Donald Trump, in his private talks, attributes Ilon Musk’s “crazy” behavior to drug use, citing a recent New York Times report on the personal life of the billionaire businessman.

In particular, the NYTs, citing two sources, report that Donald Trump, who was informed about the US newspaper’s publication on drug use by Ilon Musk, allegedly told his associates in the last 24 hours that his “crazy” behavior is related to Musk.

A New York Times report said he was regularly consuming ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms on his rise to politics. Drug use allegedly intensified as it donated $ 275 million to Trump’s election campaign and later gained significant power through his role as head of the “government efficiency department” or otherwise Doge.

Sources told the Times that Musk is significantly addicted to ketamine, consuming large doses sometimes daily instead of a “small quantity” he had said in interviews that he received “about once every two weeks”. “If you have used excessive ketamine, you can’t really do a job, and I have a lot of work,” Musk had said before to journalist Don Lemon in March 2024, downgrading the use of ketamine he did.
