Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is often in the news for his tweets. His latest was a poll that asked his followers to choose between Benadryl Spiders and DMT Machine Elves. However, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has since deleted the tweet, but has replied to one user who posted an image of how different drugs affect the ability of spiders to construct their webs. Musk replied saying that the effect of caffeine is the worst of them all. Check out the exchange right here:
Caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive drug in the world, but is not considered addictive. The drug stimulates the central nervous system and helps boost performance, awareness, and cognitive skills. However, people suffering from Parkinson’s disease or other anxiety disorders are advised by experts to avoid caffeine as much as possible.

In the poll that Musk put out between Benadryl Spiders and DMT Machine Elves, the latter came out as the winner with 69% of the votes. Notably, many people have reported seeing alien-like elves during their DMT ((N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) hallucinations.
Benadryl made headlines in 2020 when a TikTok user created the Benadryl challenge, asking people to consume the drug in large amounts in order to experience hallucinations. A number of people, including some underaged teens, had to be hospitalized after participating in the challenge. One 15-year-old girl called Chloe Marie Phillips, an Oklahoma resident, even died after taking part in the challenge.

Musk, notably, received flak on social media when he smoked a marijuana blunt with podcast host Joe Rogan in 2018. In the same year, he also said in a New York Times interview that he had smoked marijuana before tweeting that he wanted to make Tesla a private limited company. However, the tycoon quickly backtracked on his plans after being criticized by investors for his comments.
