Summary

“I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And he’s not funny. Like, at all,” a senior Trump administration official told Rolling Stone. “He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor. I keep using the word ‘annoying’; a lot of people who have to deal with him do.”

Musk’s insufferable behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs, the publication reports, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to be barely able to hide his immense dislike of the DOGE chief and State Department officials routinely call him “Crazy Uncle Elon” behind his back.

Other officials have suggested subjecting Musk to a mandatory drug test, which he has said is a “great idea” for federal employees, as a way to push him out of the door. The Tesla CEO has denied taking any illegal drugs, although numerous people claim to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms behind closed doors, the Wall Street Journal reports.

            A definitional concession to make exponential series work. xn for n ∈ (0, 1) is the nth root of x, which gets ever closer to 1, while x^n for n < 0 equals 1÷ (xn). Between them lies the neutral element with respect to multiplication 1 (neutral meaning that x × 1 = x; a factor of one doesn’t actually change anything). Hence, x0 = 1.

            That rule breaks down for x = 0, obviously. Negative exponents don’t work at all because they’re division by zero, while all exponents > 0 result in 0. Semantically, 00 probably should be undefined, but the neutral element rule does provide a definition. There also isn’t really any reasonable use case where you’d need that to be consistent with anything else.

      Yeah, that was my first thought that he really hadn’t because unless he micro-microdosed or just said he did to be “cool”, which is on brand for him, there’s no way he did hallucinogins and still came out the other side like that.

        From my understanding he’s a big proponent of the simulation theory, so he’s probably cool with being a shit person because it’s all a simulation anyways. I’d wager that he sees himself as a player in a video game and he’s going for high scores.

      I’m surprised Ketamine isn’t in this list, I thought it was his drug of choice this past year?

      I really doubt Elon is who he is and uses acid or shrooms. That just sounds like reefer madness nonsense to me.

      I wish we could dispel the myth that psychedelics make you peaceful and empathetic. In my experience and in my friend group they seem to make you be 100x what you already are. If you’re empathetic you become an empathy monster, if you’re analytical you start breaking things down, if you’re an annoying asshole you’re someone who should be kicked out of the room because that times 1000 is too much.
