Musk was recently on the ‘Full Send Podcast’ where he spoke about the backlash he received. He said, “I did get a lot of backlash. Because it’s like still federally illegal.”

“So I had to like random drug test and stuff after that to prove that I am not like a drug addict.”

“The federal government. Because like SpaceX has federal covered contracts so and it’s still illegal federally. So like the SpaceX, you know, competitors were like ‘hey, look at you, why aren’t you doing anything?’… smoking, just like brazenly smoking weed on Joe Rogan’s podcast.”

“Ya, they drug tested me for everything… randomly… . It wasn’t like, you know, big pick a day, it was …. oh, your random drug test.”
