Did Elon Musk Bring Drugs to the White House? Trump’s Shocking Response Revealed

A fiery feud between tech billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has taken a dramatic turn with allegations about Musk’s drug use during his time as a White House advisor. A recent report raised questions about whether Musk brought drugs into the White House, sparking denials, vague responses, and a media storm. Here’s what unfolded and why it’s gripping the world.
The Drug Claims Surface
A May 30, 2025, report stirred controversy:
- Heavy Use Alleged: Sources claimed Musk used ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms heavily while advising Trump’s 2024 campaign and leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). A daily pill box reportedly held 20 tablets, some resembling Adderall.
- Health Impact: Musk’s frequent ketamine use allegedly caused bladder issues, a known side effect of chronic use.
- White House Question: The report didn’t confirm drug use inside the White House, but Musk’s role as a special government employee raised concerns.
The claims cast a shadow over Musk’s tenure.

Trump’s Hesitant Response
On May 30, 2025, Trump faced questions:
- During an Oval Office event marking Musk’s DOGE exit, a reporter asked if Trump knew about Musk’s alleged drug use. Trump said, “I think he’s fantastic. I’m not troubled by anything with Elon,” sidestepping specifics.
- Later that day, after a Pittsburgh rally, Trump added, “I hope he wasn’t doing that,” when pressed about White House drug use.
- His mixed tone—praise with uncertainty—left room for speculation.
Trump’s words deepened the drama.
Musk Fights Back
Musk didn’t stay quiet:
- On X, he wrote, “I am NOT taking drugs. The New York Times was lying. I used ketamine years ago for mental health, but not now.”
- He dismissed a visible black eye at his Oval Office farewell, saying it came from playing with his son, not drug-related issues.
- Musk questioned the report’s credibility, calling it a “smear” tied to a publication’s past errors.
His denials fueled debate among supporters and skeptics.
A Feud Gone Public
The allegations widened a rift:
- Once Allies: Musk donated over $250 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign and led DOGE, slashing federal jobs. Their bond seemed unbreakable.
- Cracks Emerge: By June 2025, they clashed over a tax bill and unverified claims linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. Musk hinted at “classified documents,” while Trump called Musk “unstable.”
- Light Jabs: Trump said he’d “move the Tesla around” but keep Musk’s Starlink service in the White House, hinting at lingering respect.
Their fallout keeps tongues wagging.
What People Are Saying
Social media is split:
- “Musk looked off at that press event—maybe he was tired, not high,” posted @TechFanDC on X.
- “Trump’s ‘I hope not’ says it all. He knows something,” shared @PoliticalScoop.
- “Elon’s built empires—stop the drug gossip,” wrote @MuskDefender.
Fans and critics are locked in heated exchanges.
What’s at Stake
The saga raises big questions:
- White House Rules: As a special government employee, Musk faced looser drug policies than regular staff, but recreational use could violate federal guidelines.
- Public Trust: The uncertainty around Musk’s actions tests faith in Trump’s administration, already under scrutiny.
- Musk’s Future: The controversy could impact his companies, like SpaceX, which face strict drug-free policies for government contracts.
The issue goes beyond personal drama.
Where It Stands
No proof shows Musk brought drugs into the White House:
- Investigations are brewing, with a House Democrat requesting details on Musk’s conduct as an advisor.
- Musk and Trump seem to want peace, with Musk deleting spicy posts and Trump focusing on tariffs and other priorities.
- The public awaits clearer answers, but the feud’s heat keeps the story alive.
This clash of titans isn’t fading soon.
