A bunch of empty suits had a wobble Saturday about billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s recreational drug use.

Unnamed executives and board members at Musk’s various companies have apparently voiced concerns over how his recreational drug use influences his behavior, according to The Wall Street Journal. Musk stands accused of using LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, cannabis and ketamine at private parties around the world.

The “revelation” might mean Musk is in violation of federal policies that would jeopardize his government contracts with SpaceX. (RELATED: Elon Musk Vibing To Rufus Du Sol Is Required Viewing)

But I’d personally bet the execs, board members, and probably their offspring have done the same, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about Musk Man Bad, and drugs are the latest tool being used to try and destroy his reputation, which raises the question: have any of the people complaining about his behavior (or anyone at the WSJ) done anything comparable to Musk with their careers?

No. So, what does that say about how useless their abilities are?

I’m not saying I’m endorsing any of these substances, but if the claims made by these executives and board members are true, it actually makes them look pretty useless by comparison. A dude who does ketamine at Art Basel, apparently, is more successful than them. He’s literally the reason they have any relevance. How embarrassing for them!

Thankfully, no one in real America seems to care about Musk’s recreational activities. He’s not standing for election, or asking us for anything, so why would we? The WSJ’s framing of this story makes them look like the anti-Musk propaganda arm of the globalist elites. (RELATED: ‘Rape Office’: Elon Musk Hammers NBC’s Many Scandals)

Also, why does anyone even care about this? Elon Musk isn’t even a billionaire in real life. He’s a billionaire on paper, just like most U.S. and European elites, but he doesn’t actually have access to a billion dollars. If he were to liquidate his assets currently valued at a billion dollars, such as shares and things like that, all of the value would disappear within days, maybe hours.

So how about we stop worrying about hypothetical billionaires’ private lives (unless they were spent around child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his cronies or building apocalypse bunkers), and start worrying about the actual crises facing our nation. Some examples include: the economy, the housing market, medicine, food supplies, infrastructure, and the general threat of total and utter collapse.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
