Trump Breaks Silence on Elon Musk’s ‘Out-of-Control’ Drug Scandal After Explosive NYT Exposé – You Won’t Believe What He Said!

According to a report from *The New York Times*, Elon Musk was using a variety of drugs—including ketamine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, Adderall, Ambien, and others—while actively involved in Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign. This information reportedly came from private messages and interviews with over a dozen people close to Musk. The timing of the alleged drug use appears to coincide with his work on the campaign trail and his later appointment to a high-level role in the federal government.

Musk led an initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, which was focused on cutting government spending by firing federal employees and slashing budgets. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Trump brushed off concerns when asked by a reporter. He said, “I’m not troubled by anything with Elon,” praising Musk for his work and downplaying the drug accusations. Trump emphasized that Musk didn’t *need* to take on the DOGE job and still delivered “fantastic” results.

Musk was given special government status as a “special government employee,” allowing him access to sensitive information and major federal resources. He reportedly brought in a young, inexperienced team and allegedly had access to top-secret government data. This raised questions about security and oversight. Yet, neither Musk nor Trump directly addressed those issues when the story broke.

The *Times* also noted Musk carried around a box with up to 20 different pills while traveling with the campaign. Instead of denying the claims in detail, Musk responded by attacking the credibility of *The New York Times*, bringing up past reporting on Trump and the Russia investigation. He dismissed the paper’s reporting, implying it wasn’t trustworthy.

Musk has previously acknowledged using ketamine occasionally and was famously seen smoking marijuana on Joe Rogan’s podcast years ago. But this new reporting paints a more serious picture, suggesting he was regularly using multiple substances while holding a government-related position with significant influence.

Despite stepping down from his DOGE role, Musk said he still wants to be Trump’s “friend and adviser.” Trump, for his part, showed no public concern about the drug use or Musk’s controversial behavior, focusing instead on defending the results of Musk’s work.

The situation has sparked concern from some about whether Musk was fit for the role he was given and whether proper vetting was done. Others are alarmed at the apparent indifference from Trump in the face of potentially serious allegations about someone involved in shaping government policy and accessing sensitive data.
