Recent conjectures surrounding SpaceX's CEO Elon Musk's supposed illicit drug use brought about a response from NASA. NASA stated, "There's no documented evidence of non-adherence by SpaceX to the regulations for a drug- and alcohol-free workforce," according to the information conveyed to Futurism. This appears to suggest that none of Musk's team, including himself, failed the drug tests they were subjected to.
These alleged concerns about Musk's drug usage were sent to NASA, triggering many to ponder if they could potentially affect NASA's contracts with him. Given the federal government's well-known strictness concerning drug use, these concerns led to further discussions about the process through which Musk's test samples were handled and examined.
Whilst these claims remain contentious, Musk's known practices such as his public cannabis use during an interview with Joe Rogan in 2018 did result in observable consequences. These included an apparent increase in his mandatory government-administered drug tests. Post that incident, he has publicly propagated the use of substances like ketamine and psychedelics as treatment options for mental health disorders, including depression.
In addition, over recent years, there have been unverified allegations that Musk, who hails from South Africa, uses a variety of substances, varying from cocaine to LSD, including Special K. Such consumption is allegedly impacting his leadership behaviors and creating concern among his circles.
As per NASA's statement to Futurism, the responsibility of overseeing the employees working on specific contracts, labeled as 'employees in a sensitive position,' falls under the contracted companies' jurisdiction.
The understanding developed from the provided information suggests that at SpaceX, someone or some group is assigned with the responsibility of collecting Musk's urine samples and delivering them to the testing authorities. The trustworthiness of this responsible party in terms of the authenticity of the specimen testing is a matter of speculation.
A report published in 'Business Insider' last month and our findings from this week reveal that NASA is non-committal about what exactly those urine tests may have disclosed. The inference that could be drawn from this stance is that if Musk is indeed substance-involved, it’s happening without the government's knowledge.
