Larry Ellison Invited Musk to Hawaii to ‘Dry Out’ From Drug Use
Elon Musk’s drug use was widely known among some current and former board members at Tesla and the other companies he controls, according to The Wall Street Journal. His use of illegal drugs such as ecstasy led Oracle founder Larry Ellison to invite him to his residence in Hawaii to “dry out” in late 2022 after some friends encouraged him to go to rehab, according to the report.
During that period, Musk attended a party in the Hollywood Hills where he used liquid ecstasy, said the report, which cited a person who was there. He also took ketamine recreationally through a nasal spray bottle while partying at the Austin Proper Hotel, said the report.
The allegations, which build on the newspaper’s previous report of Musk’s drug use, could threaten federal contracts held by Musk’s rocketship company, SpaceX. Musk’s attorney Alex Spiro has disputed the reports, saying he has never failed a random drug test at SpaceX.
Spiro declined to comment, and Musk and an Oracle spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
