Elon Musk & Cannabis
One of the most influential CEOs in the world recently expressed his unambiguous support for cannabis by tweeting "420" – a message that resonated with Twitter users worldwide.
Moreover, Musk, CEO of Tesla, Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Twitter, has been asking the right questions to address the need for cannabis policy change.
Nearly three years ago, at the beginning of the pandemic, he tweeted the following "Selling weed literally went from major felony to essential business (open during a pandemic) in much of America & yet many are still in prison. Doesn't make sense, isn't right."
