According to a New York Times report, Musk’s consumption of ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms raised eyebrows, particularly given his influential role in the “department of government efficiency”.
Elon Musk’s controversial ties to Trump’s administration included substance use, with reports of ketamine and ecstasy consumption. His erratic behavior raised concerns about his fitness for government roles, despite his influential position.
Elon Musk’s association with Donald Trump’s administration was marked by controversy and erratic behaviour, with sources close to the billionaire entrepreneur revealing a darker side to his involvement. According to a New York Times report, Musk’s consumption of ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms raised eyebrows, particularly given his influential role in the “department of government efficiency”.
Musk’s daily medication box, containing around 20 pills, including Adderall, has sparked concerns about his substance use. In a striking contradiction, Musk told journalist Don Lemon in March 2024 that he took ketamine in small doses every two weeks, saying, “If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work.” However, sources suggest he was using it far more frequently, sometimes daily, which reportedly affected his bladder.
His drug use got worse as he donated $275m to Trump’s presidential campaign and then spearheaded the “department of government efficiency”, or Doge.
As Musk’s role in the administration grew, so did concerns about his behavior. He was known to insult cabinet members and made a Nazi-like salute at a political rally, sparking widespread criticism. Sam Harris, a public intellectual and former friend, wrote in a January newsletter, “There is something seriously wrong with his moral compass, if not his perception of reality.”
