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.

      If you don’t mind sharing, what is the exact combination of drugs that leads to psychosis like you described, besides ketamine ofc?

        There is some evidence that ketamine combined with hallucination inducing agents like Shrooms can favour psychosis. Additionally we know that inhibition reducing agents like MDMA combined with other drugs also increase the risk for psychosis.

          Damn, I’m not drug naive, but habitual use of ketamine and psilocybin and MDMA sounds dangerous. Long-term use MDMA alone is dangerous.

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

      What do you mean he couldn’t get a transplant? He’ll buy homes in every state to jump the list like Steve Jobs did after ignoring medical advice.

        He can surely buy a transplant - he will surely find a nice African or Central Asian fellow who will donate him one out of generosity and then the same fellow will find a bit of money on the street. Or a less nice Chinese citizen with reduced freedom to live.

        But that doesn’t change the fact that transplants need tissue to connect to. You usually connect a kidney transplant directly to the bladder,but in some cases you can use a bit of a ureter. But: For that to work you need uninflammed, structurally sound tissue.

        Which often not present in these cases it seems. So…he can get a transplant organ but it won’t work surgically. In theory you can also connect the new ureter to the rectum - but that,combined with immunosuppressive medication is a no-go as well.

        So… It’s likely he wouldn’t be able to get a surgically sound and midterm successful transplant. Just like Jobs couldn’t be saved back then.

            Good point. But I think he still will find either a techbro or a poor white fellow from the Caucasus or something for it.

        I think he means that the ureter itself cannot be transplanted, so the root cause is not solvable. A kidney transplant would be like putting in a new lightbulb in a defective lamp.

      You’re very optimistic.

      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)

        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.

      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

        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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

          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.
