Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.

"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.

"Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."

Gotcha ;) by technically, are you obliquely saying "vyvanse" or literally straight dex?

I think it's a generic, but I know she's cycled through a variety to find one that helps the most.

U didnt answer ? Why did u say technically? Is is straightup dextroamphetamine or are you implying its lisdexamfetamine --> ipso facto dextroamphetamine or whatever
