Billionaire Musk said he did not use ketamine drugs, refuting the “New York Times” report that he used the drug and other drugs in large quantities. “I tried prescription ketamine a few years ago and it was mentioned on X, so this isn't news at all. It helped get rid of negative feelings, but I haven't used it since,” Musk wrote on X, accusing the newspaper of “lying.” The New York Times said on Friday that Musk used drugs more frequently during Trump's presidential campaign than previously known, often taking ketamine, and occasionally using ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. A New York Times spokesperson defended the “well-sourced” report, saying that the reporter interviewed more than a dozen people who knew or worked with Musk and examined private text messages, legal documents, and photo evidence.
