According to a report by The New York Times, Elon Musk has been accused of frequently using drugs including ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms during the 2024 presidential campaign. The report states that his usage was significant enough to affect his bladder health. Musk denied these allegations, claiming that he only used them a few years ago to treat depression and has not used them since. He also criticized The New York Times' report on social media as a "complete lie."
Additionally, Musk drew public attention when he smoked marijuana during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast in 2018. He later stated that he does not frequently smoke marijuana and claimed, "I do not smoke weed."
Currently, Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives are investigating Musk's drug use, particularly whether he has used drugs in the White House or other federal buildings.
In summary, there is currently controversy regarding whether Musk uses drugs. While some media reports claim he has used various drugs, Musk himself denies this and emphasizes that he has not used illegal drugs. The related investigation is still ongoing and no conclusions have been reached yet.
