He's been known for his penchant to take certain substances and hang out at Burning Man—and it certainly hasn't hampered his coffers or brainpower. Not to say it contributed anything, either.
He's also gotten in trouble for saying (e.g. on Twitter) things he maybe should have kept to himself -- which effect of drug use (if it is) would be consistent with what I've seen in myself and friends.
Quite possible, yeah. But my only point was that he's a counterpoint to psychedelic drug use being an inhibitor of fiscal success. Nothing more. And like I said, I've got no skin in this game. I'm a whisky man.
Maybe if Elon Musk had published a diary detailing his experiences we could talk about how psychadelics have affected him, however in the absence of such a record, I don't think anyone else other than his close friends or family could really light up the dark of that relationship.
Wait. Wikipedia says Elon Musk skipped out on his mandatory South African military service. Is he still allowed back in South Africa? Does he still have their citizenship?
I wasn't saying anything beyond his usage hasn't inhibited him economically. He wasn't born with an electric car company, a rocket company, and a tunnel-boring company so he has amassed those things at the very least in spite of his usage.
There are also many people who trip semi-frequently yet still lead lives of relatively little consequence (relative to Elon Musk). A few of those people are personal friends of mine. I understand that you only wanted to tell us that Elon Musk trips sometimes.
Maybe Mr. Musk will chime in on this thread. I bet he lurks here.
