Twitter boss Elon Musk ‘takes ketamine to help depression’, insiders claim
TESLA chief Elon Musk takes ketamine to party and help with depression, it was claimed earlier today.
The billionaire Twitter boss, 51, is said to take full doses at parties.
And insiders have claimed he microdoses the horse tranquilliser to help with depression.
The claims appeared in respected American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, which cited “people who witnessed him use ketamine and others with direct knowledge of his use”.
Mr Musk did not comment but he wrote on Twitter: “Depression is overdiagnosed in the US.
“But zombifying people with SSRIs [antidepressants] happens too much.
“From what I’ve seen with friends, ketamine taken occasionally is a better option.”
Recreational use of ketamine is banned in every US state.
Musk took one puff of a spliff while appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in 2018 in California, where pot is legal.
He revealed last year that after the incident, he and staff at his SpaceX firm were subjected to drugs tests for a year by the federal government.

He said: "SpaceX has a federal government contract — and it's still illegal federally.
"So the SpaceX competitors were like 'Hey, why don't you do anything? Look at him brazenly smoking weed on Joe Rogan's podcast’."
