Elon Musk was high on ketamine, carried daily ‘box of pills’ as he cozied up to Trump, report alleges

While he spent tens of millions of dollars boosting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign — working his way to a prominent inner-circle role — Elon Musk was reportedly using drugs “intensely” and regularly, including “chronically” using the powerful anesthetic ketamine to the point where it affected his bladder.

The world’s wealthiest man — who is leaving the White House this week after deploying an army of loyalists across the federal government to fire workers and slash budgets — was allegedly using ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and Adderall, which he kept in a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, sources told The New York Times.
