Musk’s Drug Use on Campaign Trail Stoked Concerns, NYT Says

Elon Musk was using drugs more heavily than previously known while on the campaign trail to help elect Donald Trump president, worrying some people close to the mercurial billionaire, the New York Times reported.

The chief executive officer of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX traveled with a medication box that held about 20 pills and was taking so much ketamine that it was affecting his bladder, according to the report, which cited private messages and interviews with people who know or work with Musk. He also took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms on occasions, the New York Times said.
