The article discusses Elon Musk's reported use of ketamine, linking it to troubling behavioral patterns noted in studies of frequent users. Research led by Celia Morgan indicates that ketamine can cause severe memory issues and a tendency toward delusional thinking among regular users. Musk's increasingly bizarre actions, particularly after acquiring Twitter, appear to align with these documented side effects of ketamine. Concerns from his associates regarding his mental state highlight the potential impacts of his ketamine usage amid personal and professional stressors.
Everyone in that cohort - from those who used it three times a month on average to those who did it 20 times per month - had 'profound' short- and long-term memory issues and were 'distinctly dissociated in their day-to-day existence.'
Regular users scored very high on delusional thinking scales and seemed to be convinced that they were receiving secret messages sent to them alone.
His behavior in recent years has grown more and more erratic, especially since his purchase of Twitter, in ways that seem to track with those descriptions of frequent ketamine use side effects.
Those associates were worried that Musk's alleged ketamine habit, paired with his increasing self-imposed isolation and the stress from the many businesses he owns, was impacting his decisions.
