ELON Musk took an extensive amount of drugs while helping Donald Trump be reelected as president, it has been claimed.
The Tesla boss reportedly used ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at an alarming rate during the campaign trail last year.
The 53-year-old tech mogul was even said to have taken ketamine so often that it left him with serious bladder problems, according to claims published in the New York Times.
Musk reportedly told his associates in spring last year – around the same time he first endorsed Trump for the presidency – that he was feeling the effects of the powerful substance.
Bladder problems are a known consequence of chronic abuse of ketamine, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
It remains unclear whether Musk was ever under the influence of any drugs during his time inside the White House.
The world’s richest man was also travelling with a daily supply of approximately 20 pills at one point, the report added.
These were stored in a medication box with Adderall markings alongside other substances, according to sources who have seen photographs of the container.
This left those around him to say he had developed a “serious ketamine habit”, say the NYT.
The alleged drug usage is said to have worsened around the same time as Musk endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Musk has previously admitted to using ketamine in small doses to help with depression as it can be legally prescribed in the US.
But in most workplaces its usage would likely violate federal workplace policies.
He is also said to have taken ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms in recent months.
Ecstasy is classified by the DEA as a Schedule I controlled substance which means it has no accepted medical use.
This means it is completely banned for all federal employees and is illegal across the US.
It comes as President Trump officially said goodbye to Musk earlier today as he exited the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) and left the White House.
Musk wore a black t-shirt with the words “The Dogefather” in the style of The Godfather emblazoned on the front.
He was also seen with a black eye as he stood next to Trump in the Oval Office.
It was later revealed that the nasty injury was from his five-year-old son X who had accidentally hit him when the two were playing.
He was quizzed by a reporter around the drug claims in the NYT report.
Musk did not directly respond but attacked the news site.
He said: “Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russiagate?

His comments referenced claims made by the NYT that Russian interference had compromised the 2016 presidential election which Trump won.
Musk officially announced he was leaving his role as Trump’s “secretary of cost-cutting” this week after a dramatic 130-day White House stint.
His time in the office was marked by a slew of dramatic moments.
This includes him brandishing a chainsaw on stage and even putting on a Tesla sales pitch outside the White House.
At one point, an erratic Musk even appeared to do a “Nazi salute” on stage at a celebration for Trump’s election win in January.
He denied the gesture was purposefully done and hit out at critics.
The SpaceX chief has previously spoken out about his often odd mannerisms and behaviour after a report alleged illegal drugs are the cause.
In January 2024, a Wall Street Journal report claimed in 2018, the Tesla CEO took multiple tabs of acid at a party in Los Angeles, Shrooms in 2019, and ketamine in 2021.
Musk responded by saying he agreed to three years of random drug testing at NASA‘s request recently.
SpaceX has a strict drug-free workplace policy for all its employees – including top bosses due to its government contracts.
But insiders told the NYT that Musk will always be given prior notice of when the random drug tests will be taking place.
It is unclear if the White House has drug testing policies for all its staff and if Musk was ever tested.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk's complicated relationship
PRESIDENT Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's relationship started rocky, but the pair have since reconciled after Musk fully endorsed Trump during his election campaign.
In 2022, Elon Musk and Donald Trump publicly feuded on X, then still known as Twitter.
Trump called Musk a liar and “bulls**t artist” during a rally in Alaska.
“Elon is not going to buy Twitter,” Trump said at the time.
“You know, he said the other day, ‘I’ve never voted for a Republican.’ I said, ‘I didn’t know that – you told me you voted for me. So he’s another bulls**t artist, but he’s not going to be buying it.”
In response to Trump’s critiques, the SpaceX founder clapped back.
“I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” Musk posted.
Musk also went on to buy X months later.
The X owner said he had previously voted mostly for Democrats since becoming a United States citizen in 2002.
Musk initially backed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to be the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.
“My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist,” Musk wrote on X in 2022.
“I had hoped that would [be] the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far.”
His shift in political parties might be attributed to his plummeting relationship with President Joe Biden who didn’t invite Musk to the 2021 White House electric vehicle summit.
Despite their past issues, Trump and Musk’s relationship took a turn in March after they met at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump was also previously against electric vehicles but has since changed his stance.
“I’m for electric cars,” he said at a rally earlier this month.
“I have to be, because Elon endorsed me very strongly. So I have no choice.”
Following the assassination attempt at Trump’s rally in July, Musk announced his support for the former president.
“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote on X after the shooting.
During a recent press conference, Trump spoke highly of Musk.
“I respect Elon a lot. He respects me,” he said.
“Elon, more than almost anybody I know, he loves this country. He loves the concept of this country, but like me, he says this country is in big trouble, it’s in tremendous danger.”
Musk has been pictured at events at Mar-a-Lago and the UFC since, buddying up with Trump.
Trump even selected Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency – a taskforce aimed at cutting bureaucracy.
Musk’s son was also seen smiling and playing around with Trump inside the Oval Office earlier this year.
