Elon Musk Posts His Drug Test Results for Ketamine and Cocaine
Elon Musk posted what appeared to be his drug test results on X early Tuesday. And even though multiple credible news organizations have said Musk is a regular user of illicit drugs, it looks like the billionaire oligarch tested negative for the drugs he's reportedly been using, including cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine. Musk tweeted simply 'lol' with an image of the report, which appears to have been conducted by a company called Fastest Labs of South Austin, in Austin, Texas. The image posted by Musk states it was a urine test collected on June 11 and received by the lab on June 13. The report is dated June 16. The report shows Musk tested negative for benzodiazepines, amphetamine, and opiates, among the other drugs he's reportedly used in the past. Musk has been most closely associated with ketamine, a drug that reportedly impacted his bladder, according to an article from the New York Times in late May. The billionaire has said he was prescribed ketamine for depression years ago, but more recently said he hasn't touched it in a few years. Musk accused the New York Times of 'lying their ass off' about his history of drug use. But the newspaper wasn't the first to report on it. The Wall Street Journal was the first major newspaper to write about Musk's alleged history with LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms, and ketamine back in January 2024. The article cited sources within his companies who were concerned that Musk's drug use may be hurting his businesses. Musk posted the drug results himself on Tuesday, which means we have to take his word that it's an accurate representation of reality. That will obviously be difficult for some people, given Musk's history of being dishonest about a litany of topics. For example, when Musk insisted there was widespread fraud happening at the Social Security Administration and 150-year-olds were collecting Social Security checks, it was a claim that made it into President Donald Trump's first speech to Congress during his second term. As it turns out, Musk's claim wasn't true, and his top DOGE spokesperson, Katie Miller, insisted on perpetuating the lie, according to new reporting from the New York Times. NASA, which oversees Musk's lucrative SpaceX contracts, insisted it saw 'no evidence' back in January 2024 that he had used drugs. But the New York Times also reported last month that Musk had been given advance warning about drug tests mandated by the government for the billionaire to keep his security clearance. It seems unlikely that Musk's tweet with drug test results will put the debate to rest. Especially since the Tesla CEO spent the past year under a harsh spotlight after he endorsed Trump, handing out over $250 million to get him and other Republicans elected. Musk appeared on quite a few stages to promote Trump, giving the public more than a few opportunities to see him act strangely. There are just way too many odd events to count, from Musk's bizarre jumping at a Trump rally in the summer of 2024 to Musk's Nazi-style salutes on the day of Trump's inauguration to his erratic chainsaw stunt at CPAC in February. Then there was Musk's farewell in the Oval Office, where he kept spinning his head around and gazing into the distance as Trump was talking. It wasn't the first time he'd done that in recent months. But who knows? The defense from Musk fans is often that he's on the autism spectrum and comes across awkwardly. That could very well be true. But it seems like most people have someone with autism in their lives who doesn't act as erratically and unhinged as Musk.

Elon Musk shares drug test results weeks after bombshell ketamine report, verbal spat with Trump
Amid circulating rumors of drug addiction, recent testing results have revealed that Elon Musk tested negative for fentanyl, ketamine, and a host of additional substances. Just weeks after a shocking investigation revealed that the billionaire was addicted to stimulants, psychedelics, and ketamine during his stay in the White House, Musk posted a picture of the results on X this morning with the word, 'lol.' The picture seems to indicate that on June 11, a few days after his intense verbal altercation with President Donald Trump, in which he was referred to as a 'big-time drug addict,' Elon tested negative for 22 substances, including benzodiazepines, amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine, opioids, cannabis, and fentanyl. Also Read: Minnesota shooter Vance Boelter's alarming notes reveal his disturbing plans; Did they include Jeff Bezos' ex-wife? Musk's urine test was conducted by Fastest Labs of South Austin, Texas. In the past, Musk stated that he had been prescribed the potent anesthetic ketamine for depression. The findings follow a shocking New York Times article that said Musk was using so much ketamine that it was starting to impair his bladder, possibly causing discomfort and control problems. According to sources, Musk traveled with a daily pill box containing roughly 20 different drugs, including Adderall, and used psychedelic mushrooms and ecstasy. Despite the negative drug test findings, urine drug tests have a one- to seven-day detection window. Substance misuse can be detected up to six months in advance using other methods, such as hair follicle screenings. This implies that Musk might have a history of drug misuse and that he may have just stopped using narcotics for a few days. Earlier, the Tesla CEO published a post from an X user that said, "If Elon is on any drugs, I want what he's having." 'I tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago and said so on X, so this is not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven't taken it since then,' Musk wrote in his defense. Additionally, he charged that the NYT had fabricated their report.

Elon Musk posts drug test results after alleged addiction ruined his gig at Trump's White House
Elon Musk has reportedly tested negative for fentanyl, ketamine and a cocktail of other drugs amid rumors of his crippling habit severing his ties to the White House. Musk shared a photo of results on X early this morning with the caption 'lol,' most likely referencing accusations surrounding his drug use. The image shows he tested negative for 22 substances, including benzodiazepines, amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine, opioids, cannabis and fentanyl. He also previously claimed to have been prescribed the powerful anesthetic ketamine for depression. According to the image, the urine test was performed June 11 at Fastest Labs of South Austin in Texas. The results come weeks after a bombshell New York Times report claiming Musk was taking so much ketamine that is had begun affecting his bladder, which could include pain and control issues. He also took ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and travelled with a daily pill box that contained about 20 different drugs, including Adderall, sources allege. While the results are negative, urine drug tests can only detect substances for anywhere from one to seven days. Other measures like hair follicle tests can detect substance abuse dating back six months. This means it's possible Musk only stopped taking drugs for a few days, and it's still possible he has a history of drug abuse. Prior to posting the results, the Tesla CEO had shared a post from an X user that read: 'If Elon is on any drugs, I want what he's having.'
