Trump Asks Aides if They Think Musk’s Behavior Could Be Related to Alleged Drug Use, Source Says

  • Donald Trump privately asked advisors if Elon Musk's recent erratic behavior might be linked to alleged drug use within the last 48 hours.
  • This inquiry follows a New York Times report stating Musk used ketamine frequently, sometimes daily, mixing it with other drugs in 2024.
  • Their alliance deteriorated after a dispute over a domestic policy bill, leading to public insults, competing threats, and Trump's threats to cancel Musk's government contracts.
  • Trump called Musk's behavior "crazy" and said the country would be fine without contracts, while Musk backed off decommissioning a key SpaceX spacecraft under pressure.
  • The dispute risks costing Musk billions in contracts and could reshape Republican alliances, though some Republicans and leaders hope for reconciliation.
