Not illegal in California – where the podcast is shot – but probably not a good idea when Tesla company policy involves drug testing and Musk himself is in the middle of seemingly endless controversies. Obviously more important than Tesla’s stock plummet, though, are the stellar memes Elon’s tiny toke has spawned, a good selection of which we've collected below. Emphasis, as you might expect when the jokes revolve around a 47 year old man tentatively trying weed, is on how uncool Musk looks in the video.

Other posts have poked fun at how, despite everyone kicking up such a fuss, the Musk wasn’t even doing anything all that ‘edgy’. As mentioned earlier, weed is completely legal in California.
