World’s richest man allegedly mixed drugs including ecstasy and mushrooms • Carried pill box with 20 tablets including Adderall-type stimulants • Musk erupts in Oval Office when questioned: ‘New York Times lying!’ • Trump says ‘I think he’s FANTASTIC’ despite drug use revelations
Explosive allegations have emerged claiming Elon Musk was using ketamine on an almost daily basis while becoming Donald Trump’s right-hand man during the 2024 presidential campaign, with sources telling The New York Times the drug use was so extreme it damaged his bladder.
The world’s richest man allegedly mixed the powerful anesthetic with ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms in a cocktail of substances that left friends and associates deeply worried about his health and behavior, according to the bombshell report.
Sources described how the 53-year-old Tesla CEO traveled with a daily medication box containing approximately 20 pills, including what appeared to be Adderall, as he crisscrossed America stumping for Trump and pouring hundreds of millions into the Republican’s campaign.
The shocking revelations emerged just as Musk was preparing to exit his controversial role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after a tumultuous tenure slashing federal jobs and contracts.
BLADDER DAMAGE FROM CHRONIC USE
The Times reports paint a disturbing picture of substance abuse spiraling out of control:
The Times paints a picture of a man caught in an erratic cycle of substance abuse and family drama. While Musk has previously spoken of using ketamine as a scheduled prescription treatment for depression, sources who spoke to the Times say his use of the anesthetic was frequent — almost daily —and regularly in combination with other drugs
The most alarming claim centers on physical damage from the drug use:
He reportedly told people he was taking so much ketamine, ‘it was affecting his bladder,’ the Times reports, noting that this is a ‘known effect of chronic use.’
Medical experts confirm chronic ketamine abuse can cause severe urinary problems:
“Studies have shown that frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to a condition known as ‘ketamine-induced cystitis,’ or inflammation of the bladder and urinary tract”
PILL BOX WITH 20 TABLETS
The extent of Musk’s alleged pharmaceutical arsenal shocked those around him:
Musk is also said to have carried a box around with him, which normally contained around 20 pills, including Adderall, according to a photo seen by The Times and others
The report details a man whose drug consumption had spiraled far beyond his previous admissions:
“The Times found he had ‘developed a far more serious habit’ and people familiar with his drug use said he was taking it often, sometimes daily and mixing it with other drugs
MIXING RECREATIONAL AND ‘MEDICAL’ USE
Sources paint a picture of blurred boundaries between treatment and recreation:
‘The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him,’ the Times reported
The substances allegedly consumed included:
- Ketamine (almost daily)
- Ecstasy/MDMA
- Psychedelic mushrooms
- Adderall-type stimulants
- Ambien
- Various other prescription medications
OVAL OFFICE ERUPTION
When confronted about the allegations during his farewell appearance in the Oval Office on Friday, Musk lashed out at reporters:
“The New York Times? Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate? Is it the same organization? I think it is… Let’s move on.”
Musk interrupted the reporter and questioned the credibility of The Times before saying ‘let’s move on.’
TRUMP STANDS BY HIS MAN
Despite the shocking allegations, President Trump remained supportive when asked about the report:
“‘I think he’s fantastic. I think Elon is a fantastic guy, and — I’m not troubled by anything with Elon. I think he’s fantastic,’ Trump responded when asked if he was aware of a New York Times report”
Trump claimed ignorance of any drug issues:
President Donald Trump told reporters tonight that he was not aware of Elon Musk’s alleged drug use
MUSK’S FURIOUS DENIAL
Taking to his social media platform X on Saturday, Musk erupted in a series of posts denying the allegations:
“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”
He added: “I’m not on ketamine ffs”
