One of the richest people in the world, billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk has strongly denied reports of his drug use. Earlier, the influential US newspaper The New York Times, citing its sources, accused Musk of regularly using various illegal drugs during his presidential campaign.
In response to this situation, Elon Musk made a sharp statement on his social media page:
"I do not use drugs! The New York Times is blatantly lying. I have not hidden that a few years ago, on the advice of a doctor, I tried ketamine to improve my mental state. I have openly stated this on social media. Therefore, this is not news at all. Ketamine helped me get out of depression, but I have not taken it again since then," Musk stressed.
In late May, the New York Times, citing sources, accused Elon Musk of using ketamine, ecstasy, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and other illegal substances during his presidential campaign. The publication even claimed that the entrepreneur took these substances on a daily basis, which seriously affected his health.
In addition, the newspaper wrote that Musk used a mixture of such substances, which also caused him physical problems. However, the entrepreneur’s latest statement on the matter ended with a sharp denial of such accusations.
At the same time, Musk, who actively participated in the US presidential election campaign, admitted that his special attention to his social and mental state had caused a lot of criticism and controversy. He did not hide the fact that from time to time he could fall into a state of depression, in which case he needed medical advice.
These events could have a negative impact on Elon Musk's international image. However, many analysts emphasize that such situations are a natural part of the lives of such personalities. The New York Times, in turn, managed to arouse great public interest through its reports.
So far, Elon Musk has not made a statement about whether he will take legal action on this issue. However, his sharp and open denial indicates that the situation is becoming more serious.
How this incident will continue in the coming days remains one of the topics of interest to everyone. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
