Unless he gets help, it's inevitable, IMO. It will take more and more ketamine to get high and that will become deadly. At least his children will be seen to, financially. What a legacy. Jesus.

If hes doing K as they indicate, then his tolerance must be through the roof.

(62,575 posts)Ketamine is an NMDA receptor antagonist, developed in the 1960s to induce anesthesia in patients but recreational users have found great appeal in its antidepressant, dissociative and hallucinatory effects that are characteristic of the K-hole experience.[2] Whereas the common recreational dose of ketamine is approximately 3075 mg, a dose of more than 150 mg is required to enter the K-hole.[3]
Experiencing a K-hole varies greatly for each individual. The intensity and length are influenced by the users' current mental state, previous experience and drug dosage.[4] Ketamine induces dose-related effects that include distortion of time and space, hallucinations and mild dissociative effects. During K-hole, users experience a high level of detachment from the environment, resulting in an inability to respond to surroundings and move their bodies functionally.[5] During these states, perception seems to lie deep within consciousness so that the reality of the "outside" world appears to reside in the distance. A high number of recreational users report that the most appealing effects of this experience are "melting into surroundings", "visual hallucinations", "out of body experience" and "giggliness".[2] By contrast, the least frequent and most negative effects include near-death experiences,[4] and physical health problems, like the so-called "K-cramps" from gastric pain, bladder failure, and unappealing mental side-effects, like "memory loss". "Decreased sociability" are also reported post-K-hole.[2]
Despite its addictive risks, ketamine is considered by many to be "harmless" and thus a "drug of choice".[4] Recreational users seem to be in discord about the K-hole. Many individuals describe it as a fascinating life-changing experience and a spiritual journey resulting in some form of spiritual realization. They state that this experience provided clairvoyance and assisted them to get through mental disorders like depression and social anxiety.[6] About half of the recreational users describe the K-hole as a positive experience, as it provides "a short escape from their daily problems".[4] Even though some people seem to enjoy and actively look for the K-hole, for many it is still an unwanted side effect of an overdose of ketamine.[4]
Frequent K-hole experiences can also result in episodic and semantic memory impairments.[7] Depending on how long this state lasts, hallucinations and symptoms of psychosis can develop.[8] The K-hole experience can produce physical risks. For instance, bladder damage can be an indication of ketamine-induced (ulcerative) interstitial cystitis.[9][10]

(53,052 posts)and I would gladly send him enough to OD if I had the chance. Maybe he'll drown in a hot tub related "accident". The only "good" Elon is a dead Elon. Same goes for the entire MGA cult. Kill them all and maybe this planet will stand a chance to survive, at least save the innocent animals and plants.

(50,066 posts)I have seen it happen before. In Central Florida, the main crazy that led the charge to a massive dismantling of long-standing community development planning and standards in favor of property rights was a huffer. And after he accidentally killed himself, there was no self-reflection by those who followed him. Quite the opposite. They squelched all kinds of questions by saying that it should be dealt with compassion. Poor guy don't say anything bad about him. That kind of thing. Expect the same if it happens to Musk.

(10,592 posts)... wealthy celebrity addicts usually have knowledgeable "Doctor" to advise about ODs and keep the drug use in a lane. However, an addict will ultimately "listen" to the addiction. Therefore, the "Doctor" must have power over the wealthy drug-user. This is rare, but possible. And, of course, there could come a time when "Doctor" isn't around or heard. Then the "unexpected" death makes headlines.

(62,575 posts)Would it have been "kind of pathetic" for POWs in Germany or concentration camp inmates to hope that Hitler would die?
Would it have been "kind of pathetic" for inhabitants of the Gulags to hope that Stalin would die, or for those being tortured in Tuol Sleng to hope for a speedy end to Pol Pot and the rest of the Khmer Rouge leadership?
When a prancing, arrogant and fundamentally clueless asshole dances around with cheese on his head, wielding a chainsaw while fucking up the lives of hundreds of thousands of his fellow citizens and pounding our government into rubble, yeah, I hope he fucking dies.
Nothing pathetic about it - it's the best possible outcome for anyone who's not Elon Musk.

(24,418 posts)He is a wannabe, but he in no way compares with them. And what is the success percentage of wishing people dead? It doesn't hurt them but does it make you feel better?
It does indicate the height of helplessness.
