Elon Musk, after the New York Times disclosures: « I don’t take drugs! »

Elon Musk wrote on Saturday on the X network that he did not take drugs, one day after a New York Times article claimed that billionaire entrepreneur would consume significant amounts of ketamine, ecstasy, hallucinogenic mushrooms and drugs released, AFP reports.

‘To be clear, I don’t take drugs! New York Times minds. I tried recipe ketamine a few years ago and I said this on X, so there is nothing new. It helps you to overcome the gloomy periods, but I have not taken since then, « wrote the richest man on the X account, his social network.

Since the joint press conference with Donald Trump on Friday to confirm his departure from the administration, Elon Musk has rejected the information in New York Times about his alleged drug use, but without responding on the merits.

Instead, he accused the important New York daily of spreading ‘lies’ about the relationships between Donald Trump and Russia. ‘We are talking about New York Times? Let’s move on, ‘he avoided.

In the article on Friday, the newspaper argued that, during the election campaign, the contractor consumed significant amounts of ketamine, an anesthetic with stimulating effects, as well as ecstasy, hallucinogenic mushrooms and drugs released.

When a reporter asked Donald Trump on Friday night if he was up to Elon Musk’s regular drug use, the US president replied: ‘I wasn’t’. « I think Elon is a fantastic guy, » he added immediately. ‘He did a fantastic job’ and ‘it will not be easy to replace,’ Trump said.

Elon Musk, CEO of X, Tesla and Spacex, has previously said that he uses small doses of ketamine to combat depressive trends and that it helps him work more efficiently.
