Elon Musk Snaps After X User Claims He Was ‘Tripping On Ketamine’ In Resurfaced Video

Tesla CEO Elon Musk A resurfaced video of Elon Musk playing with cutlery has caused him to freak the fork out. The throwback clip — that was shot in March during a visit to US President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey — shows the tech billionaire balancing a contraption he made out of spoons while seated in a formal dining room. As Musk fixates on his little silverware sculpture, one of his baby mamas, Shivon Zilis, silently watches him as she sways in her seat.At the time, an X user tweeted the clip with the caption: “Musk playing with his silverware while tripping on ketamine at Bedminster.” Musk playing with his silverware while tripping on ketamine at Bedminster.pic.twitter.com/2nvI7Wzuri— Molly Ploofkins (@Mollyploofkins) March 22, 2025Over the weekend,The New York Times published a report accusing Musk of using drugs while acting as the de facto head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, prompting the rumour mill to spin out of control on social media.In an attempt to quell the mounting speculation about Musk’s alleged drug abuse, a fan of the Tesla CEO decided to defend him in the weirdest way possible.The fan took to X, formerly Twitter, and retweeted the above post about Musk — with its accusatory caption and bonkers footage — and wrote:“You don’t need ketamine to make these. I always make them,” the user said in an attempt to normalize the behaviour.The same user later added: “Making cutlery towers isn’t evidence that someone’s on drugs. You could take an identical video of me at a dinner.”It doesn’t seem like Musk was thrilled about this clip and its caption making the rounds on his social media platform again, either.“I’m not on ketamine ffs [for fuck’s sake],” Musk snapped in the comments of his defender’s tweet.Musk has admitted in the past to taking ketamine to help with depression, with the caveat that it’s a “prescription,” and that he uses a “small amount” to treat depression. The Times’ report published over the weekend says otherwise. Although it’s unclear if Musk was doing drugs while working as a “special government employee,” sources close to Musk told the outlet that in July 2024, the eccentric mogul was taking enough ketamine to cause bladder problems, which the Times notes is a common side effect of chronic use. The report also alleges that Musk is a fan of Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. “And he travelled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it,” the Times wrote.The Times also notes that ketamine could be prescribed as an antidepressant. But the Food and Drug Administration has warned against it, saying the risks are “abuse and misuse, psychiatric events, increases in blood pressure, respiratory depression (slowed breathing), and lower urinary tract and bladder symptoms.”An Atlantic article describing the drug’s effects on the body found that ketamine use could also lead to impaired cognition, including “delusional thinking, superstitious beliefs, and a sense of specialness and importance.”Related...Elon Musk Explains Why He Has A Black EyeElon Musk's Drug Use Much Greater Than Previously Known: NYTSocial Media Brutally Mocks Elon Musk's Goodbye Note To DOGE
