Elon Musk accidentally leaks his own social security number in insane post
Elon Musk may have accidentally exposed personal information while trying to disprove drug use allegations. After the New York Times reported he used drugs during Trump’s campaign, Musk posted two negative drug tests on X—one urine-based and one hair-based. However, the hair test results visibly displayed the last four digits of his Social Security number, risking identity theft. Despite the slip-up, Musk hasn’t deleted the post or addressed the leak.
Trump, when asked about Musk allegedly bringing drugs to the White House, said he “hoped not” but wished him well. Musk’s posts were meant to counter “fake journalists,” demanding they take drug tests too. While the tests cleared his name, the oversight highlights the dangers of oversharing sensitive data online—even for billionaires.
