Elon Musk has responded to recent allegations about his drug use—sparked by Donald Trump’s public comments—with a post on X showing a negative drug test result and the caption “lol.” Accusations had claimed Musk used ketamine frequently enough to affect his bladder, and that he traveled with a supply of pills, including Adderall. In a 2024 interview, Musk admitted to using ketamine under medical supervision for depression, claiming it was a small, biweekly dose. He defended ketamine therapy, saying it helped lift him from depressive states without interfering with his work.
Their relationship reportedly ended in part due to Trump’s concerns about Musk’s alleged drug use, including ecstasy and psychedelics. Trump allegedly discussed Musk’s behavior with associates following Musk’s critical posts on X. Despite intense media scrutiny and claims published by major outlets like The New York Times, Musk’s lab results appear to counter the accusations. When asked previously about Musk’s drug use, the White House gave a vague response, instead praising Musk’s role in the Trump administration’s cost-cutting efforts.
