In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk’s recent exit from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been overshadowed by some serious allegations.
Reports surfaced that Musk, known for his bold ventures, allegedly used drugs like ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms while serving as a senior advisor in former President Donald Trump’s administration.
This revelation caught many off guard, including Trump himself.
Trump Says He Didn’t Know About Musk’s Drug Use
During a rather unusual farewell ceremony at the Oval Office, where Musk officially stepped down, President Trump brushed aside the drug rumors.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said, “I wasn’t aware. I think Elon is a fantastic guy.”
The former president’s comments came just hours after a detailed New York Times report painted a picture of concern among Trump’s aides over Musk’s behavior and alleged substance use during official trips.
Musk Shrugs Off Injury and Drug Allegations
At the White House event, Musk appeared casual, wearing a “Dogefather” T-shirt and sporting a dark bruise under his right eye.
When asked about the mark, he joked it was from rough play with his young son, “Lil X.”
However, when the conversation shifted to the drug accusations, Musk avoided giving a direct answer.
Instead, he criticized the media, accusing The New York Times of spreading “false reporting” and suggested the story was politically motivated.
White House Responds With A Surprisingly Low-Key Reaction
Contrary to Trump’s usual hardline stance on drugs, the administration’s response was surprisingly mild.
Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff and reportedly someone with close personal ties to Musk, dismissed the claims rather flippantly, saying, “The drugs that we’re concerned about are the ones crossing the southern border.”
This reaction seemed to downplay the seriousness of the allegations circulating about Musk.
Musk’s Exit Reflects Broader Tensions Inside Trump’s Team
Musk’s departure comes at a time of rising friction within Trump’s circle, particularly around spending and the effectiveness of DOGE.
The department had ambitious goals of saving $1 trillion, but critics say the results fell far short.
Despite stepping down, Musk assured that he will continue to support Trump, stating, “I look forward to continuing to be a friend and advisor to the president.”
Questions Remain About Musk’s Future Influence
With the spotlight now on Musk’s personal conduct, many are wondering how long he can stay influential within Trump’s inner circle.
Was Trump truly unaware of Musk’s alleged drug habits, or did he choose to overlook them? As the story unfolds, these questions linger, adding another twist to the complex relationship between the tech billionaire and the former president.
