A recent New York Times article accused tech entrepreneur Elon Musk of alleged drug use during visits to the Trump White House, sparking backlash and denials from Musk himself.
In response, Musk released the results of a comprehensive urine test, which he says was conducted to address the claims head-on. The test showed no traces of any drugs, effectively countering the allegations laid out in the report.
“Negative across the board,” Musk stated, posting the lab report on social media as proof.
Supporters of Musk and President Trump have criticized the article as a politically motivated hit piece, accusing the Times of trying to undermine influential figures aligned with the Trump administration.
Critics also argue that the story was part of a broader effort to paint the administration as chaotic and unstable by suggesting that close allies are involved in substance abuse. Similar accusations were recently floated against Pete Hegseth, another known Trump ally, with unverified claims of excessive drinking.
The White House has not commented on the article, but conservative commentators are calling it an attempt to discourage other high-profile individuals from openly supporting or working with the president.
