A new report claims Elon Musk used heavy drugs during his time as a Trump insider, raising concerns in the White House and contributing to his fallout with key figures.
Elon Musk’s alleged drug use while working closely with former President Donald Trump has sparked alarm within Trump’s inner circle, according to a report by The New York Times. The tech billionaire is said to have frequently used ketamine, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms—reportedly carrying a pill box of Adderall and taking so much ketamine that it damaged his bladder.
“It was a very good choice for him to step back,” said one official, referencing Musk’s departure from his government efficiency role. Sources say Musk’s behavior became erratic, with late-night food raids at the White House and clashes with Cabinet members, including a reported shouting match with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Despite publicly stating he used ketamine in moderation, insiders claim Musk’s use was nearly daily. “Elon has pushed the boundaries of his bad behavior more and more,” said neuroscientist Philip Low. Musk was due to exit his official government role on May 30, after reaching the 130-day term limit.
