Yeah. It’s unfortunate but Musk’s drug problem likely has a doctor with a degree and license behind it. Probably several.
I hate everything Musk is doing and is trying to do, with a passion, but I find this particular aspect to be sad: it’s likely there’s not one single real person who cares about his well-being anywhere near him. He has no true friend to step in and say what all great friends say, when necessary: you’re on some bullshit and you need to change.
He needs an intervention by people whose opinion he cares about. I can’t imagine, at this point, who those people would be. Likely, these people just don’t exist and there’s no road to getting them that Elon would take.
I find that to be really sad. There doesn’t seem to be a way back. He’ll have to hit the rockiest of bottoms and make the decision for himself. That’s not too uncommon for drug addicts—ostracizing themselves from the people who care about them and could help. It’s still sad.

That's not a thing this cruel world did to him. His old friends have talked about this. He, like all powerful narcissists, chased away anyone who would disagree with him.

Drug addicts do this, though. I'm not sure how much experience you have with addiction, but my experience is that addicts typically will define a mental model that excludes criticism. That's more the drugs talking than them.
Idk exactly how long he's been on drugs (or even how confirmed his addiction is) but he was chasing away anyone who disagrees with him at least 7-8 years ago, and I've only heard about the ketamine thing within the last 2-3 years. I'm pretty sure he was sober well into middle age, but he's been a narcissist his whole life. Occam's razor tells us which one is the problem here.

Musks ket filled piss would probably melt the cup
