Elon Musk Says New York Times Is ‘Lying Their Ass Off’ About His Alleged Drug Use; Newspaper Defends Coverage


Elon Musk denied a NY Times report claiming the tech mogul was 'using drugs far more intensely than previously known' while campaigning for Trump.

Over the weekend, Elon Musk hit back at the New York Times about the newspaper’s exposé claiming that the tech mogul was “using drugs far more intensely than previously known” while he campaigned for Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Musk last week announced that he is stepping away from the Trump administration, for which he led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), although he said he will continue to informally advise the president. At a press conference last Friday at the White House to mark his stepping away from DOGE, Musk declined to answer a question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy about the Times piece on his alleged drug use.
