Elon Musk uses ketamine to boost his mental health, the billionaire said in a video interview that was streamed on YouTube on Monday. When asked about drug use, Musk — the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX — answered, 'There are times when I have sort of … a negative chemical state in my brain, like depression, I guess.' He noted that he uses a 'small amount once every other week.
If you use too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work,' he said. This isn’t the first time Musk has discussed ketamine use. In a post on X in June 2023, the entrepreneur stated, 'From what I’ve seen with friends, ketamine taken occasionally is a better option.' Fox News Digital reached out to Musk for further comment about his widely reported interview on Monday.
There can be risks, however, when it’s given in unsupervised circumstances. 'Patients should not self-medicate and should only receive ketamine treatments after an appropriate psychiatric evaluation and medical screening,' he added. For more Health articles, visit www.foxnews/health.
