Elon Musk ducks question on drug use while stumping for Trump in 2024: 'Let's move on'

Elon Musk faced questions about his alleged drug use while supporting President Trump’s re-election bid in 2024. When confronted with the issue, Musk chose not to address the report directly, deflecting by urging the reporters to move on to the next question.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO joined Trump in the Oval Office for an event marking his final day as a special government employee in the Department of Government Efficiency — hours after the New York Times reported the 53-year-old was talking ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms while lending his time and treasure to the future 47th president.

“Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate?” Musk shot back at a reporter. “That New York Times? Let’s move on.”

The report also claimed that Musk had told acquaintances he was having bladder issues, apparently due to regular use of ketamine.

The Post has not been able to independently confirm accounts of Musk’s drug use, nor is there evidence that he regularly used drugs as a special government employee.
