Elon Musk consumed drugs “much more intensely than those before”, while helping Donald Trump to campaign to return to the White House last year, The New York Times reported on Friday.
Musk took ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic fungi, reports the newspaper, adding that “drug use was going far beyond occasional use”, perhaps including the stimulant Adderall.
He would have told people he took so much ketamine: “It affected his bladder”, the Times reports, noting that it is a “known effect of chronic use”.
Drug consumption would have taken place while Musk was dealing with a drama in his relations with the mothers of his different children.
THE Times Claire Boucher, the musician known as Grimes and mother of three Musk children, jostling for the control of their 5 -year -old son, X. The child appeared alongside his father in the oval office and other high -level political events.
“Ms. Boucher complained in private that appearances violate a regulations in which she and Mr. Musk agreed to try to keep their children away from the public, according to people familiar with her concerns and the arrangement, which was not reported”, the Times writing. “She told people that she was worried about the boy’s safety and that the frequent privations of travel and sleep harm her health.”
THE Times Also said that it was “clear” if the controversial CEO Tesla and Spacex had taken drugs while participating in the second administration of Trump, including by directing his initiative of the Ministry of Effectiveness of the Government (DOGE).
By focusing on musk supporting Trump’s previous re -election effort, the Times said that interviews with initiates and private messages obtained by his journalists revealed that “some people who knew him were concerned about his frequent drug consumption, his mood swings and his fixation on having more children”.
Musk and his lawyer did not respond to requests for comments from the Times On his drug consumption and his personal life and the White House, the Times The reports did not answer questions to find out if Musk asked Musk to take drug tests.
However, after Times The article was published, the newspaper notes that the White House spokesman Harrison Fields published a statement with Musk to reduce government waste but has not commented on his drug use.
Musk has history consumption of recreational drugs, The Wall Street Journal reported last year.
During his darling seated with Don Lemon in March 2024, the old CNN anchor pushed him on his drug consumption. Musk said he had only taken “a small quantity” of ketamine, about once every two weeks, as prescribed for the moments when he had a “negative state of mind”.
“If you have used too much ketamine, you can’t really do work and I have a lot of work,” he said.
Time I noticed that he had “developed a much more serious habit” and familiar people with his drug use said he was taking it often, sometimes daily and mixed with other drugs.
“The border between medical use and leisure was blurred, disturbing some people near him”, Times reported.
Musk also paid his own money into Trump’s re -election campaign. The owner of SpaceX at some point has apparently committed to a donation of $ 45 million a month to support Trump, although he then denied having made this commitment. He then began to channel his money in a pro-Trump political action committee, AmericaPac.
The political turn to the right of Musk and the online bouffons online, including on its X, formerly Twitter, platform, coincided with a severe bump in brand images and sales for Tesla cars and its other companies. The technological billionaire said on Wednesday that he ended his work with the government and focused on his Tesla and Spacex companies.
