Fox News Host Slams Musk for Dodging Drug Use Question
Fox News host Howard Kurtz has called out Elon Musk for deflecting questions about his alleged drug use while serving in the White House. The New York Times published a bombshell report this week on Musk's alleged drug habits when he was President Donald Trump's senior adviser at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which reportedly included taking magic mushrooms, ecstasy, Adderall, and enough ketamine to cause bladder issues. Musk was asked about the Times report during a press briefing at the Oval Office marking the end of his tenure at DOGE on Friday. 'Wait, wait, The New York Times, is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate? Is it the same organization?' Musk replied before saying, 'Let's move on.' Kurtz pointed out on Media Buzz Sunday that Musk 'decided to talk about something from five years ago involving the Pulitzers because he knew that he did not want to answer that question. That's my take.' 'That's called deflection,' he added. But Fox News contributor Toni Lahren said that she wasn't sure if the Times 'produced any real evidence of a so-called drug problem,' claiming that the left was simply 'looking for some kind of scandal.' 'The left loved Elon Musk even if he was a billionaire that did mushrooms on the side and maybe a little ketamine. They didn't have a single problem with it. They loved the Teslas. They loved Elon. They loved space flight. They loved all of it,' she said. 'And then he came out as a Trump supporter and now you've got headline news—with everything going on in the country, in the world—about Elon Musk allegedly, maybe doing some mushrooms, maybe a little adderall,' Lahren added. 'Again, please spare me.' She said that even if Musk was actually taking drugs, his potential 'recreational drug use' didn't impact 'everyday Americans.' 'I know that they're looking for some kind of scandal there, but I think it's a real nothing burger and I don't think many people quite frankly, care what Elon Musk does in his personal private time,' she said. Musk has previously publicly acknowledged using ketamine. In an interview with former CNN host Don Lemon last year, he admitted to taking a 'small amount' of ketamine to treat depression. A clip has also recently resurfaced of Musk at Trump's Bedminster golf club in New Jersey in March balancing spoons with Shivon Zilis, one of the mothers of his children. Social media users have accused him of 'tripping on ketamine' in the clip. 'I'm not on ketamine ffs,' Musk wrote in response to the clip.

Winnipeg Jets lament controversial Game 3 winner: ‘That is no goal'
When does a deflection turn into possession of a puck? Kyle Connor looked, wide-eyed. He didn't know what to say. The Winnipeg Jets had just let a close Game 3 slip away and given the Dallas Stars a 2-1 lead in their series. But it was a vital question: the Stars' game-winning goal in Game 3 depended on the answer. Connor didn't have it. Neither did Morgan Barron, who deflected it to Jets head coach Scott Arniel. Arniel was unequivocal in his disagreement. The goal that won Game 3 never should have counted. But Alex Petrovic's goal stood as the game-winner. 'The rule states that if the puck gets kicked, if it hits a body or a stick of anybody else other than the goaltender, it counts as a goal. It hit our goaltender's stick and went in the net. That is no goal,' Arniel said. Advertisement 'I'm not sure that's how the rule reads,' said Stars' coach Pete DeBoer. 'I think the rule reads that if, I believe, the goalie is making a play on the puck, that it's a goal. So that's the difference. Is it just deflected off him or is he trying to make a play with the puck? And I think they got it right.' Petrovic scored it three minutes and 51 seconds into the third period, following up on a Dallas rush by kicking the puck toward the net. The puck struck Connor Hellebuyck's stick and deflected into the net. It was initially called a goal at ice level. THE STARS HAVE A GOOD GOAL TO START THE THIRD ⭐️ — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) May 11, 2025 A video review initiated in Toronto started a lengthy review process — first, to determine whether or not Petrovic had kicked the puck, second, to determine whether or not the puck hit Petrovic's stick after he kicked it, and third, to determine whether or not Hellebuyck propelled the puck into his own net. It was called a goal, with this explanation given by the NHL Situation Room: The Situation Room initiated a video review to further examine if Alexander Petrovic kicked the puck into the Winnipeg net. Video was then used to determine if the puck made contact with Petrovic's stick prior to it entering the net. After looking at all available replays, video review supported the Referee's call on the ice that Connor Hellebuyck propelled the puck into his own net. 'They said that Helle 'propelled' the puck in. I haven't seen the word 'propelled' in the rulebook,' Arniel said. If it had been determined that Petrovic had propelled the puck into the net, then the 'kicking motion' rules would come into play: The goal would have been disallowed. Instead, the ruling was that Hellebuyck propelled the puck into his net. The kicking motion rules did not apply. Here are the kicking motion rules, which the NHL deemed inapplicable given their determination that Hellebuyck propelled the puck into his own net. Arniel is right that there is no reference to a goaltender propelling the puck into his own net. It seems clear in the video that Hellebuyck's stick does redirect the puck into the net. It's hard to view the goal as a case where Hellebuyck had enough possession to propel the puck into his net — as opposed to it deflecting off of him and in, as per No. 2 in the rules above. Advertisement Then again, if the rule states that a goal should count if the goaltender makes a play at the puck, DeBoer is right. The NHL's determination that Hellebuyck propelled the puck into his own net appears to indicate 'own goal.' Rule 79.4 states: 'A goal shall be scored if the puck is shot into the goal by a player of the defending side. The player of the attacking side who last touched the puck shall be credited with the goal but no assist shall be awarded.' Ultimately, that's the decision the NHL appears to have made — although, if that's the case, then Mikko Rantanen and Sam Steel's assists should not apply. The NHL had a lot to deal with: kicked puck, any number of deflections between Petrovic's kick and Hellebuyck's stick, and then the determination that Hellebuyck played the puck into his own net as opposed to it deflecting off of him. It makes sense that they took nearly eight minutes to come to their deliberation. But when does a deflection turn into Hellebuyck shooting the puck into his own net? It seems like a difficult interpretation to make, by video, in slow motion. The rest of the game played out quicky: Rantanen scored 49 seconds later, giving the Stars a two-goal lead, and Wyatt Johnston added another before the third period was done and Dallas won 5-2.
