Elon Musk’s drug addiction dominated Friday’s news cycle as New York Times published a threadbare revelation of how much Elon Musk is overdosing on Ketamine, a drug that he earlier acknowledged to have used under prescription. At his joint press conference with President Donald Trump which was supposed to be his farewell from the White House, Elon Musk was made uncomfortable by the drug question. But more uncomfortable were those who spotted that Elon had a black eye. “New York Times, is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate? Is it the same organization? I think it is!” Elon Musk asked defiantly when the drug question popped up. “I think the judge just ruled against New York Times for their lies about the Russiagate hoax and that they might have to give back that Pulitzer Prize,” he added. But what happened to his eyes?“Yoo did Elon Musk get straight up punched in the face? That’s a left hook black eye if I’ve ever seen one. Might explain his delayed talk?” one user wrote on X. Some social media users concluded that he was actually on drugs but then Elon Musk was asked about the visible black spot.

‘I wasn’t anywhere near France’

Elon Musk cracked a joke when he was asked about his black eye and said he was not anywhere near France — referring to French President Emmanuel Macron’s ‘slapgate’ that never was. “Well, I wasn’t anywhere near France… I was just walking around with lil X, and I said, ‘Go ahead,’ punch me in the face, and he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face actually does,” Elon Musk said as Donald Trump also doubted that it was done by X.
