Officials surrounding President Donald Trump have raised alarm over Elon Musk mid claims he is ‘high’.

The Tesla owner and Space X chief was brought into the US administration to improve efficiency in the US and proceeded to get rid of some important departments.

But his behavior has been questioned by leading officials in the Whitehouse and some have even walked out of meetings according to reports in Rolling Stone

The publication says “Musk has gnawed at the patience of an array of high-­ranking administration officials, to the point that — according to this official and two others — Trump lieutenants have walked out of meetings and earnestly asked one another if they thought Musk was high.”

Administration officials joked to one another about subjecting Musk to mandatory drug testing, which Musk himself has said would be a “great idea” for federal employees. But a lawyer for Musk insist he has “regularly and randomly drug-tested at SpaceX and has never failed a test.”

Musk has fired tens of thousands of workers after being made DOGE chief and he has been criticized for his approach which some people have described as ‘reckless’ as

Not long after Trump’s 2024 wins, which the world’s richest man supported with $290 million in political spending, the Tesla chief threatened to fire every federal worker not responding to an email which asked them: “What did you do last week?”

The Mirror reported how Elon Musk doubled down in a spat with Donald Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro.

The US President commanded unprecedented loyalty from his administration and advisors after entering the White House for his second term on January 20. He handpicked those who would support him every step of the way so he could smash through his vision for America.

But his tariffs on friends and foes alike has finally exposed fraying relations within his administration as his advisors struggle to articulate how short term pain will seriously lead to economic prosperity in America.

Musk as made his first serious break from the Trump administration when he called out the President’s senior trade advisor Peter Navarro and branded him a “moron” in a post on X/Twitter over Mr Trump’s controversial tariff plan. His remarks were in response to an interview Mr Navarro gave to CNBC, where he spoke about Tesla being a “car assembler”

The Wall Street Journal has reported he is known him to use illegal drugs, including LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms. This was allegedly a source of concern for board members at his companies, but Musk has denied using illegal drugs apart from prescription ketamine.

The billionaire said he doesn’t drink and doesn’t “know how to smoke pot,” Musk has previously posted on his social media network X about his prescription use of ketamine, a drug used primarily in hospitals as an anesthetic but which is increasingly being explored as a potential treatment for depression.
