Here’s our story: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Elon Musk just posted a drug test dated about two weeks after our investigation published (unverified so far). Reminder that our story covered the period leading up to the election and we also reported he was receiving advance warnings from SpaceX ahead of drug tests

Inside the battles that shattered Trump and Musk’s alliance Behind the scenes, what led up to the spectacular flame-out of the Trump-Musk relationship and public feud.

“White House officials said that Trump’s concern about Musk’s drug use, stemming in part from media reports, was one factor driving the two men apart.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump has been telling people that Musk’s crazy behavior is linked to his drug use. Our investigation, which Trump was briefed on, published last Friday before their falling out www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

U.S. Agencies Fund, and Fight With, Elon Musk. A Trump Presidency Could Give Him Power Over Them.

Elon Musk indeed has A LOT to lose if Trump actually cancels his gov contracts: more than 100 by our last count www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/u...

Musk is also contradicting his own statements from last year, when he said he was talking small amounts of “prescription” ketamine

Elon Musk is now trying to claim he doesn’t do drugs. Here’s our response @nytimes.com

Elon Musk and SpaceX Face Federal Reviews After Violations of Security Reporting Rules

A reminder that Musk holds a “top secret” security clearance through SpaceX and is supposed to be reporting all drug use to the federal government…and he hasn’t www.nytimes.com/2024/12/17/t...

White House responds to our story: “The drugs that we’re concerned about are the drugs running across the southern border.” No comment on whether Musk’s been drug tested or if Trump was aware

Elon Musk Has Used Illegal Drugs, Worrying Leaders at Tesla and SpaceX Some executives and board members fear the billionaire’s use of drugs—including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms and ketamine—could harm his companies.

And of course this follows our reporting from last year at the @wsj that revealed for the first time that Musk was a drug user www.wsj.com/business/elo...

This story also goes deep on all the family drama Musk has been dealing with in his push to procreate, including new details on how he is breaking a custody agreement by carrying his son X around everywhere

NEW: Megan Twohey and I went deep on Elon Musk’s intense drug use as he rose to political power alongside Trump last year. He was using so much ketamine that he told people it was affecting his bladder. At SpaceX, he is getting warnings ahead of drug tests www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Couldn’t have said it better myself, thanks @rmac.bsky.social

Thank you @seanokane.bsky.social

“Nothing to see here” is how Johnson is playing this to his millions of followers on X

As part of this months long investigation, I learned that some of Johnson’s employees have now filed federal complaints against him about the NDAs, and his longtime longevity doctor has left his startup after concerns about the safety of the supplements Johnson sells to customers

NEW: Bryan Johnson has spent years curating his image as a longevity guru, including in a new Netflix doc. But behind the scenes, he has wielded NDAs to cover up the unfavorable results of his biohacking, side effects of the supplements he sells and escapades in his personal life. shorturl.at/BFe5w
