Report alleges Elon Musk used cocktail of ketamine, ecstasy, shrooms, and Adderall during high-pressure stints

Elon Musk used more drugs than people knew during the 2024 campaign trail. He became super close to Donald Trump and was a key person in Trump’s inner circle. Musk reportedly took so much ketamine that it started damaging his bladder. He also used ecstasy and magic mushrooms often. Musk carried a box with about 20 pills, which included Adderall, according to a report by The New York Times.

It's not clear if he kept using this drug mix during Trump's second term while leading the Department of Government Efficiency. But Musk kept showing weird and frantic behavior, like giving a Nazi salute at a January event and acting super nervous in public. This all happened when Musk was going through personal problems, like fights with his estranged kids and people finding out he had other kids no one knew about, as per reports.

Musk has said in public that he takes small amounts of ketamine that a doctor prescribed to help with his mental health. He told Don Lemon: “If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work.” But people who know Musk said he was taking ketamine almost daily, and even mixed it with other drugs sometimes. He even told some people that his bladder was getting hurt from so much ketamine, as mentioned in the reports.

This was happening around July 2024, when Musk said publicly that he was supporting Trump for president. He also did ecstasy and shrooms at private parties, both in the U.S. and even at least one event overseas. Musk was reportedly warned in advance when random drug tests were coming at SpaceX, his rocket company.

Neuroscientist Philip Low, who used to be Musk’s friend, said: “Elon has pushed the boundaries of his bad behavior more and more.” These drug claims came out just before a Friday press conference where Musk and Trump were going to announce Musk leaving his federal job. Musk had to leave that job because it was a 130-day role as a “special government employee,” and May 30 was the deadline, according to a report by The New York Times.
