      Yes, but it leaves off the allegations that Musk was tripping on acid when he sent out that fateful tweet, which takes this whole thing from weird to bizarre.

          Literally tripping on acid. The NYT stirred rumors that he frequently dabbles in hard drugs such as cocaine, too; and it's well known he's a heavy Ambien user. He also has admitted to experience...

          Literally tripping on acid. The NYT stirred rumors that he frequently dabbles in hard drugs such as cocaine, too; and it's well known he's a heavy Ambien user. He also has admitted to experience with cannabis also (recently disparaging it for its lack of productivity), but proclaims a dislike of alcohol.

        Reading up on that, definitely bizarre. Some stuff about a threesome with a rapper in the allegation as well. LSD is fun, but it's not much of a sexual drug, and personally I can only barely stand...

        LSD is fun, but it's not much of a sexual drug, and personally I can only barely stand to operate technology at all on any entheogen. Acid does make me quite introspective, so I suppose I can see that as a potential reason for tweeting out his thought like that. But that tweet isn't too out of character for Musk anyway. The man clearly spends most of his time inside his head already. I could see him as the kind of person to use it, but I don't see any reason to think he was necessarily under the influence at the time.

    That was a very expensive tweet. Musk needs to take a break from Twitter.
