The world's richest man is also prone to depression.
Recently, it was reported that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is using small doses of ketamine to treat depression.
Musk's use of ketamine was witnessed at the party, and other people with direct knowledge of the matter have made the same claim.
Ketamine, a derivative of phencyclhexidine (PCP). Because its physical shape is usually white powder, and the first letter of the English name is K, it is commonly known as K powder.
In medical clinics, it is generally used as an anesthetic and is listed as a Class I psychotropic drug control.
The news immediately sparked widespread public attention and discussion, with some suggesting that he was using the drug for recreational purposes.
However, Musk responded on Twitter that antidepressants make people look like zombies, and that occasional ketamine is a better option.
Musk said: "In the United States, depression is overdiagnosed, but for some people, it is really a brain chemistry problem, but it does happen too much that antidepressants turn people into zombies." Based on my observations with friends, taking ketamine occasionally is a better option. ”
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time Musk has been exposed to poor mental health.
In early June 2017, he tweeted at night for two consecutive days: "A glass of red wine, an old record, some sleeping pills... A miracle has happened! "I hope they don't put a pin in my voodoo doll." It hurts, okay? This arouses suspicion from the outside world.
On July 30, Musk suddenly tweeted that he may have bipolar disorder, while saying that "maybe not medically", which is estimated to make Tesla shareholders sweat.
Now, the news that Musk is suffering from depression has once again given Tesla's shareholders a blow.
On June 21, Tesla ended the previous month's continuous rise pattern, on the same day, Tesla Tesla fell 5.45% to close at $259.46, evaporating $47.5 billion (about 340.5 billion yuan) in one day.
Subsequently, Tesla's stock price began to correct, and on June 26, Tesla's stock price plunged again, falling more than 6% on the day. As of the close of trading on June 29, Tesla closed at $257.5, with a total market value of $816.1 billion.
