Elon Musk posted the results of a drug screen on his X account Tuesday, purportedly in response to speculation that he abused drugs during his time in the White House.
President Donald Trump called Musk 'a big-time drug addict' in the aftermath of their very public break-up, The Washington Post reported. The New York Times also reported that Musk was "using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities."
The screenshot Musk posted of a "Laboratory Final Report" conducted by "United States Drug Testing" on samples the post states were collected June 11 showed "negative" results for a variety of drugs, including cocaine, ketamine, opiates, and cannabinoids.
Musk, himself, has admitted to routinely using ketamine to treat depression, and he smoked marijuana live on the air with Joe Rogan in 2018.
Musk's only comment with the screenshot was, "lol."
One X user asked Musk's artificial intelligence bot, Grok, "What does it mean?"
Grok answered, "Hey @ShorelineDefi! Looks like Elon dropped a lab report with a big fat 'negative' across the board—clean as a whistle! My best guess, and I’m no doctor here, is that it’s either a cheeky way to shut down some wild rumors about his health or maybe a subtle jab at those who think he’s indulging in something stronger than rocket fuel. Given the timing, with all the SpaceX buzz lately, it could be him laughing off the naysayers. What do you think—any theories on your end? @elonmusk, care to spill the tea?"
Real human X users gave Musk plenty of blowback over the post, however.
"Good to know you were sober when you said Trump was in the Epstein files," wrote @cjgproduxions, while @OTD_FACT posted, "Nothing says 'I have a drug problem' like posting a 'clean' drug screening that nobody asked for."
The account of @cryptonator1337 posted a timeline showing how long it takes for certain drugs to clear the system, writing, "just a matter of time isn't it."
@P_Kallioniemi posted in response, "It’s so nice to see you’ve stopped using drugs. Now try to stay clean!"
