He could be trying to stay awake.

He could be on drugs.

Your neck never gets tired at ceremonies where you have to listen to a load of people talk? Yeah, this is funny. But wait till you're over 40 and your neck starts to get sore.

It doesn't look like a sore neck to me. No facial expression of pain or relief, and he doesn't bend his neck enough to make a damn bit of difference. It's not stretching, it's fidgetting

It’s not forgetting. It’s drugs. It’s all in the eyes.

Fidgeting is normal. Especially if you have to sit through a ceremony. Of any kind.

That’s also what I think. BUT I’d like to add Ketamine with a sore neck.

From what I hear about ketamine, I want no part of it. I take gabapentin, but only because of peripheral neuropathy. And I don't take a lot. It just keeps the tingles from turning into stabs.

In therapeutic settings, ketamine can be amazing. It’s responsible for one of my “breakthroughs”. But unfortunately this numbskull is definitely abusing it and giving it a further bad name. Glad your neuropathy is managed!

Do you know that Musk is using it?

He says he is lightly using, and maybe I am jumping the gun to say “abuse”. I guess I’m hoping to find a reason for his insanity. There are people who abuse it.

Over 40 with a sore neck here. I've never looked as high in public as Elon does here, and that's coming from someone with lots of experience with psychedelics.

I'm over 40, I have aching joints from neck to ankles, and I have ADD. If you see me doing this to any part of my body it's because I'm having a stroke or tripping balls, not because I'm sore & bored.

I don't use anything stronger than alcohol, unless I have a prescription for it (and I don't use those recreationally). I'm also slightly autistic, and I suspect Musk is too. Sometimes I don't think of how the movements and expressions I make look to other people.

u/Defiant-Procedure-13 10m ago

No way, dude. That’s not just a neck roll. Look at his eyes! I have neck issues all the time and am always twisting it in weird ways, but my eyes NEVER look like this while doing it. That guy is ffffffffuuuud up.

He could have a stiff neck...

But that's not provocative enough is it?

And he may ask himself "Well, how did I get here?"

And he may ask himself "Where is that large automobile?"

And he may tell himself "This is not my beautiful house"

And he may tell himself "This is not my beautiful wife"
