The billionaire is also alleged to have used ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms — and sources suggest it could have affected his work at DOGE
The world’s richest man, who put about $288 million towards Trump’s re-election campaign last year and has been a key member of his inner circle since, also carried around packaging labelled as Adderall pills, a stimulant used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and other conditions, according to photographs seen by the publication.
Musk stepped down from his role in government this week as his contracted time as a special government employee came to an end, and has lamented the criticism aimed at the cost-cutting agency and the reputational damage his companies took.
Musk was asked about the New York Times article in an appearance at the White House alongside Trump on Friday. “Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russiagate?” he replied, referring to claims that Trump had been compromised by Russia during his 2016 presidential election victory. “Is it the same organisation? Let’s move on.”
I don’t like this theory, cause it implies that everything he has done is because of the drugs, and not because he’s a megalomaniac narcissistic greedy moron.
My theory is that his PR people are “leaking” these stories that he can rebuild his image as a recovering addict. This will let them craft a sympathetic story and they will hope that we’ll forget that he’s a racist asshole.
Yeah, no amount of drugs could make me do that.
Bingo, he’s the fall man for the White House right now. If you view American politics under the lens of professional wrestling it makes a lot of sense. Musk is doing a heel turn so he attracts more flak on his way out.
Who’s the secretary of education again? Lol
Three rabid skunks in a pantsuit.
I think this is partway to the truth.
This is also PR for Trump, who should still hold the majority of the blame for the disastrous DOGE firing spree and violations of private data on citizens. You know, for letting this billionaire Nazi prick buy his way into the White House in the first place.
Instead, they’ll say Trump thought Muskrat had a good head on his shoulders and didn’t realize Elon was so drugged out and causing problems. Poor Trump just had no idea.
Either a hero when it works, or a victim when it doesn’t, never any personal accountability.
Typical Narcissist/Sociopath (i.e., giant cunt).
If he wants to use this angle in my mind he’s going to have to do way more than a weekend at Betty Ford. If he retracts his antagonism for unions at his plants and rehires those he fired would be a start. He’d also have to do a full 180 and admit how hard the work of government is and his actions with DOGE were more destructive than constructive. He’d had to publicly apologize for his behavior and provide restitution to all those his actions negatively impacted. A big part of that would be fighting against the trump administration and its attacks on racial and gender minorities.
I’ve learned to not give them that much credit. My theory is muskrat is just an addict.
The would mean he’d have to stop using drugs. I don’t see that happening.
But didn’t they hate druggies, and all the fentanyls brought by the bad bad illegals, etc. etc.?
Exactly, it lowers inhibitions, it doesn’t carve a completely different asshole.
Yeah, no one becomes an asshole after shrooms.
But people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (and related Cluster B disorders) have been known to come out of the psychedelic experience with an even bigger egomaniacal God complex than they had going into the experience, counterintuitively.
I came out with “nothing matters” but to me that was good cause I was full of anxiety. I suppose if you’re rich as fuck, you don’t have real-world anxiety, and you come out with the same as me, that could be pretty dangerous.
This is both interesting and concerning.
Yeah, that makes sense now that I think about it. I used to think it would make them more sympathetic and empathetic towards people other than their selves, but that’s clearly not the case for everyone.
“I am one with everything” vs. “I am everything”
He’s a drug addict, it’s not a theory he’s on hella drugs, he IS on hella drugs
Right. He’s a Nazi first and foremost, with or without the drugs.
Yep, the drugs aren’t a cause, they are an effect of being a greedy, narcissistic, megalomaniac, moron.
being a megalomaniac narcissistic greedy moron is why he’s taking K and keeping himself in a manic, delusional state without being able to tell why everyone is so mad at him.
a narcissist really can’t understand that they did wrong, they’re able to bend every other belief except that one.
Also, is there any proof. There’s so many articles that it gets old quick. And as a base we don’t really create memes or content to keep this stuff fresh
