Donald Trump does not explain the public discussion he had with Elon Musk last Thursday. Therefore, the US president has asked his advisors if Elon Musk’s behavior He could have been related to alleged drug use of the technological tycoonas reported by the CNN television channel.
“In private, it seeks to understand the criticisms of the technological billionaire, while publicly points out that it does not care,” reports the US chain citing a source familiar with these conversations. However, Trump refused to publicly comment on this matter on Friday night from the Air Force One: “I don’t want to comment on your drug use. I don’t know … I don’t know what your situation is”he said then.
This information contrasts with the statements that the US president granted to that same media yesterday, where he said that “he did not even think about Elon” and that he would not talk to Musk “for a while.” “The United States can survive without almost anyone, except me,” He also expressed from the Air Force One to the press, but highlighting that he was just joking.
It is not the first to come to light the consumption of ketamine recognized by Musk, although under medical prescription, according to the executive director of Tesla. A week ago, the newspaper The New York Times published a reported report ‘During the electoral campaign, Elon Musk juggled between drugs and family drama.’
“As Musk entered the orbit of President Trump, his private life became increasingly tumultuous and his drug use was more intense than he believed,” continues the article that has followed other journalistic pieces such as ‘Elon Musk’s chaotic personal life’, as they titled another report five days ago.
During an interview with the same television channel, the billionaire said that “there are times when I have a kind of negative chemical state in the brain, such as depression, I suppose, or depression that is not related to any negative news, and ketamine helps overcome that negative mental state.” In addition, he added that he is prescribed to be able to consume it and that he took “A small amount once every two weeks or something.”
The encounter between Musk and Trump began on Thursday at noon with the president’s words to the criticism of the richest man in the world to the fiscal and budgetary plan promoted by the Republican, which according to estimates will increase by more than 2 billion dollars the public debt of the country. For the owner of X (formerly Twitter), this “undermines” his work to cut the waste in the Federal Government at the head of the government efficiency department, which he formally said goodbye last week.
Musk came to affirm that Trump appeared in the archives of the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which supposedly include the names of his accomplices, in a new climbing of the public confrontation. The president, in turn, said that Musk had gone “crazy” and continued to defend his “great and beautiful bill”, now to discussion in the Senate.
“I don’t care that Elon turns against me, but he should have done it months ago. This is one of the best bills ever presented at Congress. It is a record,” he wrote Thursday on his social Truth network.
