Answer 1

Official press release statement will as as follows:

To : The press and news agencies

Date: 23/10/2019

Subject: Regarding the Mr. Elon Musk smoking marijuana and sipping whiskey along with it.

I would like to say  on behalf of Mr. Elon Musk that Mr. Elon Musk have never consumed Marijuana as a drug before this event and he still suggest people take a medical advice before its medicinal use even if It is legalized. Further, I would like to say:

1. That, Mr. Elon Musk took Marijuana after confirming its legality in the state of California at the behest of the Joe Rogan, a podcast organizer.
2. That, Mr. Elon Musk does not suggest anybody to do it to themselves regarding the consumption of marijuana unless it is medically suggested to them. Hence, this public impression in no mean is the validation of the use of marijuana.

3. That, Mr. Elon Musk also inquired about the whiskey, its legality before consuming at the set of the podcast and he did so to make then conversation to be in a friendly atmosphere.

4. That, Mr. Elon Musk strictly makes it a person choice and people should not consider it as an endorsement of Whiskey. Hence, people should take their decisions on their own conscience and legality in their state.

5. That, Mr. Elon Musk does not intend to make people inference about it and adopt in their daily practices.

Finally, Mr. Elon Musk is sorry for anybody, investors or society, if their feelings are hurt by this gesture at the set of the podcast.
