I don't personally disagree with that but CEOs are the public face of a company and he's running an American company where there is still stigma against marijuana. It does not show good judgment on his part.

I question whether there's actually a stigma. I mean, it's legal in ten states.

Anything illegal in 40 states likely has an actual stigma.

Obviously its not stigmatized enough to dissuade Elon from publicizing his use of weed. I'd say partaking in marijuana is more acceptable in those 40 states than being non-straight based my own experience.

is it hard to say what "good" judgement is?
one person might think it's bad judgement to be on a podcast that talks about psychedelics, conspiracy, and weed...
another might think it's bad judgement to do business with folks who don't practice sharia law.
from my perspective, I'm super glad that Elon's out there sticking both his middle fingers up at the establishment. Even if it's just for the sake of perception control or stock market philandering, i am grateful somebody is doing it so publicly.
