In a startling new report, it has come to light that Elon Musk, the tech mogul and one of the most significant figures in former President Donald Trump’s inner circle, was purportedly using drugs on a much larger and more serious scale than previously understood during the tumultuous 2024 campaign trail. According to the New York Times, Musk's alleged substance use included excessive amounts of ketamine, a powerful anesthetic that, in this case, reportedly led to damage to his bladder. In addition, he is said to have frequently consumed ecstasy and magic mushrooms, raising concerns about his mental and physical health.

The report further details that Musk often carried a box containing approximately 20 pills, which included Adderall, a prescription medication typically used to treat ADHD. This revelation paints a troubling picture of a man who has long been scrutinized for his erratic behavior, particularly in recent years. Photographic evidence reviewed by The Times and other outlets confirms the existence of this pill box, fueling speculation about Musk’s well-being.

Despite the serious nature of these allegations, it remains uncertain whether Musk continued to partake in this extreme cocktail of drugs while he was serving as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency during Trump’s second term. However, numerous reports indicate that Musk has continued to exhibit erratic behavior, including an incident where he allegedly gave a Nazi salute at a January inauguration event and displayed frantic and disjointed behavior during interviews and public appearances.

These claims of drug use coincided with a challenging personal period for Musk, marked by public disputes with his estranged children and the surprising revelation of previously unknown offspring. Musk, who has openly acknowledged using small amounts of prescribed ketamine to manage mental health issues, seemed to contradict the extent of his drug use as reported. “If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work,” Musk said in a March 2024 interview with former CNN anchor Don Lemon.

However, sources close to Musk allege that his use of ketamine was not just occasional but rather nearly daily, often mixed with recreational drugs. It is claimed that Musk confided in friends about the damaging effects of his frequent ketamine use, which aligns with known side effects experienced by heavy users of the drug. This admission appears to have surfaced around the time Musk publicly endorsed Trump for president in July 2024.

In addition to ketamine, the report suggests that Musk experimented with ecstasy and magic mushrooms at various private gatherings across the United States and at least once during an event overseas. Alarmingly, according to The Times, Musk was reportedly informed in advance about random drug testing sessions at SpaceX, his aerospace company, which indicates a level of awareness and concern regarding his substance use.

Previous admissions regarding his use of ketamine have been made by Musk; however, they do not match the alarming scope detailed in this report. “Elon has pushed the boundaries of his bad behavior more and more,” stated Philip Low, a neuroscientist and former friend of Musk, highlighting a troubling trend in Musk’s behavior.

The explosive details of Musk’s alleged drug use emerged just as he and Trump were set to appear together at a press conference on Friday, where Musk was expected to officially announce his departure from his federal role in cost-cutting initiatives. As a “special government employee,” Musk is required to step down after 130 days, with the deadline for this resignation looming on May 30.
