The New York Times reported Friday that Elon Musk was regularly consuming ketamine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, Ambien, Adderall and other drugs while on the campaign trail with Trump. The newspaper said it based its report on private messages it obtained, along with interviews with “more than a dozen people” who know Musk.

The newspaper says the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who said earlier this week he was leaving the Trump administration after his work with DOGE, was using drugs "far more intensely than was previously known" as he became a close ally of the president near the beginning of his second term.
