Tesla (TSLA) stock is under pressure today following allegations that CEO Elon Musk pressured board members into drug use, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

This follows a Delaware judge ruling Tesla's board process for approving Musk's massive pay package was "deeply flawed," prompting concerns about his relationships with individuals of his executive board.

The troubling revelations about board oversight come as Tesla faces numerous headwinds including SAP SE (SAP) halting the use of Tesla as company cars and Piper Sandler's decision to cut it's price target on the stock.

Right. I'm sure he was telling the board members to do drugs.

Some of Elon Musk's company directors are said to feel an 'expectation' to use drugs with him to avoid upsetting the billionaire

Elon Musk is said to have created a culture of peer pressure among some of his friends and business associates that encourages them to use drugs with him, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal that details how board members and directors of his various companies either participate in or enable his substance use to stay close to the billionaire.

The Journal reported that at parties in recent years, Musk had been spotted taking ketamine recreationally through a nasal spray and drinking liquid ecstasy from a water bottle, citing people who witnessed the drug use or were briefed about it.

Current and former Tesla and SpaceX directors and board members— some of whom have invested tens of millions of dollars in Musk's companies or have significant stock options tied to their roles — had also used drugs with him, the Journal reported.

Sources told the Journal that the "volume" of Musk's drug use had created a culture wherein his closest business associates feared losing their wealth and social status by upsetting the billionaire if they refused to use drugs with him.

Musk, his lawyer Alex Spiro, and representatives for Tesla and SpaceX didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.

Following a January 6 report by The Journal that said the 52-year-old had used cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms over the years, Musk said in a post on X: "Whatever I'm doing, I should obviously keep doing it!"

After the January report, which could jeopardize Musk's security clearance as well as the billions of dollars of government contracts enjoyed by SpaceX as a defense contractor because of federal regulations on drug use, NASA said in a statement: "The agency does not have evidence of noncompliance from SpaceX on how the company addresses the drug- and alcohol-free workforce regulations."

Musk's reported drug use has been at the center of recent controversies after the Journal reported that a former director at Tesla was so concerned about Musk's drug use and unpredictable behavior that she chose not to stand for reelection to the electric-car company's board.

The Journal also reported that SpaceX executives worried Musk was on drugs during a "cringeworthy" all-hands meeting, in which the billionaire arrived nearly an hour late, rambling and slurring his words for about 15 minutes before the meeting was taken over by the spacecraft manufacturer's president.

Dude. We know the Legacy Media is going to do whatever it can to censor people who don't agree with the regime. And since the US Government can't just outright claim Eminent Domain on Twitter and resume control of operations there, defamation it is.

They're just trying to take down Elon Musk now so they can have their biggest propaganda tool back. They all tried to quit and go elsewhere, but nobody left with them and they're all back on Twitter now and they're super butt hurt that it's not a Leftist Utopia with the CIA and FBI operating on the highest levels like it used to be.

The only people who believe any of this bullshit are the people who don't matter. Nobody else is buying it.

I'm not going to speak any more on this issue because it's moot. Nothing is going to come of this.


You people on the left are getting so desperate right now. It's very humorous watching your recent behavior.

This is a variation of Trump's endless repetition of "Fake News!" When accused of being a tax cheater, Trump said "Fake News" a thousand times before it was revealed he paid only $750 in income tax. Nothing will be Real News to Trumptards until Trump is in jail, his companies are liquidated, and $billions in back taxes are paid. In the case of Elon Musk, Trumptards won't believe this guy is crazy until the price of Tesla stock crashes. Tesla stock market value is higher than all automobile companies combined. Once the stock gets valued the same as other car companies, perhaps Trumptards will realize Musk is a drug-addled fraud and con artist, much like Trump, but more successful.

Yes. I agree. That was bullshit too.

You're such a fucking loser.

Elon Musk Melts Down in Baffling Answer on Tesla Supercomputer - Feb 10, 2024

Dissecting Musk's largely nonsensical remarks, it's hard to believe the company is making much concrete progress on Dojo after all this time — or, if it is, it sounds like Musk has no idea about it.

In fact, it calls to mind an anecdote about Musk during his time at Zip2, one of his early companies. There, according to an employee, he put a normal PC inside a giant pompous wheeled case, which he would show off to potential investors and tell them it was a "mini supercomputer."

In other words, it sounds a lot like Musk is the same as he's always been: a talented marketer who leads with the hype, adjusting the story as he goes in response to reality. Remember when he first showed off a Tesla "robot" called Optimus, except that it was just a person in a suit?

Some of Musk's "magic" may be starting to fade. Tesla's shares have been put through the wringer this year, in large part due to the mercurial CEO's racist antics. Earlier this month, Quartz reported that the company is now officially the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500, a market index tracking the 500 largest companies in the US.

And yet, I was shocked to learn that Musk is not only the richest man in the world, hes almost twice as wealthy as the next richest, Zuckerborg.

I think SECOND is just jealous.
