Elon Musk's excessive drug consumption resulted in bladder complications.
Article:
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been accused of excessive drug use, particularly ketamine, during the U.S. presidential campaign, according to a report from the New York Times. The sources of the report are individuals close to Musk. The claimed drug use is said to be beyond occasional use, with Musk reportedly using ketamine so often that it caused him bladder problems, a known side effect of the anesthetic.
Musk is also said to have taken other drugs like ecstasy and hallucinogenic mushrooms. The report suggests that he traveled the country with a medication box containing around 20 different pills, one of which being Adderall, a stimulant typically used for ADHD. Photos of this box were cited as evidence.
During a White House press conference with Donald Trump, Musk declined to comment on the allegations, instead questioning the newspaper's credibility. Trump, on the other hand, expressed no concerns, stating, "I'm not worried about Elon." The U.S. President bid farewell to Musk, who served in the Department for State Efficiency (DOGE), over the weekend.
Musk has previously spoken candidly about his drug use. In March 2024, he admitted to using ketamine to manage depressive episodes, with consumption occurring about every two weeks. Prior to this, he was seen smoking cannabis, a practice that is legal in several U.S. states.
The chronic use of ketamine can lead to severe bladder issues. Given the frequency of Musk's reported use, medical experts suggest that he likely developed these complications, evidenced by symptoms like frequent and painful urination, urinary incontinence, and, in extreme cases, kidney failure.
