I’ve used up my #GiftArticle allotment for the month, so if someone has one left, please link it.As #ElonMusk became one of #Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies & donating about $275M to help him win the presidency, he was also using #drugs far more intensely than previously known [tho pretty obvious to the casual observer], acc/to people familiar w/his activities.#law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/us/elon-musk-drugs-children-trump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=p&pvid=DBF8CE23-723C-407C-A89D-923A8B240ABE

#Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much #ketamine …that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took #Ecstasy & #psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant #Adderall [a drug rumored to be favored by #Trump], acc/to a photo of the box & people who have seen it.#law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE

It is *unclear* [is it tho?] whether #Musk was taking #drugs when he became a fixture at #Trump’s WH this year & was handed the #power to slash the federal bureaucracy. But he has exhibited erratic behavior, insulting cabinet members, gesturing like a #Nazi & garbling his answers in a staged interview.At the same time, Musk’s family life has grown increasingly tumultuous as he has negotiated overlapping romantic relationships & private legal battles involving his growing brood of children…#law

…As a large #government contractor, #Musk’s aerospace firm, #SpaceX, must maintain a #drug-free work force & administers random #DrugTests to its employees. But Musk has received advance warning of the tests, acc/to people close to the process.…Musk, who joined #Trump’s inner circle after making a vast fortune on cars, satellites & rocket ships [companies he bought], has long been known for grandiose statements & a mercurial personality.…#law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE

But last year, as #Musk jumped into the political arena, some people who knew him worried about his frequent #DrugUse, mood swings & fixation on having more [& more & more] children. This account of his behavior is based on private messages obtained by NYT as well as interviews w/ more than a dozen people who have known or worked w/him.This year, some of his longtime friends have renounced him, pointing to some of his public conduct.#Trump #law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE

“Elon has pushed the boundaries of his bad behavior more & more,” said Philip Low, a neuroscientist & fmr friend of #Musk’s who criticized him for his #Nazi salute at a rally.And some women are challenging him for control of their children.One of his fmr partners, Claire Boucher, the musician known as Grimes, has been fighting w/Musk over their 5-yr-old son, known as X. Musk is extremely attached to the boy, taking him to the Oval Office & high-profile gatherings broadcast around the world.

Boucher has privately complained that the appearances violate a custody settlement in which she & #Musk agreed to try to keep their children out of the public eye, acc/to people familiar w/her concerns & the provision, which has not been previously reported. She has told people that she worries about the boy’s safety, & that frequent travel & sleep deprivation are harming his health.#Trump #law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE

Another mother, the right-leaning writer Ashley St. Clair, revealed in Feb that she had a secret relationship w/Musk & had given birth to his 14th known child. Musk offered her a large settlement to keep his paternity concealed, but she refused. He sought a gag order in NY to force St. Clair to stop speaking publicly….#Trump #law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE

#Musk has described some of his mental health issues in interviews & on social media, saying in one post that he has felt “great highs, terrible lows & unrelenting stress.” He has denounced traditional therapy & antidepressants.He plays video games for hours on end. He struggles with binge eating, …& takes weight-loss medication. And he posts day & night on his social media platform, X.#Trump #law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE

#Musk has a history of recreational #DrugUse, WSJ reported last year. Some board members at #Tesla …have worried about his use of #drugs, including Ambien, a sleep medication.In an interview in March 2024, the journalist Don Lemon pressed him on his drug use. Musk said he took only “a small amount” of ketamine, about once every two weeks, as a prescribed treatment for *negative moods*.#Trump #law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE #DrugAbuse

#Musk also took Ecstasy & psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States & in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.… The drug has psychedelic properties & can cause dissociation from reality. Chronic use can lead to addiction and problems with bladder pain and control.#Trump #law #USpol #kakistocracy #FederalGovernment #DOGE #DrugAbuse

…He publicly endorsed #Trump in July.Around that time, #Musk told people his #ketamine use was causing bladder issues…Oct 5, he appeared w/Trump at a rally for the first time, bouncing up & down around the candidate…Musk shared his excitement with a person close to him. “I’m feeling more optimistic after tonight,” he texted. “Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix.”“This is not something on the chessboard, so they will be quite surprised,” Musk added ~1hr later. “‘Lasers’ from space.”

@Nonilex as much as I dislike Musk, I hardly thing he's been punched in the face. He just fell on something due to drug abuse.Nigel Farage is still the undisputed champion of 'face that craves for being punched', and he's not been yet spotted with a black eye (as far as I can recall)

For whatever reason, #Musk has spent a bunch of time complimenting #Trump’s redecoration of the Oval Office. It’s basically just covered with hold paint. Then for obvious reasons spends a good deal of time bashing the #NYT.

@Nonilex The black eye is probably from training for his one-on-one combat with Putin over Ukraine, so that Donald Trump can finally stop the war within his first 24 hours in office.
