Report Claims Musk’s Government Exit Due to “Crippling Drug Habit,” Sources Question Motives
Explosive reports circulating claim that a “crippling drug habit” was the true reason for Elon Musk’s departure from his role in the government, specifically referencing his time with “Doge,” apparently the Department of Government Efficiency. This new claim contradicts the previous understanding that his exit was due to frustration with the government.
However, the notion of a “crippling” habit is immediately questioned, suggesting that the term might be defined differently by the accusers, especially considering Musk’s seemingly regular and non-stop work ethic. It is acknowledged that individuals in such high-pressure positions might use performance-enhancing supplements. The source states outright indifference to whether Musk was using drugs, arguing it’s not their concern what adults do as long as it doesn’t harm others, expressing a belief that drugs should not be illegal for the most part and that the government’s war on drugs is “stupid”.
The reports, including one from the New York Times, allege that Musk used a “cocktail of pills” while involved with politics, suggesting his personal life was spilling into his work. The New York Times report is said to be based on a series of texts reviewed by the outlet and interviews with insiders.
Allegations of Drug Use Detailed
Specific allegations include Musk’s acknowledged use of ketamine, prescribed for depression, which he previously stated he took roughly every two weeks. However, insiders reportedly allege he took the powerful anesthetic, known for hallucinogenic properties, so frequently it was affecting his bladder. The bombshell reports also claim he took ecstasy and mushrooms and traveled with a daily pill box containing around 20 different drugs, including Adderall. Claims suggest his consumption blurred the lines between medicinal and recreational, with alleged drug taking at private gatherings across the US and in at least one foreign country.
Musk has reportedly claimed in interviews that he takes small amounts of ketamine and genuinely dislikes doing drugs.
Source of the Claims Questioned
Significant doubt is cast on the origin and motives behind these reports. It is suggested that the New York Times report might have been leaked by an ex-lover of Musk’s, possibly one currently involved in a custody battle with him. Ashley Sinclair and Claire Buché (the musician known as Grimes) are mentioned in the context of Musk’s ex-partners and custody disputes. Claire Buché is noted as fighting with Musk over their 5-year-old son. The timing of a court meeting over custody is highlighted as potentially relevant.
The reports are characterized as a “hit piece”, potentially put out by “ex-wives” to try and destroy Musk’s reputation and, more importantly, to obtain more child support. It is suggested that Ashley Sinclair seeks “tens of millions of dollars”.
The New York Times is labeled a “lefttoid shill outlet”, and it’s noted that their report is behind a paywall. The report is ultimately dismissed as “worthless”.
Musk’s Government Role
Musk joined the president’s inner circle after making a vast fortune in technology. He was put in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency by President Donald Trump, intended to cut federal bureaucracy. Despite reports of his stepping down after only four months, it is strongly asserted that this was not a firing. It is claimed that his time in the role was always intended to be limited. No one in the Trump administration has reportedly disparaged him, and reports suggest he is still working with the Trump administration as an adviser. The narrative pushed by some, suggesting Musk was fired, does not appear to be supported by evidence.
Musk’s lawyer reportedly did not respond to requests for comment regarding his personal drug use. It is stated that they do not owe anyone an explanation.
The report is framed as being designed to hurt Musk, suggesting it is meant to try and take his children away from him. It is stated that Musk cares deeply about the country. Despite the allegations regarding drug use, the source expresses indifference, hoping only that Musk manages his health well.
