Tech mogul Elon Musk posted an apparent copy of his urinalysis results Tuesday to disabuse critics who have accused him of being stoned out of his mind.
The drug test, which was conducted last Tuesday, showed that the world’s richest man was negative for just shy of two dozen substances, including ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and more, despite media accusations of him doping.
“Lol,” Musk posted on X with a purported photo of the results around 3:44 a.m. ET.
For many drugs, urine tests usually only identify substances for one to seven days after use, though it depends on which ones. The test Musk posted makes clear urine was sampled because it notes the creatinine level was normal.
The billionaire tech magnate has long denied accusations that he is a drug addict. Last month, a bombshell New York Times story alleged that he was a frequent drug user during the 2024 campaign.
This included accusations of him taking ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, ketamine, possibly Adderall and traveling with a box of about 20 pills while having bladder issues.
Musk has admitted to using a “small amount” of ketamine, a powerful anesthetic used to treat anxiety and pain, in the past to deal with mental health struggles, but has been adamant that he no longer uses the potentially addictive drug that led to actor Mathew Perry’s death.
Last year, a Wall Street Journal report alleged that his use of Ambien, the sleep medication, rattled board members at Tesla. That same report also claimed Musk used cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, mushrooms and ketamine.
Rumors and speculation about the billionaire tycoon’s potential relationship with the treacherous world of drugs have been fueled by his erratic behavior and seemingly abrupt mood swings.
Earlier this month — and seemingly out of nowhere — Musk went ballistic on President Trump in a fiery blizzard of scathing X posts, accusing the world’s most powerful man’s team of suppressing the Epstein files because the commander-in-chief was implicated in them.
Musk later deleted that post. He also griped that Trump wouldn’t have won the 2024 election without his deep pockets and suggested that the president should be impeached.
The nuclear screed against Trump came days after the president gave the billionaire a chummy send-off in the Oval Office and amid bubbling frustrations Musk had over the deficit impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which he bashed as an “abomination.”
Trump privately lamented that his former billionaire buddy was “a big-time drug addict,” the Washington Post reported. But in public, Trump wouldn’t go there.
“I really don’t know. I don’t think so. I hope not,” Trump recently told a reporter when asked if Musk brought drugs into the White House.
Since Musk’s nuclear screed against Trump, the billionaire had a mea culpa, saying, “I regret some of my posts about President [Trump] last week. They went too far.”
Musk’s biographer, Walter Isaacson, has previously described the tech guru as having a “demon mode” of sorts in which he would experience rapid mood swings. Musk has publicly described his mind as a “storm” that most wouldn’t want to experience.
