Musk said the marijuana incident was endless: had to undergo random drug tests to prove that he was not an addict

Musk said he didn’t expect so much backlash when he smoked marijuana.

He said he did all kinds of drug tests, and “for me and SpaceX, it was actually bad.” He added that the entire company had to do random drug tests after the fact.

Musk said marijuana is still illegal under U.S. federal law, and that he was drug tested by authorities because SpaceX has a contract with the federal government.

Musk said the tests were spurred by complaints from competitors who were upset by his “brazen” behavior.

The millionaire said he didn’t expect so much backlash when he smoked marijuana.

Musk’s behavior of smoking marijuana on the live show “furious” some NASA executives, prompting NASA to assess SpaceX’s “culture.”
