FULL TITLE: Now Elon Musk faces US Air Force investigation into his wild weed-smoking podcast because the drug-taking breaches SpaceX security clearance rules
The US Air Force is looking into Elon Musk after he smoked marijuana during a wild, rambling two-and-a-half-hour podcast streamed live onto YouTube, it emerged on Friday.
Marijuana use is prohibited for people with government security clearance, which Musk gained in 2015 when his company SpaceX started launching satellites for the Pentagon.
The US Air Force told DailyMail.com a formal investigation is not underway at this time, but would not rule out that members of the department were looking into the incident. An Air Force source confirmed to CNBC that staff were examining the podcast.
Tesla shares plunged this morning after the Tesla founder smoked and drank whiskey while discussing everything from drugs to the possibility we're all living in a simulation.

If you watch to video podcast, it was Rogan that was unhinged, not Musk.
He will be forced out of Space-X. Might even be forced to sell his shares. Idiot.
Reality sucks. Lose his his clearance he should. Just like anyone else, use drugs, lose clearance, use job. In his case, company.
I predict a stint in rehab in the immediate future.
One of the most brilliant men on the planet briefly puffed on a tobacco/marijuana spliff at the end of a long and very insightful interview.
He went on to discuss the negative effects of marijuana use on productivity...
The media focus on this relatively minor event is overblown...but that’s the click-bait world we live in these days, isn’t it?
Perhaps because he generally thinks that he can do whatever the hell he wants.
Oh my.

A long and fascinating interview - I watched most of it and came away impressed with Elon. It was... sobering.
On Joe Rogans show....a Trumpist
Bad judgement I agree
But man Musk sure gets some fine women
Anyone watch west world
The tall blonde greeter who joins the trek ...to the wormhole...she’s the plaything of several characters
That’s his ex wife Tallulah something....she’s hot
He’s a strange dude no question
Btw he’s obviously high look at his eyes
Damn I’d smoke weed too....but my older boy gave it up and my wife hasn’t in years
I liked it
It just gets in the way
If I lived on a boat or on the river with my only worry being mailbox money and cardiologist visits
I’ll taste some on rare occasion....I can feel just. Hint of a buzz ....it’s like I have t quit for 28 years
Which is what it would be......”hey mom dads stoned on his iPad again....I think he’s falling asleep”
Can’t have that....weed is great for bedtime romping though
I know at least one man who can design/build it etc. He wanted to be a Von Braun at 12 after the DR. told him he had to wear glasses. That ruined his other dream of being an AF jet pilot. Yes, he has a DOD contracting company, add a BSAE, MSAE, plus PHD in ENG MGMT.
Hysterical liberals are using the Clinton defense, claiming Musk didn’t inhale.
It just gets better every day. Liberals back every possible loser in existence.
Too bad his doctor was misinformed. Military pilots can have refractive surgery to get out of glasses. Some of the older ones are even flying with IOLs now. You can’t have diseased eyes however as that typically rules out refractive surgery.
It was extremely fascinating. I have new respect for him.
He seems to be getting a little weird lately. Several times recently he’s called one of the guys involved with the cave rescue in Thailand a “pedophile”. Just won’t leave it be. The guy’s a nobody, but criticized Musk for bring an underwater rescue vehicle that was way too big to fit through the cave passage.
He doesn’t care.
The jig is up on Monday.
Yup. Only dopes smoke dope
Musk truly believes we are all living in a “simulator”. That is, we are all lines of code in an artificial “reality”. We simply do not exist, except as electronic pulses in some otherworldly reality. Believing that, he might be losing it because he is convinced he’s not real and his “accomplishments” were code written by an unknown other intelligence.
“SpaceX now passes from the Government contract rolls”
no.
The only thing at risk here is Musk’s own clearance.
It’s overblown because of how we are trained to react by the same media.
Just because someone's really smart doesn't make them always right. He doesn't know that about himself, or is in denial about it. The first real wing-ding interview of his that I recall was the one where he equated his father with Satan or Hitler or something. Chris Rock (who some years ago made up and delivered that "joke" about McCain that DJT got a lot of heat about) said that some kids need bullying, that the people who will cure cancer or replace fossil fuels will have been bullied as kids.
Yeah, it's a sort of stupid notion. :^)
Musk obviously suffers from PTSD.
He has wound up turning on everyone he's ever gone into business with (he's not the founder of Tesla, after all, although I still see him referred to in that manner; he was involved in raising capital for the company a year after it was founded). He's like a medieval sovereign, he needs a court jester to needle him with the truth, he clearly only values obsequious yes-men and yes-women.
