WASHINGTON: Elon Musk recently shared a candid photo of his nightstand filled with Diet Coke, humorously admitting to a “drinking problem.” According to a report published in hindustantimes.com, Musk revealed an unusual “problem” in his personal life on his social media platform X.
The Tesla boss shared a photo of his nightstand, which was cluttered with cans of Diet Coke. This candid snapshot also showed a pair of black boots positioned beside his bed and a set of headphones resting on the nightstand. “I have a drinking problem,” Musk captioned the post.
Musk’s admission, said the website report, has drawn widespread attention, with many poking fun at his preference for the soda, which contains the controversial artificial sweetener aspartame.
Aspartame, a common ingredient in diet sodas, has been associated with potential health risks. According to the World Health Organisation, longterm consumption of aspartame may impact metabolism and has possible links to stroke and dementia.
In July 2023, the organisation also classified aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Netizens were quick to share their thoughts on Musk’s drinking habits One user, @jonny33baseball, quipped, “I’m no expert but maybe you’d listen to @ grok. Drinking that much aspartame is going to get you to the opposite of space.
Have you tried squeezing lemons in water?” “Ewwww the walls are dirty! And what’s the big vase is it a broken light? And the bed sheets are not taught and tight. And is it some kind of pre-fab type unit why does it have beading up the wall in the corner? And you didn’t line your boots up properly,” another user posted, to which one user replied, “im pretty sure he still lives in his $50k tiny home, if he wanted everything to be perfect he would have it that way.”
