Musk slams New York Times after report on alleged drug use

  • Elon Musk ended his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency in a Friday Oval Office press conference with President Donald Trump where he dodged questions about alleged drug use.
  • A report released on Friday accused Musk of regularly using ketamine, ecstasy, and mushrooms during his 2024 campaign efforts, claims that Musk has firmly denied.
  • During the event, Musk interrupted a question about the report, cited past false reporting by the Times, and showed a black eye he said came from playing with his son, X.
  • Musk stated on X, "To be clear, I am NOT taking drugs!" and called the Times report a lie, while Trump said he was unaware of any drug use and praised Musk.
  • Musk's departure may reduce wasteful spending as he suggested his mission at DOGE will continue influencing government and he hopes to remain a Trump adviser.
