I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.

Don’t forget this guy bragged a few years back about not sleeping or sleeping in his office. Let’s not discount how years of sleep deprivation has probably influenced his chaotic behavior.

It's prolly the drugs keeping him awake

I know the perfect cure: a vacation to Mars on a Starship. It would remove any depression and drug addiction.

"Elon Didn't Kill Himself"

Oh please, I'd like to be part of that investigation. Not that I care who would've done it, only that is happened.

He's a ketamine abuser, so it checks out.

Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11

Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12

Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14

Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16

ive been living with a combination of drugs depression and stress for most of my life and im not a megalomaniac asshole billionaire hellbent on destroying the country...

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 25 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah that's the key takeaway.

A billion dollars turns you into some kind of Duke, or Landed Noble.

Where you can like.. buy a small army, take over a country, that sort of thing.

Billionaires shouldn't exist.

A study on this led to one of my most amusing facts; that npr accidentally radicalized me as an anarchist by introducing me to this concept

American media is 50% terrified of criticizing him and losing access, and 50% complicit.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 26 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Cool, i hope he has a painful and debilitating aneurysm during a live interview in the Oval.

Stop, my penis can only get so erect.

Only if he also soils himself.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 32 points 14 hours ago (7 children)

Hopefully he offs himself before his DOGE takes full control of a nuclear silo.

I must imagine it is quite stressful to be the single most hated person on the planet. Then again, I think that would be easy to remedy by simply not being a fascist fuckwit.

Homeboys scams are coming to an end and those will destroy him, so he is trying to destroy America instead and has found useful greedy idiots to help.

Wealth doesn't heal old wounds. You can be the most powerful man in the world and not feel in control.

He needs a good therapist not a biographer.

Just when I was starting to feel some sympathy for him I googled "Elon Musk therapy" and this was the first thing to come up...

Given how this douche canoe acts, and the damage he's done lately, I just hope he finds himself in a very slow, painful decline and maybe he'll snap while in the oval office with first lady Trump.
