Musk replies to the Wall Street Journal: 'Drugs? Never tested positive"

Elon Musk criticises the Wall Street Journal after its article on the billionaire's drug use. The tycoon claims that he has not tested positive for any random tests in the last three years and refers to his successes at Tesla and SpaceX in his defence, suggesting that if drug use increased his productivity then 'I should definitely take drugs'.

The use of illegal drugs could be a violation of federal policies and put at risk billions of dollars of contracts SpaceX has with the US government, as well as possibly breaking Tesla and SpaceX company policies. According to the Wall Street Journal, the divine Elon would use cocaine, ecstasy, hallucinogenic mushrooms and ketamine. The newspaper reports direct testimony from people who claim to have seen Musk consume the drugs in question at private parties.

These incidents would not be confined to the United States, but would occur in different parts of the world. Participants would be required to sign confidentiality agreements and turn off their mobile phones at the entrance to avoid recording videos or capturing compromising photos.
