In a jaw-dropping twist that has the internet buzzing, newly unearthed footage of Elon Musk has surfaced — and fans are losing their minds.

The tech billionaire, Tesla CEO, and self-declared meme lord appears completely out of it in the video. Slouched in his chair, eyes half-closed, and giggling at seemingly nothing, Musk gives off major “high as hell” energy. The clip, reportedly filmed years ago but only now going viral, has ignited a firestorm of reactions, theories, and memes.

So, what’s the deal? Was Musk really that lit? And where did this footage even come from?

The Origins of the Clip: A Blast From the (Smoky) Past

Internet detectives quickly traced the source back to Elon’s infamous 2018 appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. Yes — that episode. The one where Rogan casually handed Musk a joint, and the billionaire took a now-iconic puff, staring into the void like he just saw a Tesla land on Mars.

At the time, the moment sparked everything from stock drops to a million memes. But the newly circulated clip shows unedited backstage footage that never made it into the final cut — and it’s… intense.

Musk appears far more affected than fans remember. He’s mumbling about simulation theory, intergalactic travel, and something about putting memes into brain chips. It’s Elon, but not as we know him.

Fans React: “Bro’s on Mars Already”

As soon as the clip hit social media, reactions flooded in:

“Elon didn’t just get high. He astral projected.”

“He unlocked level 7 consciousness and started talking to Tesla’s ghost.”

Others are more concerned, calling the footage “disturbing” and questioning how someone in charge of rockets and self-driving cars could be allowed to casually blaze up.

But for long-time fans? This is peak Elon.

“He’s just vibing on a higher frequency,” one Redditor wrote. “Let the man explore the multiverse in peace.”

Was He Really That High? Experts Weigh In

We asked a neuroscientist (and a few guys at your local skatepark) whether Musk looked genuinely impaired or just lost in deep thought. The consensus? Probably both.

“Elon’s brain runs at a speed most of us can’t comprehend,” said Dr. Lena Park, a cognitive scientist. “Add THC to that? You’re going to get galaxy brain takes in real time.”

Damage Control or Just Another Tuesday?

Tesla and SpaceX have declined to comment, and Musk himself has only responded with a meme of a raccoon holding a bong, captioned:

“Me thinking about colonizing Jupiter.”

Classic Musk.

 

Conclusion: Is Elon Musk High, or Just High-Level Thinking?

Whether you find the video hilarious, troubling, or just classic internet chaos, one thing’s clear: Elon Musk exists in a reality the rest of us are only visiting. High or not, he continues to be one of the most unpredictable minds of our time — and apparently, one of the most memeable.

One thing’s for sure — the internet isn’t letting this one go anytime soon.
