Musk Comments on Drug Use Rumors

American businessman and billionaire Elon Musk has denied claims that he uses drugs. He made this statement in response to a post by American programmer Paul Graham, who commented on another user's March 22 post featuring a video where Musk crafted a figure resembling a spacecraft using forks and spoons.

The user had written above the video that Musk was allegedly under the influence of ketamine. In response, Paul Graham stated that one does not need to be under the influence of ketamine to create such a figure.

"I do not use drugs. The New York Times is lying like crazy," Musk wrote in response to Graham's post on X. He noted that he had taken ketamine prescribed by a doctor several years ago and mentioned that he has already shared his experience with its use on social media, calling it 'not even news.'

At the end of May, the New York Times, citing its sources, reported that Musk had been actively using drugs, including during Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
