Trump Addresses Elon Musk's Alleged Drug Use After Bombshell New York Times Report
HuffPost
The newspaper reported that Musk had been taking ketamine, ecstasy, mushrooms, Ambient, Adderall and other drugs while on the job.
President Donald Trump appears indifferent to the alleged drug use of one of his top advisers.
The New York Times reported Friday that Elon Musk was regularly consuming ketamine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, Ambient, Adderall and other drugs while on the campaign trail with Trump. The newspaper said it based its report on private messages it obtained, along with interviews with “more than a dozen people” who know Musk.
It’s unclear whether his drug use changed once he took his place at the helm of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, an initiative that has fired thousands of federal staffers and gutted key agencies under the stated aim of curbing wasteful spending. He officially left his role with DOGE earlier this week.
Trump appeared not to care about this when asked Friday by a reporter if the reported drug use troubled him.
“I’m not troubled by anything with Elon,” he said at the Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. “I think he’s fantastic. Did a great job. And, you know, DOGE continues. And by the time he’s finished, we’ll have numbers that’ll knock your socks off.”
