Elon Musk sipped whiskey and smoked marijuana during a 2 1/2-hour podcast with California comedian Joe Rogan that touched upon everything from flame throwers and artificial intelligence to the end of the universe.
Im not a regular smoker of weed, the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer said late Thursday on the podcast, which was shown live on the internet. Musk, 47, took one drag from what Rogan described as a joint containing tobacco mixed with marijuana, which is legal in California.
A Tesla spokesperson in Germany wasnt immediately available to comment. Shares of the carmaker fell 1.4 percent in trading before U.S. exchanges opened.
The spot on one of the most popular podcasts in the U.S. marks Musks first appearance in a public forum since he stunned the financial world last month with his short-lived effort to take Tesla private. Just 17 days after tweeting that he had the funding and investor support secured to buy out some stockholders at $420 a share, the billionaire scrapped the idea without having made a formal proposal to the board.
Along the way, Musk drew a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission, which already had been scrutinizing the public pronouncements hes made regarding manufacturing goals and sales targets. Tesla and its CEO are now also facing a litany of lawsuits claiming market manipulation, including one filed Thursday by Andrew Left, the founder of Citron Research and prominent short seller.

Surely this mixing of tobacco and marijuana isn't a common thing is it? Can't wrap my mind around

Inhaling tobacco the same way I would inhale marijuana or vice versa.

"spliff" is sometimes used to describe such a horror. "Blunts" are small tobacco cigars, with the core replaced with weed. The English are known to smoke hashish cut up into tobacco - heresy!
