Tuesday, June 17, 2025 -Elon Musk has released the results of a recent drug test in response to a bombshell report alleging he used a combination of illicit substances during his time advising former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The report, published by The New York Times, claimed Musk
frequently used drugs such as ketamine, ecstasy, cocaine, and psychedelic
mushrooms while serving as head of the Department of Government Efficiency
under the Trump administration.
The article alleged Musk consumed ketamine so often it
caused bladder issues and that he regularly traveled with a personal supply of
20 pills. His alleged drug use was said to have intensified as his political
influence grew and after he donated at least $275 million to Trump’s
presidential campaign.
Musk has consistently denied the claims, previously stating: “If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work.”
To counter the allegations, Musk shared the results of a
recent urine test on his X (formerly Twitter) account. The test, conducted at
Fastest Labs of South Austin, reportedly screened for substances including
ketamine, cocaine, fentanyl, and amphetamines — all of which returned negative
results.
The post was accompanied by a simple caption: “lol.”
Musk’s release of the drug test comes amid ongoing tensions
with Trump. Their once-strong alliance has fractured in recent months,
following a series of controversial social media exchanges. At one point, Musk
implied Trump had ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — a claim he
later walked back, admitting he “went too far.”
Musk has also taken public swipes at Trump’s legislative
initiatives, calling the former president’s signature tax and spending
legislation a “disgusting abomination” and warning it would impose a
significant burden on American taxpayers.
In response, Trump criticised Musk from the Oval Office,
expressing disappointment and distancing himself from the tech billionaire. The
fallout triggered a sharp market reaction, with Tesla shares plummeting over
14% — wiping an estimated $150 billion from the company’s valuation and costing
Musk roughly $20 billion in personal wealth.
In a final jab, Musk said: “Without me, Trump would have
lost the election. Such ingratitude.”
