A report recently alleged that Tesla CEO Elon Musk “had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily” impacting his bladder. The report by New York Times claimed that the tech billionaire travels with a daily pill box containing around 20 different medications. Responding to the news, Musk has denied the allegations, stating “I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off.” In an X (formerly Twitter) post, Musk further states that he has ‘tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago” and revealed about the same on X then.
Elon Musk denies report on drug abuse
In his post, Musk wrote:
“Also, to be clear, I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off.
I tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago and said so on 𝕏, so this not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven’t taken it since then.”
Musk’s black eye raises eyebrows
Elon Musk avoided answering questions about his drug use during a farewell press conference with President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday. He had a noticeable black eye as he officially stepped down from his role as Trump’s top cost-cutter at DOGE, a government program that cut thousands of federal jobs.
The black eye caught public attention because it came just after a news report claimed Musk regularly uses drugs. The report also mentioned past odd behavior, including Musk giving a Nazi-style salute last year.
When asked about the injury, Musk said he got it while playing with his young son, X.
"I told my son to punch me in the face," Musk said.
"And he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually is..." he added, trailing off.
😂💯
