In ateaserfor an forthcoming 60 Minutes section , Elon Musk told oldtimer CBS journalist Leslie Stahl : Weed ? Who ? Never heard of him .
Stahl , in poke into Musk about his many foible in the preceding twelvemonth — which include accusing a deliverance loon of being a pedophile , vacating his spot as president of Tesla , and being accuse of marriage - bust — asked roundly , “ what about the pot ? ”
“ I do not fume mountain . As anybody who watched that podcast could tell , I have no musical theme how to smoke stool , or anything , ” Musk told Stahl , look up to his invitee appearance on episode 1169 of the Joe Rogan Experience , “ I do n’t roll in the hay how to smoke anything , aboveboard . ”
Is it potential the bozo who is presently being enquire by NASA for smoking pot publically , and who tweet the only known sens joke to generate a pseudo charge … knows absolutely nothing about grass ?
Musk denied being bake at the time of the ill-famed “ financial backing secured ” tweet to the New York Times , read “ Weed is not helpful for productiveness . There ’s a reason for the word of honor ‘ pit . ’ You just ride there like a stone on weed . ” You know , the way someone who has dead never been high would draw it .
In rewatching the footage of the podcast , Musk seems largely confused by the concept , inquire Rogan “ So is that a joint ? Or is it a cigar ? ” When Rogan explains it ’s a combination of marijuana and tobacco ( Elon , if you ’re read , we call that a “ spliff ” ) , he react , “ I think I tried one once ” before proceeding to take one hit without inhale .
I ’m not peculiarly concerned in excrete judgement on anyone ’s drug use or deficiency thereof , Musk included . But I consider him that he in truth is clueless when it comes to smoking pot — which make it that much sadder he lost $ 20 million and the chairmanship of his electric machine company over it .
The full audience will air on Sunday to the over-65 demographic , where he in all probability wo n’t say anything else interesting but countless grandkids across the nation will be pull to explain over the holidays who “ Elam Monk ” is .
