Elon Musk's Ketamine Use Raises Questions About Mental Health and Leadership

The billionaire confirms medical use of ketamine for depression, but concerns grow over potential recreational consumption and its impact on his behavior.

  • Elon Musk has publicly acknowledged using ketamine biweekly under medical supervision to manage depressive symptoms.
  • Reports suggest Musk may also use ketamine recreationally, alongside other substances like cocaine and ecstasy, raising concerns among colleagues.
  • Ketamine, traditionally an anesthetic, is increasingly used in psychiatry for treatment-resistant depression and suicidal ideation, though it carries significant risks when misused.
  • Observers and associates have linked Musk's erratic public behavior, including impulsive decisions and controversial statements, to his reported substance use.
  • The drug's dissociative and hallucinogenic effects have sparked broader discussions about its medical applications and potential for abuse.
