  • Elon Musk took a drag on a joint during his interview
    with former UFC commentator Joe Rogan.
  • Rogan lit up first and then offered the joint to
    Musk.
  • Marijuana is legal for medical and recreational use in
    California, where the interview took place.
  • Musk said last month that he is no fan of marijuana,
    arguing that it kills productivity.

Elon Musk took a drag on a fat joint while being interviewed
on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast on Thursday
.

Musk spoke to Rogan for more than two-and-a-half hours, in the
latter stages of which the presenter offered Tesla’s CEO a drag
on the joint, which was rolled with tobacco.

The exchange began when Rogan told Musk about a small container
he bought in Mexico which he hoped would hold joints. He then
took out a large joint and lit up.

“Is that a joint or is it a cigar?” Musk asked. “It’s marijuana
inside of tobacco,” said Rogan, and asked if Musk had ever had
it. “Yeah I think I tried one once,” replied Musk. “Come on,
man,” said Rogan as Musk laughed.

“You probably can’t [take a drag] because of stockholders,
right?” Rogan said. “I mean it’s legal, right?” said Musk before
taking a drag. 

Marijuana is legal for medical and recreational use in
California, where the interview took place. The two men then
drank whisky, and Musk pointed out that alcohol is also a drug.

It’s not the first time Musk has been asked about weed in recent
weeks.

Some people speculated that he was high when tweeted he was
considering taking Tesla private, because he proposed $420 a
share, and
April 20 or 4/20 is a reference to weed
. In an interview with
the New York Times, Musk
denied he had smoked weed when he tweeted.

He told the newspaper that he is no fan of the drug. “Weed is not
helpful for productivity. There’s a reason for the word ‘stoned.’
You just sit there like a stone on weed,” he said.
