Elon Musk’s alleged drug use led Larry Ellison to invite the fellow billionaire to dry out at the Oracle co-founder’s Hawaii estate, according to a report.
Ellison, a Tesla board member, reached out to the Tesla boss in the winter of 2022 as concerns grew from others on the board about Musk’s behavior, the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend.
Musk, whose portfolio of companies includes SpaceX and the social media platform X, has acknowledged using ketamine to treat depression.
But he also has reportedly popped recreational drugs such as LSD and ecstasy with members of Tesla’s board, including venture capitalists Steve Jurvetson and Antonio Gracias.
Jurvetson and Gracias are among eight members of the board who have personal relationships with Musk and have amassed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shares — which is significantly more than directors at other publicly traded companies.
Musk has created a culture around him in which friends and board members are expected to consume drugs with him out of fear that not doing so would upset the CEO, according to The Journal.
