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.”

    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.

      They’re all idiots.

      People that voted for Trump are idiots.

      People who didn’t vote for anyone are idiots.

      Dems who failed to read the room are idiots.

      Republicans supporting Trump are idiots.

      I think Musk is his own special class of idiot though.

        He’s got all the problems of Dr. Manhattan and none of the upsides. Everything bores him and it’s destroying him. Well, couldn’t have happened to a more deserving individual.

        That’s the thing and something I’ve noticed for many years and in meeting many Americans.

        The majority of Americans I’ve met in person were good wholesome people and most of the time I couldn’t tell the difference if they were American or Canadian (unless they had a strong accent from the American south).

        It’s when you start talking about politics or religion that things seem to fall apart. There’s a strong Christian ‘identity’, it’s certainly not religious … cult like but not religious.

        But in the mix are good natured people with good natured ideas of politics and inclusion … but the loudest most obnoxious ones always seem to win out.

        I’ve done my best to not paint all Americans as selfish, ignorant, self absorbed, hateful individuals … but in light of everything that is coming out of the US government, which should represent the ideas and attitudes of a country … it is getting harder and harder to like America or Americans.

          I don’t blame you. I grew up here thinking that most people were generally good/decent people. I was propagandized to hell and back and grew up believing that America was as good as it got in the world. Other places (like Canada) weren’t bad, but just but as great as America.

          It wasn’t until I left my cult-like religion (Mormonism) at age 18 that I truly started learning more accurate history and exploring other cultures that I realized how deep in the hole I was as a human. I spent 20 years thinking that America was imperfect but had the potential to be better, and to come to terms with it’s thorny past. Obama being elected seemed to prove that potential.

          Trump (then Trump 2.0) had destroyed that last illusion and I’m not sure what it would take to rebuild any sense of pride in my country. My entire extended family (as far as I’m aware of) are all in support of what is happening here, and it is stressing any vestige of relationship I had left after leaving their religion all those years ago.

          Trust takes years to build, and a moment to lose. America has lost any trust in this moment. It’ll take a lifetime to rebuild at best. My son is in for a harder life because of it and I can’t help feeling guilty

    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.

    Nothing beats Elon Musk doing Sieg Heils, but the reminders of his other idiocies - to say nothing about the harm of being a drug addict - are really bad too.

      That confirmed what I thought, its actually wayy worse. Its permanent urinary retention. Had transient version of it a few times doing DXM and its terrifying and horribly uncomfortable if not downright painful.

      The only thing at the time that can help you is taking a bath or immersing your junk in hot water so it relaxes everything and makes you reflexively pee but thats a pain in the ass if you gotta do it every time you need to piss. He’s in for a horrible reality check if he isnt already currently at that point.

      Jesus, he has such shit taste in drugs and using then
