The Left’s hypocritical attack on Musk’s drug use

Why is it that prescription ketamine is more carefully administered than the abortion pill? For those fearful of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the answer is obvious: Thoughtcrime is worse than physical crime, at least in the political realm.

This makes sense in that the paramount aspect of leftist political activity right now is the exposure of Musk “the oligarch.” Given his closeness to President Donald Trump, as something of an adviser and resource, Musk’s influence is a fair thing to question. He is morally negligent (or worse) when it comes to family, and he has an erratic record of political alignment. On top of that, Musk is a known drug user. This last point is the newest line of attack the Left is pursuing to discredit his involvement with the administration.
