Musk slams New York Times after report on alleged drug use

  • On Saturday, Elon Musk dismissed the New York Times' report from the previous day alleging that he frequently used ketamine and other substances during the 2024 election period.
  • The report followed Musk's role as a billionaire adviser to President Donald Trump, who took office in January, and Musk's recent farewell appearance ending his leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency .
  • At the Oval Office farewell on Friday, Musk sported a noticeable black eye, which he explained as an injury from horsing around with his son X, who he told to hit him in the face.
  • Musk posted on X, "To be clear, I am NOT taking drugs!" and called the Times report false, adding he was prescribed ketamine years ago for a 'negative frame of mind' and suggested drug use benefited his work.
  • Trump responded to a reporter's Friday question about Musk's 'regular drug use' by saying, "I wasn't" aware and calling Musk a 'fantastic guy,' while the report's drug claims and Musk's injury attracted substantial attention.
