Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk faced scrutiny as top executives from his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, expressed concerns regarding his reported drug use, as per The Wall Street Journal.
Musk swiftly responded, vehemently denying the allegations raised by his company’s management. He took to social media platform X, of which he is the owner, stating that “not even trace quantities” of drugs were ever detected in his system during the past three years of random drug testing.
Elon Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, labeled The Wall Street Journal’s report as based on “false facts.” Spiro emphasized that Musk had undergone drug testing, especially following the 2018 incident where Musk smoked marijuana during a podcast. Since then, no traces of illicit substances have been found in Musk’s drug tests.
The report claimed that Musk engaged in drug usage at parties, including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and psychedelic drugs, while guests were required to sign non-disclosure agreements. Executives at Tesla and SpaceX expressed concerns over this alleged behavior, fearing its potential impact on Musk’s companies.
Elon Musk’s reputation has often been associated with controversy, but he remains a prominent figure in the tech and space exploration industries.
