Overview

  • On June 11 Musk submitted both urine and hair follicle samples that tested negative for substances including ketamine, ecstasy, cocaine and amphetamines.
  • He publicly dared reporters at The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to take and publish their own drug test results.
  • The New York Times reiterated that nothing Musk has presented contradicts its May investigation alleging chronic ketamine and ecstasy use during Trump’s 2024 campaign.
  • Musk’s AI chatbot Grok noted that recent tests only reflect short-term absence of drugs and cannot disprove earlier alleged use due to sampling window limitations.
  • Following his 130-day leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk faces additional scrutiny as Tesla’s Robotaxi service prepares for its June 22 launch amid safety concerns.
