Quite noticeable
Unmistakable, even.
What do you me-
Oh.
thats his cocaine binge. even DT knows when to not get high on coke.
Indubitably, some may say!
You know, this is the libertarian argument for drugs and hookers for me. This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you’re rich enough. I just want it to be legal for everyone regardless of whether they’re billionaires.
Cannabis is the stupidest example imo, it’s criminalisation causes more harm than good, it’s the kingpins and people profiting off of prisoners, pushing and advocating for continued criminalisation.
Private prisons are one of the worse outcomes of austerity, it encourages laws like this just to send as many poor people to prison as possible just so they can line their pockets, the most braindead one being the conjoined enterprise laws in the UK, which is a perfect case study as to why austerity which is musks entire strategy for economic prosperity, is a grift which is only ever capable of working for your government if there’s a scapegoat which you can blame your economic strategy failing on.
The only real issue I have with smoking weed is the lung cancer bit, but cigs apparently are perfectly fine 🤷♂️

YES! However, EVERYTHING is legal in the US, if you’re rich enough or have some sort of connection to the rich - see Jan 6 folks.
Using ketamine recreationally to get high isn’t legal
And yet, when is Elon’s court date?
If a law isn’t enforced, then it functionally doesn’t exist. If the law only exists for some of the population, then it’s a tool of oppression.
“What am context?”

Well, not entirely. We can get into a lot more good reasons why drug laws and prostitution laws are ass, but, I mean, yeah. Being rich doesn’t make you above the law. If we’re unwilling to enforce it on the wealthy, we shouldn’t enforce it on the poor.
Without liberty and justice for all, there can be no one nation indivisible. Calexit!

Look, I’m open to a more nuanced conversation. I believe in regulation, not bans, not oppression.

Which do you prefer
- All laws apply to everyone
- All laws apply to poor people
- Some laws apply to rich people
- Some laws apply to everyone
Ya but just for the fun stuff like drugs.

Because once the laws themselves make sense, it would no longer make sense to call them “drug laws”. They would be called “free health care” and “social workers”.
Hey, can’t a guy dance around the room with a fucking chainsaw without people making allegations anymore?
There literally was a video of him nodding off, high out of his mind during the inauguration.
Was that before or after he gave two Nazi salutes?
Kinda lost track TBH.
I mean, come on, who hasn’t danced around a room with a chainsaw before??
Seriously, folks need to let loose lol
Fascists love their drugs don’t they?
The Fascism-to-Incontinence pipeline is real.
To be fair we all love our drugs. Unless you like to be sober, that’s cool too.
Edit: Musk is a piece of shit either way, no excuses there.
Yeah but there’s a difference between smoking a bowl in the comfort and safety of your home versus taking mind altering substances while making major economic and policy decisions for a country…
Eh, potato-potato.
That particular expression doesn’t quite work so well in written form
I agree. He’s a major problem, no question about it. Not only because of the drugs either, but in general. The damage he’s done to your country is measured in lives lost, not money, in my opinion. The money part is just the tip of the iceberg in his case.
I’d like to see more decision makers be under the influence to be honest. Musk is just getting hate because he’s “on the wrong side” against the hippies who at one point loved the guy a few years back. Societal consensus is fickle muse and sheep jump on the latest fad of hating someone prominent.
I’m pretty sure the problem is they’re so quick to throw someone in prison for doing the same thing and regulate what poor people are allowed to take whilst taking it themselves.
Well. I would argue that drug use is all about hammering reality into a tolerable/enjoyable shape. Fascists by definition also transform through force. The key distinction seems to be a drug user themselves become transformed through chemical force, where as the fascist forces others to change using violence/threat of violence. In both cases though, there exists a certain egomaniacal reluctance to meet the terms of reality, and instead attempt to change the terms through force. There is a very consistent common bond between the hyper wealthy, the tyrannical, and the drug dependant, to be very stubborn and narcissistic. In all three, the ego is driving the bus, and there is some corruption with self esteem. In all three there is a fundamental inability to accurately assign value. A lot of money/power/release is never enough. The only acceptable amount is “more”. And the compulsion to find more: wealth, or power, or opportunity to use substances, becomes the whole point of waking life. Until it’s just you and the compulsion in the world alone, and every thing and every one else is just a puzzle you solve to get more like a rat in an experiment. Long story short, people at odds with reality tend to use similar and often overlapping tactics to get by. What do the tyrant, the drug addict, and the billionaire all have in common? A singular focus to fill an unfillable hole.
Starting with Religion.
Everyone loves drugs regardless of political leanings. Everyone is just hypocritical when it comes to the one they like, even you I bet :)
There is no scientific evidence for your claim. Gibberish.
Give all of them legal access to any drugs they want in copious quantities. Encourage them to take more. Let problems solve themselves.

You get turned on by some weird shit.
No comment.
I’m all for this.
Can’t solve the fentanyl crisis without knowing what it is, right?
Also, give them submarines
A Titanic idea
If standard TV is any measure, eventually they’ll all die of Fentanyl overdoses.
“Allegedly”
Dude was caught grinding on camera. Nothing alleged about it.
DUI hire
Hah
Underrated comment.
no waaaaay! really? wow… positively shocked
Another junky trying to run our country.
He’s more ketamine than blood
I just got a three day ban from Reddit for saying he should up his intake by 10x.
Why are you still on Reddit?
Don’t kink shame. A humiliation fetish is perfectly respectable.
Because not everyone has an autistic level of dislike for it.
I could see why you were banned from reddit.
is that news?
he’s visibly high in some videos
When people do stupid things you might ask them “are you on drugs?” Sarcastically. In this case it was a serious question. At the highest level.
Has anyone else noticed that we don’t have many dystopian/apocalyptic movies but way more documentaries these days?
He should’ve gone with that angle after the sieg heils. “Sorry bros, my bad, I was just stoned off my monstrously deformed and hideously botched nuts”.
I hate Elon as much as any sane person, but who gives a fuck about “allegedly”? Wake me up when there’s an actual story.
Because unless it’s proven by a court, they have to write allegedly.
This changes nothing, and really shouldn’t surprise anyone bc most people just assumed he was, based on his constantly bizarre behavior, from doing a fucking Nazi salute on stage to the micro moments like when he looked like he was glitching/buffering during Trump’s inauguration.
Given that the administration pretty successfully managed to gaslight the entire nation after two nazi salutes, that we all saw, I doubt we would even be seeing so many negative headlines about Musk right now if the narrative wasn’t intentionally being shifted that way by people in the white house. He went from the untouchable dark force who was running the country, to the guy in the cheese hat that annoyed everyone and who gave himself bladder issues by doing too much ketamine.
Thiel got him to serve as the face of dismantling the federal government, and then pushed him aside once Kratsios was confirmed by the senate. Stealing government data to dump into AI was something they have had planned since Trump’s first administration. They just needed a public scapegoat, and Musk was more than willing to take the bait.
That said, have people seriously forgotten that in every headline any accusation is always “alleged” even if it’s something like rape or murder?
They’ve been slipping on that with Mangionw trial coverage at a definitely-more-than-coincidental rate. Stop giving massive institutions with crystal-clear motives the benefit of the doubt.
Oh. Good point. I admit I got ahead of the facts there, so thanks for that.
So much upvotes/activity from people on these kind of empty headlines, and it just weakens the cause against fascism in my eyes.
Yes and… Is he going to face drug charges.
lol
