Musk Allegedly Mixed Acid With Twitter, Plaintiff’s Bar Drools

Twitter makes people crazy. So does LSD. Trippin’ and tweetin’ is probably a bad idea for anyone, but when the tweets concern phantom investors and the strategic plans of a publicly traded enterprise, cooler heads stand to make a lot of money. That appears to be what happened when Elon Musk’s tweetstorm caused stock in his company, Tesla Motors, to tank. Short sellers pocketed about $1 billion, and plaintiffs’ firms began drawing up plans for class action lawsuits. The mega-bummer happened over the weekend of Aug. 10, at Musk’s Los Angeles home. His girlfriend, the Canadian musician known as Grimes, was there, and so was the rapper Azealia Amanda Banks, singer, songwriter, and actress. Grimes and Banks were planning to discuss a collaborative project, but they never got together. “I waited around all weekend while Grimes coddled her boyfriend for being too stupid to know not to go on Twitter while on acid,” said Banks. Musk told the website Gizmodo that he had never met Banks or communicated with her in any way. Banks used Instagram to tell her story.
