Tesla CEO Elon Musk hits back at drug use claims, calls publications 'hypocrites'
Briefly

Elon Musk has publicly refuted recent allegations regarding drug use reported by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Both outlets suggested he was abusing various substances during his involvement with the Trump administration. In response, Musk shared the results of a drug test, which returned negative results, and denounced the reports as false. He also challenged the journalists to publish their drug test results, while emphasizing that his past ketamine use was for medical purposes. This situation highlights media scrutiny surrounding high-profile figures and the importance of validating claims with evidence.
Musk challenged the media, stating, 'Great idea. I hereby challenge the NYT and WSJ to take drug tests and publish the results! They won't, because those hypocrites are guilty as sin.'
Musk addressed the drug allegations, claiming, 'The New York Times lies as easy as breathing. It's normal for them,' illustrating his frustration with the media's portrayal.
In light of his clean drug test, Musk reiterated, 'I received ketamine prescriptions from doctors to treat depression... haven’t taken it since then,' providing context to his past.
Musk's fans humorously responded to the allegations, suggesting, 'if Musk were to be on drugs, other CEOs should also do them,' pointing to his relentless work ethic.
