    He’s the CEO of five companies. If he really works 100 hours a week like he says (and maybe ketamine does make that possible), that means being a CEO is at best a part-time job.

      Most certainly not how ketamine works. Would be the opposite, if anything.

        when given to healthy volunteers, the drug induced paranoia, perceptual changes and a wide range of other symptoms including disorganisation of thought, negativism, apathy, withdrawal, poverty of speech, perseveration and catatonic posturing.

        I dunno, this sounds like most of the CEOs I’ve interacted with personally.

      Yup. 100%. People have been saying for decades that being a CEO (often expanded out to CxOs, too) is like being some kind of super-star athlete and that people in those positions get paid many many many multiples of the average wage of employees they oversee because they are just operating next level and work so fucking hard and so many hours, too.

      Virtually every time Elon hits the news we are all reminded in quite stark terms what complete bullshit that narrative was.
