Elon Musk dominated headlines for weeks in the days after he took over as CEO of Twitter.

Things have been on the quieter side for the past few weeks. Though, Elon Musk has managed to anger many Twitter Blue subscribers after jacking up the price. This, of course, is all happening after Elon Musk agreed to step down if a Twitter poll said he should but he’s yet to step down despite millions voting him out.

Elon’s Twitter activity is gone over with a fine tooth comb every day. He has 125.2 million followers, most of which are bots, but his Twitter activity reaches a LOT more people than his followers because Elon Musk’s tweets are suggested to everyone.

He recently responded to a tweet that shows a screenshot from reddit about Rod Stewart’s unique cocaine habit. This ultimately led a lot of people to learning about how Rod Stewart used to take his cocaine anally in order to preserve his singing voice.

In his 2012 book, Rod: The Autobiography, Rod Stewart revealed his unique method of taking cocaine. Here’s a 2012 excerpt from Spin magazine:

Worried about the effects of cocaine on his nasal passages, and thus his voice, Stewart partakes of the drug in an unorthodox manner. “So we started buying anticold capsules from the chemist’s, separating the two halves of the capsules, replacing their contents with a pinch of cocaine, and then taking the capsules anally, where, of course, the human body being a wonderful thing, they would dissolve effortlessly into the system.”

Rod Stewart is 78-years-old and still performing occasionally. He has managed to keep his voice intact for decades longer than his contemporaries.

Obviously, this should not ever be attempted by anyone, ever, at all. Drugs are bad, mmkay.
