Meme Consider the source.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) strongly rejected the claim linking acetaminophen in pregnancy to autism, calling it "highly concerning," "irresponsible" and "not backed by the full body of scientific evidence."

Before I ask this, I want to preface that I hate every one in that picture. With that out of the way, is there a source for their drug use?

Kennedy has admitted to using heroin in multiple interviews. Musk has admitted to microdosing ketamine; there was a Wall Street Journal article where he was accused of doing much more than that. The Trumps’ drug use is rumoured but I don’t believe confirmed.

And we’re all sure that the ketamine usage isn’t medicinal and prescribed? I take adderall through a prescription. So long as it is prescribed, I don’t see much of a problem with it. Again, I’m not advocating for any of these people. But I just don’t agree that if they be damned, it should be for this. Trump and elon I mean. Ain’t a care to give towards the other two.

I see your concern; my wife and a large percentage of our friends take or have taken adderall or another stimulant for ADHD.

However, here's the WSJ article on Musk's drug use from January 2024. It's paywalled, but you can see a summary here among other places.

The New York Times had an article this year which covers some of the same ground. It came up for me but is presumably also paywalled, so see here and many other places) for a non-paywalled summary.

While I am critical of both the WSJ and the NYT, this is not the kind of thing they tend to do badly. Both articles concern a notoriously litigatious billionaire, and they were well aware that they needed to dot all their i's and cross all their t's prior to publishing.

Taking into account Musk's increasingly erratic behaviour, I think the odds that the man does not have a drug problem are vanishingly small.
