Elon Musk says he came under the government’s microscope after smoking weed with Joe Rogan … claiming the feds randomly drug tested him. The world’s richest man sat down for a podcast Tuesday with the Nelk Boys and John Shahidi, recalling the backlash he got from Uncle Sam for what he says was a mean rip from a blunt during Rogan’s show. Play Video Content SEPTEMBER 2018 Joe Rogan Experience Remember, Elon had it out with Joe back in September 2018, pulling the trigger on camera while talking about Tesla’s plans for an airplane. The video went viral, and Tesla’s stock plummeted on the heels of the smoke. Elon says the federal response was “pretty crazy” … explaining that the problem is that marijuana is still illegal federally, and because he runs SpaceX — which has lucrative government contracts — the feds investigated him for a series illegal drugs. Interestingly… Elon claims that the real driving force behind the random drug tests were his competitors at SpaceX, who he says pressured the feds into testing his urine. Elon’s sit-down with the Nelk Boys featured a tough seltzer, but he won’t have to worry about the feds coming after him because of alcohol.
