Audience Reacts to Perceived Distraction of Elon Musk during White House Meeting following Drug Allegations Report
Elon Musk, the dynamo CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently parted ways with the White House under a cloud of controversy. His departure followed explosive claims by The New York Times that he was using a cocktail of drugs, including ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms, during his time on the campaign trail.
Musk, who has previously acknowledged his use of ketamine for depression, has been accused of overusing the powerful anesthetic, which comes with hallucinogenic properties, to a point that it allegedly impacted his health.
Insiders claim that Musk's drug consumption was not just medicinal but also recreational, with reports of him taking drugs at private gatherings across the U.S. and at least one foreign country. These allegations coincide with witness accounts of his erratic behaviors, such as making an apparent Nazi salute at Trump's election day event.
However, Musk has insisted that he only takes a 'small amount' of ketamine and that he is not into illegal drugs. During a recent public appearance, eagle-eyed viewers noticed his unusual behavior, with some suggesting he had consumed drugs prior to the press conference.
Musk's departure from the White House, which followed a five-month stint at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been met with mixed reactions. While some have questioned his conduct, others have praised his work in slashing federal bureaucracy.
During his farewell press conference, Musk seemed contrite about his exit, yet he hinted that he would continue to be a 'friend and adviser' to President Trump. He also mentioned that he would focus on his multi-billion-dollar businesses, including Space X, Tesla, and his ambitious plan to colonize Mars.
In addition to the drug allegations, Musk's tenure at DOGE was marked by personal legal battles involving his ex-partners and children. His former partner, Claire Boucher, known professionally as Grimes, is reportedly fighting with Musk over his public flaunting of their son, which she alleges violates their custody agreement. He has also been accused of fathering a secret 14th child with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair.
Musk has dismissed the media reports about his drug use, stating that people "can't trust" The New York Times. Trump, on the other hand, has thanked Musk for his work at DOGE and expressed his hope that Musk would continue visiting the White House and advising him.
