Elon Musk has fired back at allegations of drug use, calling claims from The New York Times outright false. In a direct response, Musk stated that he is one of the most photographed people on Earth and spends his time in meetings with a wide array of individuals seven days a week. He emphasized that accusations of drug use are baseless, pointing to three years of random drug testing following his single puff on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
The controversy stems from a report alleging Musk’s frequent ketamine use, along with other substances. Musk dismissed the claims, reiterating that not a single trace of drugs or alcohol was ever found during his testing period. He also took aim at The New York Times, stating that the publication has zero credibility on fiscal matters or personal attacks.
Musk’s transparency about prescription ketamine use years ago has been well-documented. He previously explained that a small amount was prescribed by a doctor to manage depressive episodes. However, he has maintained that his efficiency in cutting bureaucratic waste through DOGEai remains unmatched.
While media outlets focus on personal controversies, Musk has shifted attention to real economic concerns. He highlighted the $2.4 trillion added to the deficit due to reckless spending, pointing to government agencies burning cash on failed projects. His stance remains clear—accountability should begin with audits, not tabloid theatrics.
