Billionaire and technology entrepreneur Elon Musk revealed the benefits of using ketamine, stating that he has been suffering from depression and the measures he takes to control it.
Speaking in an interview with Don Lemon broadcast Monday about ketamine use, Elon Musk noted that he takes “a small amount once every two weeks” to manage his depressive feelings.
“Ketamine is helpful in getting you out of a negative mood,” he told Don Lemon, 52.
He was asked if there were any problems caused by his ketamine use and whether it hindered government contracts and his standing on Wall Street. Musk, who is also the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, said “no.”
“From a Wall Street standpoint, what matters is execution,” the tech mogul said, adding that “from an investor's standpoint, if there's something I'm taking, I should keep doing it.”
The reason he mentioned his ketamine use on X, formerly Twitter, is because he believed “maybe this is something that could help other people.”
The interview was broadcast days after the former cnn Journalist Lemon announced last week that Musk canceled his deal on X with the message “contract terminated.”
Musk's social media platform further issued a statement saying it would not “enter into a commercial partnership” with Lemon's show, however, the journalist was allowed to broadcast his content on the website.
