Elon Musk's alleged drug use puts 13,000 jobs at risk, report suggests


Elon Musk's possible use of illegal drugs is causing concern for bosses within his companies, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Musk, chief executive officer of Tesla and SpaceX, has denied the claims, insisting no trace of drugs or alcohol has been found in his body during random tests over three years. According to the report, Linda Johnson Rice, a former Tesla board member, decided against re-election because of her worries about Musk's drug use and unpredictable behaviour. According to WSJ's report, Musk's alleged drug use poses a risk to approximately €900 billion ($1 trillion) in assets, 13,000 jobs, and the US space programme.
