In August 2018, Elon Musk shocked Tesla shareholders when he tweeted about "considering" taking the company private. Now, a The Wall Street Journal report has revealed some Tesla board members privately worried Musk might have been on drugs when tweeting that. Musk, Tesla's chairman at that time, tweeted, "considering taking Tesla private at $420"—420 is cannabis culture slang for marijuana. The tweet surprised board members and led to concerns about Musk's drug use, sources familiar with the matter told WSJ.
