Speculation about Musk having an addiction or other mental health issue had followed his recent break with Donald Trump
Spacex and Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted his own urinalysis results early Tuesday morning. Speculation about Musk's mental health followed his appearance at the White House 2 weeks ago with a black eye, then tweeting that President Trump was on Epstein's client list, then apologizing for it.
The report's public release may reflect Musk's response to ongoing speculation about his drug use, as noted in a June 6, 2025, New York Times article citing Trump's private claims of Musk's "crazy" behavior linked to drugs, though no evidence supports this beyond anecdotal reports, contrasting with the clean test result.
Musk’s “lol” caption and the timing, suggest a humorous or ironic intent, possibly tied to recent political scrutiny, such as Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s April 2025 bill mandating drug tests for Musk due to his documented 2018 cannabis use on Joe Rogan’s podcast, challenging narratives of his unfitness for government roles.
Based on the available data and my continuous updates, Elon Musk has not explicitly admitted to a drug addiction. However, he has acknowledged using certain substances recreationally or experimentally, which has fueled public and media speculation about his habits.
Public Acknowledgment of Drug Use: Musk famously smoked marijuana on Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2018, an event widely publicized. During the episode, he described it as a one-time experience and stated he doesn’t regularly use it, saying, “I don’t find that particularly helpful.” This incident led to a NASA review of his SpaceX security clearance, but no evidence of ongoing use emerged from that investigation.
