Dem Petitions WH For Info About Musk’s Drug Use

June 4, 2025 Elon Musk, Trump Administration

The acting top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked President Trump on Wednesday for information about Elon Musk’s alleged drug use during the 2024 presidential campaign and whether he was consuming illicit substances while serving as a top adviser to the president in the White House.

Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts, the acting ranking member of the panel, wrote in a letter to Mr. Trump that he is investigating the extent of Musk’s alleged drug use and asked the president to turn over information about what he or other administration officials knew about Musk’s supposed consumption while he was working as a special government employee.

“The drastic and erratic nature of Mr. Musk’s decisions and actions as a government employee, coupled with the reports of his drug use, begs the question of whether Mr. Musk was under the influence of illicit substances while working in your White House,” Lynch wrote. “The American people deserve to know whether Mr. Musk was under the influence while he gleefully took a ‘chainsaw’ to our federal government.”

Read the full article. Last week the New York Times reported that Musk was using so much ketamine that he suffered bladder damage. Musk was also reportedly using ecstasy and mushrooms while stumping for Trump last year. Of note, the rep seen below is running for New Jersey governor.

The latest report on Elon Musk’s drug use is exactly why I introduced a bill requiring drug testing for him and his DOGE staff.

If you’re going to play pretend as a Special Government Employee with access to highly sensitive information, the bare minimum should be sound… pic.twitter.com/fVOXK3g0fs
