Don't know why the media keeps using words like "allegedly" and "reportedly" when there's plenty of photographic evidence to eliminate the doubt. It's no secret this moron is a junkie.
"Allegedly" and "reportedly" are magic words that keeps the lawyers away, since no media company actually wants the liability of being an authoritative source of information.
Isn't there also photographic evidence of cocaine use by world leaders? The very idea in an age of cheap-as-dirt fake AI "photographs" is hilarious to me.

"Allegedly"
Dude was caught grinding on camera. Nothing alleged about it.
You know, this is the libertarian argument for drugs and hookers for me. This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you're rich enough. I just want it to be legal for everyone regardless of whether they're billionaires.
Cannabis is the stupidest example imo, it's criminalisation causes more harm than good, it's the kingpins and people profiting off of prisoners, pushing and advocating for continued criminalisation.
Private prisons are one of the worse outcomes of austerity, it encourages laws like this just to send as many poor people to prison as possible just so they can line their pockets, the most braindead one being the conjoined enterprise laws in the UK, which is a perfect case study as to why austerity which is musks entire strategy for economic prosperity, is a grift which is only ever capable of working for your government if there's a scapegoat which you can blame your economic strategy failing on.
The only real issue I have with smoking weed is the lung cancer bit, but cigs apparently are perfectly fine 🤷♂️

Source: we could see it.
I wish Trump would take some shrooms. It might make him more human.
It does help with empathy and unresolved trauma, but Trump seems to be so broken that there's no fix to it

The sad thing is, I think his sentences are a little more complete and coherent than Trumps' even in his drugged out state.
That's not a high (heh) bar to beat
When people do stupid things you might ask them "are you on drugs?" Sarcastically. In this case it was a serious question. At the highest level.
Has anyone else noticed that we don't have many dystopian/apocalyptic movies but way more documentaries these days?

Fascists love their drugs don’t they?
no waaaaay! really? wow.... positively shocked
Hey, can't a guy dance around the room with a fucking chainsaw without people making allegations anymore?
There literally was a video of him nodding off, high out of his mind during the inauguration.

I just got a three day ban from Reddit for saying he should up his intake by 10x.
Why are you still on Reddit?
Don't kink shame. A humiliation fetish is perfectly respectable.

Yeah, you could tell. This isn't really news, just a confirmation.

Give all of them legal access to any drugs they want in copious quantities. Encourage them to take more. Let problems solve themselves.
Lock the UN in the General Assembly Room with a bunch of MDMA and don't let them out until we have world peace and/or chlamydia.

I hate Elon as much as any sane person, but who gives a fuck about "allegedly"? Wake me up when there's an actual story.

He should've gone with that angle after the sieg heils. "Sorry bros, my bad, I was just stoned off my monstrously deformed and hideously botched nuts".
No surprise there. It's good is being called out.
No AI is gonna out hallucinate me!
Hopefully he’ll OD in a pool or something!
I hope he has bladder cysts...big ones
