This chapter discusses the recent Wall Street Journal article claiming that Elon Musk has been using illegal drugs, specifically ketamine, and the potential consequences it may have for his government contracts. The speakers also touch on his past drug use, mental health issues, and compare his behavior to other troubled tech industry figures. The chapter ends with the introduction of a guest expert, Dr. Jeffery Swisher, to further discuss the topic.
Kara and Scott are back with a lot to discuss! They start with the new Wall Street Journal piece on Elon Musk’s drug use, and get some medical expertise and insights from Kara's brother, Dr. Jeffrey Swisher. Then, they discuss the fallout from Harvard president Claudine Gay's resignation, and Bill Ackman's wife facing plagiarism charges. Plus, Disney's family feud between ESPN and Jimmy Kimmel, a possible Warner Bros/Paramount merger on the horizon, and more.
