Donald Trump and Elon Musk
US President Donald Trump privately questioned if Elon Musk’s recent behavior could be linked to the tech billionaire’s alleged drug use, CNN reported.
While Donald Trump publicly downplayed the feud saying that he was “not even thinking about Elon" and wouldn’t be speaking to him “for a while", he reportedly asked aides and advisers if they believed Elon Musk’s actions were connected to his drug use.
What Donald Trump Has Said On Elon Musk’s Drug Use
When asked about Elon Musk’s drug use, Donald Trump declined to speculate, saying, “I don’t want to comment on his drug use. I don’t know- I don’t know what his status is."
He added that a recent New York Times report detailing Elon Musk’s alleged use of ketamine and other substances “sounded very unfair."
The report claimed Elon Musk had been “using drugs far more intensely than previously known," including mixing ketamine with other drugs. Elon Musk has previously said he uses a “small amount" of ketamine under a prescription to manage his mood.
Donald Trump-Elon Musk Feud
The fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump escalated when the Tesla CEO criticized a key legislative package championed by the US President and later posted on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting the administration was withholding files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The White House dismissed the claim as baseless.
Trump ally and former White House strategist Steve Bannon urged the US president to take aggressive action against Elon Musk. On his “War Room Live" show, Steve Bannon called for Elon Musk’s deportation, claiming that the South African-born billionaire is “illegal" and “has got to go." He also suggested the Trump administration investigate Elon Musk’s alleged drug use and consider suspending his security clearance.
