hospital twice, push a old lady in front of a bus -she was not hurt as the bus was imaginary,too-, stabbing a kindergarten teacher in front of her class) he was with us for years in a locked/high security ward. Aftee that he left us towards a similar ward in a permanent nursing facility.

There is a good chance he won't have a nice retirement life. Which is well deserved.

You're very optimistic.

Scale this up for the richest man on earth and I dread what can happen.

Yeah my main worry is that people are so unbelievably obsequious towards billionaires and reich-wing "leaders" that even an obviously psychotic one might not get them to pause and think about what the hell they're doing

You mean like the current one?

You're watching it.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago

Yeah,can happen. Or he does something so self harming (like trying to open the door of his jet midflight) that they "hide him". Most of these cases tend to be so uncoordinated,that even being superrich won't help much.

We will see. I hope you are not right - but your concern is absolutely valid.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Yeah I could see the jet door opening while he’s screaming ‘ITS ALL JUST A SIMULATION’

and maybe it is but at least the rest of us can live more in peace within the simulation after that.

[-] [email protected] 96 points 3 days ago

Top quality post. Thank you for this shot of optimistic perspective.

Should crosspost to upliftingnews.

That is not what that sub is for. This is squarely face eating leopards territory and I'm here for it.

I suspect it's been going on for years and is why he had them illegally install a bathroom next to where he slept, so he wouldn't keep waking security going to pee so frequently

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

What was the illegal part about the bathroom? i did miss that

The suit says Killian told Davis that he would start getting the permits for Musk's restroom, but the suit paraphrases him responding: "We don't do that; we don't have to follow those rules."

According to the suit, he instead suggested Killian hire an unlicensed plumber to build the toilet since others wouldn't want to jeopardize their license by working on a project without a permit.

An illegal bathroom for an illegal immigrant.

A bit of added hope: Ketamine directly caused hypertension. Not for long,but for a good amount. I literally shot a patient from 130/80 to 220/120 once.

That is not very good for the vessels in his heart and brain.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Sounds like hypertension, not hypotension.

As a substance user, I'm glad. You get what you put in. Good in? Good out. Bad in? Bad out.

Substances are the ultimate representation of karma--and the muskrat craves, and craves, and craves. Let his soul be ravaged relentlessly by hundreds of thousands of talons.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

So what I'm hearing is someone needs to up his dosage so the problem solves itself quicker.

I've always said he's the modern day Howard Hughes, and he's meeting a similar fate it would appear.

"silent concern?" She's rocking back and forth like she's just as high as he is.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 3 days ago

Yup. She was out of her mind in that video.

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

She’s absolutely high as a kite

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.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago

They're all idiots.

People that voted for Trump are idiots.

People who didn't vote for anyone are idiots.

Dems who failed to read the room are idiots.

Republicans supporting Trump are idiots.

I think Musk is his own special class of idiot though.

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.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago

The Third Reich was big into drugs too, including Hitler.

It all fits.

oh come on. this is the most harmless behavior of the year. people make a big story out of anything.

instead of focusing on actual problems, such as Musk tried to cut social spending, people talk about this.
