He takes drugs all the time…’: Donald #TRUMP admits leaking drug claims about #ElonMusk to NYT
The public clash between US President Donald Trump 🇺🇸 and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk ⚡ marks a dramatic shift in their relationship. Once seen as potential allies, their bond has fractured publicly over political differences and accusations. Recently, Trump admitted 🗣️ to leaking claims about Musk's alleged drug use 💊 to The New York Times 📰.
According to Michael Wolff, a Trump biographer, Trump openly discussed his role in leaking the information. Wolff quoted Trump: “We dropped a dime to The New York Times on Elon’s drug taking.” 🕵️♂️
The May 2024 NYT report revealed Musk’s alleged use of ketamine, MDMA, psychedelic mushrooms, and Adderall. The report claimed that Musk’s drug use raised concerns among his associates about its impact on his business decisions 💼 at Tesla 🚗 and SpaceX 🚀.
Musk, however, denied the claims, posting a clean drug test 🧪 two weeks later. He’s remained focused on his business ventures and political commentary 💬.
The Breakdown
Once allies, Trump and Musk's relationship soured after Musk criticized Republican fiscal policies 💸. Trump took to Truth Social 📱, attacking Musk personally, including jabs about his South African origins 🌍. This marked a shift from their earlier cooperative rapport.
Musk has hinted at launching a third political party 🎯, the “America Party”, aimed at challenging deficit-increasing policies and reshaping the political landscape ahead of the 2024 US elections 🗳️.
This feud underscores the growing tension between the political and business elites, potentially altering the future of US politics.
