Ketamine was one of the many topics discussed in a contentious interview released this week between former CNN host Don Lemon and billionaire X owner Elon Musk.
Lemon’s hour-long interview with Musk was released Monday for for the debut of “The Don Lemon Show” on X. After the interview, Lemon, who was fired by CNN in 2023, revealed that Musk decided to cancel a partnership between his show and X.
Early in the interview, Lemon asked Musk if he was “sober” when he posts “controversial stuff” on X. Lemon also questioned Musk on his use of ketamine to treat depression.
“It’s pretty private to ask somebody about a medical prescription,” Musk replied, saying ketamine is helpful for getting him out of a “negative frame of mind.”
Lemon followed up by asking Musk if he ever abuses ketamine. Musk denied doing so and said he takes a “small amount once every other week.”
Musk is not the only celebrity who has used ketamine. Actor Matthew Perry was using ketamine under the care of a physician for the treatment of depression, although the levels of ketamine in his system at the time of his death in October weren’t related to his last infusion. Other celebrities who have used the substance include Chrissy Teigen and Sharon Osborne.
