Elon Musk believes sugar is not 'poison', reveals he eats donuts daily but is still healthy

Elon Musk has revealed his disagreement with the popular notion that sugar is unhealthy. This came about when Peter Diamandis, Executive Chairperson of the X Prize Foundation, took to Twitter to call sugar 'poison'. Without wasting any time, Musk replied to Diamandis' post, stating that he eats a donut every morning and is still alive, implying that sugar is not as harmful as some might believe.

The conversation between the two continued, with Diamandis reframing his claim to say that sugar is a "slow poison." The debate prompted a range of reactions from Twitter users, with some advocating for moderation and others agreeing with Elon Musk’s claims.




As one user jokingly suggested that a donut a day keeps the doctor away, another user claimed that he donuts for his workout gains.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk has recently valued Twitter at $20 billion, less than half of the $44 billion he paid for the platform just five months ago, according to an internal email. Musk has introduced a new stock compensation program in Twitter's parent company, X Holdings, and is allocating shares to Twitter employees.

Musk also revealed that Twitter would allow its employees to cash in their shares every six months. In the email, Musk describes the contraction in Twitter's value and stated that it is on the verge of bankruptcy and saw a revenue drop of $1.5 billion a year and a debt-servicing burden of the same amount.

However, Musk is optimistic that the company will break even in the second quarter of the year and has a "clear but difficult path" to a valuation of $250 billion.
