Trump had bizarre response when asked about Elon Musk’s alleged ‘drug use’ while running DOGE
President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about Elon Musk’s alleged drug use during his tenure leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). A *New York Times* report claimed Musk used substances like ketamine and psychedelics, though Musk denied the allegations, calling the publication unreliable. Trump defended Musk as a “fantastic guy” who did “a great job” reforming government efficiency, adding he wasn’t troubled by the claims.
Despite Musk’s departure from DOGE, Trump hinted the billionaire would remain involved in government projects. Musk has denied current drug use, admitting only to trying prescription ketamine years ago. The controversy hasn’t dampened Trump’s support, as he praised Musk’s work and suggested he’d continue advising informally. Neither Musk’s team nor the White House provided further comment.
