    Elon Musk engaged in extensive drug consumption while serving as one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, taking ketamine so frequently it caused bladder problems and traveling with a daily supply of approximately 20 pills, according to claims made to the New York Times.

    The world’s richest man regularly consumed ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms during his rise to political prominence, anonymous sources familiar with his activities told the Times. His drug use reportedly intensified as he donated $275m to Trump’s presidential campaign and later wielded significant power through his role spearheading the “department of government efficiency”, or Doge.

    The Doge leader developed what those sources described to the Times as a serious ketamine habit, consuming the powerful anesthetic sometimes daily rather than the “small amount” taken “about once every two weeks” he claimed in interviews. “If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work,” Musk previously told journalist Don Lemon in March 2024, downplaying his consumption.

    However, by spring last year, the Times reports that Musk was telling associates his ketamine use was affecting his bladder – a known consequence of chronic abuse of the drug, which has psychedelic properties and can cause dissociation from reality, according to the DEA.

    His regular medication box contained pills bearing Adderall markings alongside other substances, according to sources with the Times who have seen photographs of the container.

    It remains unclear whether Musk was under the influence during his time at the White House, where he attended sensitive meetings with foreign leaders and held power over federal spending cuts.

    The White House did not return a request for comment on whether Musk underwent drug testing despite his access to classified information.

    SpaceX maintains strict drug-free workplace policies for employees due to its government contracts. However, those insiders tell the Times that Musk received advance warning of random drug tests – undermining their effectiveness.

    Popular podcaster and public intellectual Sam Harris, who publicly ended his friendship with Musk, wrote in a January newsletter: “There is something seriously wrong with his moral compass, if not his perception of reality.”

    Well, not to get too D&D detailed, but a creepy drug-addled, conspiracy-riddled, reality-averse guy who pisses himself was put in charge of dismantling the government, resulting in degraded operations everywhere while bringing death and destruction to many around the world, cutting off ongoing investigations into himself and his businesses, conducting his own foreign policy, and suddenly acquiring a number of additional government contracts that total in the billions. Plus, we still don't know what data he stole or what he plans to do with it even as he continues to "advise" the President and throw massive amounts of money into our politics while tanking the value of his companies because people hate what he is doing. That might be why a lot of people care.

    This was from the launch a few weeks ago.

    Not sure if Musk - SpaceX did much in the cleanup process or if it was left for others to do.
