对马斯克来说幸运的是，尽管他的个人行为令人担忧，但他的公司表现异常出色。报告显示，自2018年以来，特斯拉的股价增长了1000%以上。深水资产管理公司（Deepwater Asset Management）的管理合伙人吉恩·蒙斯特（Gene Munster）表示，如果特斯拉的股价继续表现强劲，投资者可能会忽略许多问题。

“一小部分投资者将在下周出售他们的股票，并给股价带来一些压力，”Munster说。“大多数投资者不会在乎，因为它属于一类，如果你想从埃隆那里获利，你必须忍受他的争议。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/2016-Elon-Musk-2-1024x570.jpg

Elon Musk Denies Drug Use After WSJ Report Raises Concerns Among Execs

NASA requires that its contractors operate drug-free work environments, leading to concerns about the Musk's reported use of illicit substances

Elon Musk has taken to his social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), to deny a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report claiming that several executives and board members at businesses he oversees, including Tesla and SpaceX, were concerned about his alleged use of illegal recreational drugs. The Tesla boss claimed that he was subject to three years of random drug testing in his position at SpaceX, which never found evidence “any drugs or alcohol.”

The question of his relationship to illegal substances is relevant because of the lucrative contracts that his company holds with NASA, which requires that its contractors work in a drug-free environment. Musk reportedly agreed to undergo drug testing after he was filmed smoking marijuana on the Joe Rogan podcast. If he were to a fail a drug test, there may be dire consequences for SpaceX.

Musk’s denial came in the wake of a report from the Wall Street Journal, which quoted several unnamed sources who claimed they had witnessed him taking drugs, including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms at private parties around the world.

Sources also reported to WSJ that there were concerns among leaders at SpaceX and Tesla regarding Musk’s alleged drug use. One particular all-hands meeting at SpaceX in 2017 led to significant consternation after 15 minutes of rambling that attendees described as “nonsensical,” “unhinged,” and “cringeworthy.”

This has raised concerns that some of Musk’s more impulsive decisions may have been influenced by drug use. Alongside the internal concerns among Tesla’s top executives, this could potentially pose an external threat.

“This will give ammunition to class-action lawyers on behalf of disgruntled shareholders at Tesla, if they can tie evidence of drug use to his actual role as an executive,” Stephen Diamond, who teaches corporate governance at the Santa Clara University’s School of Law, told Autonews. “The Tesla board has an obligation to discern what’s going on here.”

Fortunately for Musk, his companies have performed exceptionally well despite the concerns about his personal conduct. Reports indicate that Tesla’s stock has grown by more than 1,000 percent since 2018. According to Gene Munster, a managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, investors are likely to overlook many issues if Tesla’s shares continue to perform strongly.

“A small percentage of investors will sell their stock over the next week and put some pressure on shares,” Munster said. “Most investors won’t care, because it falls into the category that you if want to profit from Elon, you have to put up with his controversies.”
