It appears Musk is supplying drugs, as more Trump loyalists seem to be high on ketamine.

Question

Looks like Musk is also a drug dealer. Clearly, more and more Trump lapdogs are high on Ketamine.  www.cnn.com/2025/04/02/p...

Answer 1

False. ​There is no evidence to suggest that Musk is a drug dealer and supplying the Trump administration/loyalists with ketamine. According to CNN, Musk has publicly acknowledged using ketamine under medical supervision to manage depression. Aome lawmakers have proposed drug testing for him and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staff, but these discussions do not imply that he is providing the drug to others within the administration. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/18/tech/elon-musk-ketamine-use-don-lemon-interview/index.html ​

I enjoyed your explanation, pointing out that Musk’s ketamine use was for personal medical reasons and  wasn’t used without supervision. I’d add that ketamine is actually FDA-approved in certain cases, which supports the context to his admission. One thing I’m wondering though is that you mention lawmakers proposed drug testing for Musk and DOGE staff. Did any credible source confirm that DOGE is even a real government entity? I haven’t found any evidence it actually exists outside of parody or satire. If DOGE does end up being fictional, that could discredit the claim and make it seem that it started as a joke. Would love to hear if you found anything different.

I like how you specified that Musk's use of ketamine was for medical reasons and how there wasn't direct, credible evidence that he was supplying it to his staff. Statements like the claim above simply lack sufficient evidence to prove the claim is in fact true. I also liked how this fact-check contained evidence that was supplied by a credible source and therefore can be more trustworthy.

I liked your comment as well as the source provided as the article also included other sources directly from Musk himself about his ketamine use.

Good job fact checking on CNN (info can sometimes be fishy) and proving that Musk is only on it himself and is not a direct supplier to anybody as far as we know. If he is able to manage his depression without affecting other people negatively then i believe it is harmless to people

I liked that you explained why Musk's use of ketamine was medical. You further stated that there was no immediate, credible proof to link him with supplying it to his employees. Such claims as the one presented above are invalid because they do not possess enough proof to verify their authenticity. I also liked that this fact-check has information that is derived from a credible source like CNN that makes it more realistic and credible.

Your response is great and dismantles the bizarre claim that billionaire Elon Musk is a drug dealer. It wouldn't make sense for a man with two huge companies to be selling drugs as a side gig. His usage of medical ketamine is most likely where this claim stems from and you explained that well. Another point that was not elaborated on was the benefits of ketamine for depression. Ketamine is proven to alleviate depression symptoms in hours rather than weeks or months like traditional antidepressants.

Your response to the statement that Musk is a "drug dealer" and that people under Trumps wing are using Ketamine strongly debunks the claim with a reliable source. You highlighted how Musks use of Ketamine was medically supervised and given to him in doses that were safe for his use. In the statement made it stated that Musk was supplying others with drugs and didn't specify if that was Ketamine or not. You were able to provide strong evidence that proved that Musk was the only person in his company that was using the drug and he himself was not supplying others. With the source that you used it allowed you to debunk the false statement that was commented with bias intentions.

Answer 2

In this claim they said that musk is supplying drugs and that he is high on ketamine. Well half of this claim is true the other half is probably still being figured out. He does in fact do Ketamine and he claims that Ketamine helps with his depression. He also says that it is a medication ketamine and that a real doctor prescribed it to him. He does also claim that he does not over use the drug because he has to much work to do and with using Ketamine he wouldn't be able to do that. With that being said it seems like he is not supplying drugs to his followers.

The claim is that Musk is supplying ketamine -- I didn't see mention of the claim saying he uses it himself, but it seems you've fact-checked that part and made it "partly true." If he's not supplying ketamine or there's no evidence of it -- wouldn't the claim be marked as false? Or if there's not enough information, could it be N/A, not enough information?

While I appreciate your added information on Elon Musk's personal ketamine use, your fact-check doesn't necessarily back up your point that this claim is false. Your linked CNN article gives substantial information on Elon himself, but in order to strengthen this refutation, it may be helpful to try to find information directly disputing the claim that Elon Musk is a drug dealer, or at least focus your argument more on how this article disproves that.
