Elon Musk's took exactly one fateful puff of cannabis four years ago, and apparently paid the price via a year of drug testing.

Y'all remember 2014? The Democrats were going to have the White House forever, everyone couldn't stop doing the Ice Bucket Challenge and the Nae Nae, and J.K. Simmons was our pre-eminent thespian?

It was also the year of the tiny home, and in Texas, a man known as Professor Dumpster was its foremost proponent, living inside a converted trash receptacle for a year. He and his collection of bowties became famous-ish — and infamous — as the nation started to take the heat death of the planet somewhat seriously. Could tiny homes save the ice caps, and such?

The movement faded into obscurity shortly after ... except, maybe it didn't? Elon Musk, entrepreneur, sex-haver (or not?), and couch surfer mentioned earlier this year that he "didn't have a permanent residence." On a recent episode of the Full Send podcast, a right-leaning show, Musk mentioned a few things: he addressed the dustup with his father (more on that later), said that he was regularly drug tested after smoking on that loud pack on Joe Rogan's show in 2018 (ditto), and provided details on his living situation. 

He told the hosts that he lives in a $45,000 tiny home half a mile from the SpaceX facility in Boca Chica, in the Rio Grande Valley, and that it cost "less than a Boxabl," referring to the company that sells pre-fabricated tiny homes that are under 400 square-feet in size. The company posted in June that he lives in a Boxabl Casita, but Musk refuted that. Musk's South Texas home is apparently between 800-900 square-feet, nearly double the size of my last apartment in Brooklyn, but that's neither here nor there. The world's richest man could afford the largest of Pemberton mansions if he wanted, but apparently, this is part of a plan to offload most of his real estate. And here I thought that real estate was a good investment, particularly here in Texas. That's why the man is a billionaire.

Last week I detailed the absolute ethering that Musk's father, Errol, gave his eldest son. Of particular interest was Errol's pushing diet pills on the boy. On the podcast, Musk responded that he didn't like working out, but would have to, simultaneously capitulating to his father's craven body shaming and proving that he doesn't lack the grindset mentality.

“I’m gonna switch from looking at my phone first thing when I wake up to working out for at least 20 minutes then looking at my phone," Musk said on Full Send. Fellow Texan Ryan Holliday would be proud, particularly if he could up that to an hour-plus.

While we're strolling down memory lane, remember that image of Musk smoking big doinks on the Joe Rogan Experience in 2018? It's up top, but here's another one:

Musk says he was tested for a year after his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, blaming his competitors.

Musk told the Full Send folks that after taking "one hit" — sure, my mom believed that excuse in the late 90s — he was drug tested "for everything" for a year. SpaceX has government contracts and weed, while legal in the state in which he smoked exactly one hit, is federally illegal. Turns out the feds watch Rogan, right? Well, Musk blamed his competitors complaining to the authorities for the reason he had to pee in a cup for a while. Narcs are everywhere, man. Godspeed.
