Tesla shares sank on Friday, after the company’s chief accountant abruptly left the company — and its chief executive, Elon Musk, took a puff of marijuana on a Joe Rogan podcast.
“You probably can’t because of stockholders, right?” Rogan presciently asked Musk while handing him a tobacco and marijuana-filled cigar on Thursday.
“I mean, it’s legal, right?” Musk said, before taking a puff.
The move sent many on Twitter buzzing late on Thursday and early Friday. But in a two-and-a-half-hour podcast touching on an array of topics, from artificial intelligence to the future of humanity, Wall Street appears to have weeded out Musk’s smoking as a sign the entrepreneur is cracking.
