Excerpts from a new biography about the richest man in the world, titled “Elon Musk,” revealed that he suffered from a severe state of intoxication after drinking several shots of vodka during a business meeting in Moscow, to the point that he “lost consciousness,” according to what was published. The New York Post reviewed excerpts from the new book.
An evening in Paris

Distracted and torn
According to Elon Musk’s book, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post, Musk then arrived distracted and “torn” at a Moscow restaurant for a business lunch and to meet an unidentified Russian businessman.
Author Isaacson, who enjoyed close and unprecedented contact with the American billionaire who shadowed him for two years, wrote that Musk and his two partners, rocket engineer Jim Cantrell and venture capitalist Edu Risi, sat in a back room of the restaurant, where “small bites of food were served, interspersed with small doses.” “A large amount of vodka,” he said, adding that Musk mentioned to him that he had calculated and compared “the weight of the food and the vodka, and that they were almost equal.”
Isaacson added, “Musk, who was raising his head with his hand, lost consciousness, and his head hit the table.”

After the failure of the talks, Musk was forced to abandon the Mars Oasis project, the goal of which was to grow a plant in the soil of Mars as a propaganda means to boost interest in traveling to the planet. Musk then decided to build the space rocket himself instead of relying on the Russians or anyone else.

Liquor and narcotic tablets
Last summer, a shirtless Musk was spotted holding a glass of wine on a yacht off the coast of Mykonos, where he was celebrating his new friend, super agent Ari Emanuel, although he is not known to be obsessed with wine.
In 2017, Musk posted a tweet on the Twitter platform, which he acquired and rebranded as “X,” in which he said, “A little red wine, an old CD, and some… [أقراص] Ambien…and magic!
