The Trump White House is typically game to spin any narrative lobbed its way, but reports about Elon Musk’s rampant drug use appear to be another story.
Following The New York Times’ shocking report that Musk, while acting as a senior adviser to Donald Trump, was regularly consuming large amounts of drugs, reporter Megan Twohey appeared on MSNBC to discuss the story. In the process, she revealed that the White House had refused to answer questions put to them about whether or not they had administered drug tests to Musk during his tenure.
Musk’s SpaceX similarly did not respond to questions from the Times, specifically about whether the company gave Musk advance notice of the “random” drug tests it administers to its employees, something it reportedly began doing after he infamously smoked weed during his appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast. SpaceX, as a large government contractor, is required to maintain a drug-free workforce.
Wait, is that what “drug-free workplace” means, that not a single employee does drugs in their off time? That’s wild. I assumed it was a sign companies posted as a CYA in case they wanted to fire anyone for bringing drugs on premises.
What it means in corporate America and what it means at a company that works with government contracts is two different things. The federal government mandates strict drug testing at companies they give contracts to. Most companies dont voluntarily choose to be that restrictive with testing
Notably, the feds have a really hard time keeping good computer people around. It’s hard to run NSA when all of the best programmers and IT people smoke in their off time.
all of the best programmers and IT people smoke in their off time.
Bit much… probably a lot of the best but definitely not all.
Anyway, yes, sorry for being finicky, but also that those same people can probably find another workplace which do not care about that AND pays more.
When Musk goes straight edge his employees are gonna have the worst time.
Yeah. If he just stayed with pot I think we’d be better off. Whatever other cocktail he is on is really not helping anyone. But I think if he drops it he’s going to do something insane with the withdrawals.
He might sleep a lot more though, that wood be good for them all.
Im sure that they’re just trying to build a really strong case against him. I mean drugs are illegal….
So that’s why the cocaine in the White House incident is blowing up
“Shocking”.
OK.
Funny this story then Musk has a black eye. I bet he threw a temper tantrum and they leaked this story.
10, 000 bet he goes born again Christian and “finds Jesus”
He didn’t even inhale that weed on Rogan. I wonder what drugs hes been doing.
Ketamine and ecstasy, apparently.
And shrooms
And Adderall
Those are the best ones.
It’s hard for me to judge a guy who died drugs I’ve enjoyed too harshly. But idk maybe he shouldn’t have the immense amount of power he wields.
“Come clean” in this context means “go sober.” They are all refusing to go sober.
There’s been talks that Elon would use ketamine as a suppository. Also that he was no stranger to fentanyl.

I bet you just pulled that one out of his ass…
Don’t think he did. It would be too much of a pain in the butt
What I don’t get it was widely known he was on drugs and he admitted it multiple times about doing Ketamine. Why is this a storey.
Well, I mean, if they came clean on Musk, they’d have to come clean on everyone, and we know how much drugs they did the last time around.
Sounds fun! I’d love to party with this guy, if only to feel sorry for him.
Lol, lmao even.
You could get close enough to solve problems
Big fucking suprise.
Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard!
