Musk posts 'negative' drug result after ketamine claim
The Independent
|June 18, 2025
Elon Musk has shared the results of a drug test in an effort to defuse accusations of drug-taking during Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign.
A bombshell New York Times report, published last month, alleged that Mr Musk, Mr Trump's biggest donor, was taking ketamine, ecstasy and magic mushrooms, quoting people familiar with his activities.
Yesterday, weeks after the allegations surfaced, Mr Musk posted on X the alleged results of a lab test conducted on 11 June by "Fastest Labs of South Austin" in Texas.
The results, which became available five days after his urine sample was taken, show negative results for amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine, cannabinoids, and fentanyl.
Mr Musk did not test positive for any drugs in his system, according to the results he posted. Prior to posting the results, he shared a post from an X user that read: "If Elon is on any drugs, I want what he's having."
