"Elon Musk and Tesla Board Members Engaged in Recreational Substance Use Together"

Elon Musk's use of illicit substances was reportedly widely known among several current and former directors at Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report. Concerns were raised about the extent of Musk's drug consumption, with allegations that he engaged in drug use with some board members. The report suggests that neither investigations nor documentation of these concerns took place within the board.

This week, a Delaware judge criticized the relationship between Musk and his directors, citing conflicts of interest in a ruling that deemed Musk's $55 billion pay package excessive.

In response to the report, Musk and his lawyer, Alex Spiro, did not provide comments to the Wall Street Journal. Previous reports by the paper highlighted Musk's alleged use of LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private events. Spiro had previously stated in the report that Musk underwent regular and random drug tests at SpaceX and had consistently passed them.

According to the Wall Street Journal's latest findings, some friends and directors reportedly felt compelled to partake in illegal substance use with Musk to avoid upsetting him. Additionally, there were concerns about the potential repercussions of not being part of Musk's social circle, as it was seen as a valuable form of social capital.
