The article alleged Musk consumed ketamine so often it caused bladder issues and that he regularly traveled with a personal supply of 20 pills. His alleged drug use was said to have intensified as his political influence grew and after he donated at least $275 million to Trump’s presidential campaign.
Musk has consistently denied the claims, previously stating: “If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work.”
To counter the allegations, Musk shared the results of a recent urine test on his X (formerly Twitter) account. The test, conducted at Fastest Labs of South Austin, reportedly screened for substances including ketamine, cocaine, fentanyl, and amphetamines — all of which returned negative results.
The post was accompanied by a simple caption: “lol.”
Musk’s release of the drug test comes amid ongoing tensions with Trump. Their once-strong alliance has fractured in recent months, following a series of controversial social media exchanges. At one point, Musk implied Trump had ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — a claim he later walked back, admitting he “went too far.”
Musk has also taken public swipes at Trump’s legislative initiatives, calling the former president’s signature tax and spending legislation a “disgusting abomination” and warning it would impose a significant burden on American taxpayers.
In response, Trump criticised Musk from the Oval Office, expressing disappointment and distancing himself from the tech billionaire. The fallout triggered a sharp market reaction, with Tesla shares plummeting over 14% — wiping an estimated $150 billion from the company’s valuation and costing Musk roughly $20 billion in personal wealth.
In a final jab, Musk said: “Without me, Trump would have lost the election. Such ingratitude.”
