Elon Musk is said to have used ketamine on an almost daily basis and mixing it with other narcotics whilst serving as a central figure in the Trump White House, sources close to him have claimed.<\/p>\n

The world’s richest man’s alleged drug use led him to develop bladder problems around the same time he endorsed Donald Trump, sources told The New York Times.<\/p>\n

Musk, 53, also allegedly took ecstasy and magic mushrooms, blurring the line between medical and recreational use in a way that worried his friends.<\/p>\n

Sources described how he reportedly travelled with a daily pill box holding about 20 tablets, including ones that resembled the stimulant Adderall.<\/p>\n

The bizarre behaviour extended beyond the alleged drug use, with Musk delivering what was described as a “Nazi-like” salute at a rally, prompting criticism from former friend Philip Low, a neuroscientist.<\/p>\n

Low said: “Elon has pushed the boundaries of his bad behaviour more and more.”<\/p>\n

Hours before he was due to appear in the Oval Office beside Trump for a farewell news conference on Friday, the NY Times published its report on his extensive drug use.<\/p>\n

He announced on Wednesday that he was leaving his role in government to return to his businesses.<\/p>\n

SpaceX, Musk’s aerospace company and major government contractor, is required to keep drugs out of the workplace.<\/p>\n

However, people close to the business claimed that Musk had been given advance warning of supposedly random tests.<\/p>\n

A drug test analyses a biological specimen, like urine, hair, blood, breath, or saliva, to determine the presence or absence of specific substances.<\/p>\n

Board members at his electric car company, Tesla, also raised concerns about his use of drugs, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

Musk has previously played down any impact on his work, telling reporter Don Lemon last year that he used “a small amount” of ketamine.<\/p>\n

Stephen Miller, a key Trump aide, shrugged off concerns about Musk’s alleged drug use.<\/p>\n

When asked about the reports, Miller said: “The drugs that we’re concerned about are the drugs running across the southern border.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elon Musk is said to have used ketamine on an almost daily basis and mixing it with other…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":149711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,32,77,285,512,16,15,978,2862],"class_list":{"0":"post-149710","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-politics","12":"tag-sgg","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-us","16":"tag-us-politics"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114608697933100922","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
