President in panic? Nervous Trump's worrying confession on whether Elon Musk brought drugs to the White House
US President Donald Trump has broken his silence on claims of his one-time First Friend, Elon Musk, used drugs or not while leading the administration's initiative to slash government spending as Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief. Trump had no answer after a reporter asked the President about Elon Musk 's alleged drug use. Trump claimed that he has no idea whether his former adviser brought drugs into the White House. Trump responded cautiously to recent reports alleging Elon Musk used recreational drugs while advising his administration, calling the claims troubling but unverified.

"There was this New York Times report that he did not want to talk about, Elon Musk, that alleged that, toward the end of his time in the White House, was blurring the lines between the recreational use of drugs and medicinal. Do you think he ever had drugs here at the White House?" the reporter asked. Trump's answer was short, stating: "I really don't know. I don't think so. I hope not." He went on to say he wished Musk well as he reminisced on their "good relationship" before the dramatic fallout that happened last week amid an alarming threat. Live Events Trump further stressed he had a "good relationship" with the business tycoon who donated about $275 million to help him win the presidency, and wished him well. "I just wish him well. Very well, actually," the 78-year-old leader said. "Look, I wish him well, you understand. We had a good relationship, and I just wish him well — very well, actually," Trump stated. The president's response when asked other questions about Musk was more or less the same. ALSO READ: Donald Trump stumbles on Air Force One steps, internet says 'time for a wheelchair'. Watch video According to a report in Times, Elon Musk used ketamine as often as once a day in 2024. He allegedly told people he took ketamine so frequently that it impacted his bladder functions, adding that he's also used ecstasy and shrooms at times. Musk wrote on X at the end of May that he's "NOT taking drugs," adding that he "tried prescription ketamine a few years ago" but that he hasn't "taken it since then." Musk had admitted publicly in the past that he has a prescription for ketamine. But he told journalist Don Lemon last year he uses it infrequently, taking a "small amount once every other week" to help him get out of a "depressive mindstate", reports The Irish Star. He said weeks at a time can pass where he doesn't use ketamine. The Wall Street Journal reported last year, however, that some of Musk's associates worry that his alleged drug use could harm his businesses, including Tesla, SpaceX, the social media platform X and various firms. He brushed off concerns about the impact on his companies, however, telling Lemon that "what matters is execution." USA Today reported it remains unclear whether Musk used any substances while serving in an official capacity. When asked about it on his final day as a special government employee, Musk avoided the question, saying, 'Let's move on.' ALSO READ: Diet Coke is making a comeback in US after four years and internet can't keep calm The drug allegations come amid a broader fallout between Trump and Musk. Their once-close relationship soured after Musk denounced Trump's tax and spending package as a 'disgusting abomination.' Trump retaliated by suggesting he might scale back federal contracts held by Musk's companies, while Musk hinted that Trump appeared in classified files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Tensions arose between Musk and Trump after the former criticized Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which includes a provision that would eliminate the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit — which is designed to encourage people to purchase electric vehicles. During his meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Thursday, Trump appeared to suggest that Elon Musk has "Trump derangement syndrome" as he said his former adviser was "disturbed" by the slashing of the electric vehicle tax mandate in his "big, beautiful bill." Musk responded to Trump in real time on X. "Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill," Musk wrote in one. "In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way."

Musk then slammed Trump's "ingratitude" on X on Thursday, claiming that Trump "would have lost the election" had it not been for Musk's help. "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," Musk wrote in a now-deleted tweet. "Such ingratitude," he replied under it. Trump responded on Truth Social, penning three scathing posts, the first of which reads, "Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" He then threatened to nix Musk's contracts with the federal government: "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!"

"I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago," the president wrote. "This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. It's a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn't pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that. I didn't create this mess, I'm just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" That prompted Musk to issue perhaps the most savage message in the feud — accusing Trump of being in the Epstein files, which, he theorized, is why Trump won't make them public. "@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public," Musk wrote on X. "Have a nice day, DJT!" He also threatened to completely cancel the SpaceX Dragon program. Despite the tensions, signs of de-escalation have emerged. Trump took a softer stance when asked about Musk's satellite internet company, Starlink. 'It's a good service,' he said, indicating no plans to discontinue its use at the White House. He also struck a conciliatory note personally, saying: 'We had a good relationship, and I just wish him well.'
