    Who cares what the cause of the behavior is? It is unacceptable.

    That should be enough. No need to even try to explain of empathize with it.

    But it is telling that the richest man in the history of mankind acts like this. People should see that wealth does not equate to strength, intelligence, good politics, etc. But instead people see wealth as a way to get away with anything they want, even if it is completely embarrassing stuff that no one with self respect would even think about.

      I believe it would be worth to research it. Similar to research into serial killers and other “unwanted” neurotypes we should try to learn how we can prevent people becoming like this and prevent becoming their victims

    Hey look, the media blaming drugs for stupid people doing stupid shit.

    This isn’t the ketamine. He would probably be even worse without it.

    I’m gonna tap the sign.

    (The Drug User’s Bible, by Dominic Milton Trott)

    Do not let Elon Musk own ketamine. It is a valid depression treatment.

      Well…it’s found to effective at halting the immediate effects of severe depression. In other words, it’s just enough to stop someone from going suicidal or worse. It has NOT been shown to be a good candidate for long-term use in treating general depression in anyone, in fact, there’s a larger nunber of studies correlating Ketamine abuse with mental defect than showing it useful in a medical capacity.

      There’s a huge difference between those two things. Here’s a study that only looked at previous records (no conflict of interest in new study targets) : https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8972190/
