Busted: Elon Musk's Controversial Drug Use Allegations - "I Ain't No Junkie"
Musk denies drug use in response to allegations: "I'm clean"
Get the scoop on the juicy goss about tech tycoon Elon Musk's alleged drug past! But remember, he insists it's all hogwash. He boldly proclaims, "I don't touch the stuff."
Billionaire sensation Elon Musk has slammed a report accusing him of drug binges during the 2020 presidential campaign. He let loose on X, firing back at The New York Times for what he calls their "bullshit" report.
The NYT claimed, backed by sources with the inside scoop on Musk, that the Tesla boss had been on a ketamine rampage - a drug known for causing bladder problems, a pesky side effect.
Musk admitted to playing with prescription ketamine years ago, but claims it was no big reveal. He says he hasn't taken it since for it helps him climb out of those dark, mental abysses but ain't his daily gig.
Musk swerved a journo's probe about his drug spree on Friday, but he had already cast doubts on the credibility of The New York Times.
Repeated Drug Use Rumors
According to the newspaper, the 53-year-old was also linked to ecstasy and hallucinogenic shrooms, and was spotted with a pillbox jam-packed with 20 potent meds, including Adderall, a drug commonly used to tackle ADHD. Musk's quiet on this subject.
Politics, Comrades - The Trump-Musk Affair
Musk served as the Doge Department head under Trump, promoting bureaucratic reform. After a four-month stint as Trump's special advisor, Musk announced his departure from the White House this week. Trump said bye-bye to Musk in the Oval Office on Friday - with a black eye.
Rumors of Musk's drug-fueled antics have trailed him for years. The Wall Street Journal reported in early 2024 about Musk's drug-laden consumption habits, including LSD, cocaine, and shrooms[1]. In 2023, whispers of secret drug-fueled soirees in Silicon Valley surfaced, with Musk said to be a repeat attendant[1]. Back in the day, stories circulated about Musk's misuse of Ambien and occasional drug use.

I'm not going to be a big fan of the idea of a "spoof" portraying Elon Musk's alleged drug use, given the ongoing controversy surrounding his drug use reports. However, the constant rumors about celebrities like Musk, whether it's entertainment or politics, seem to frequently intermingle with general-news, creating a complex public discourse.
