After weeks of online speculation that he took a cocktail of drugs while in the White House, Elon Musk has finally publicly responded and shut down the claims.
For those not up to speed, The New York Times put out a shocking report claiming that the Tesla CEO would take drugs including ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, ketamine and Adderall, as often as once a day last year.
The publication made the bombshell claims that Musk travelled with a daily supply of 20 pills and took ketamine so frequently it left him with bladder problems.
But now, the tech billionaire, 53, has put an end to the damning accusations by sharing his drug test report for the world to see.

On Tuesday (17 June), Musk took to X to post a screenshot of the results, after being tested for a variety of different substances including ketamine, ecstasy, and fentanyl - and it all came back negative.
He simply wrote ‘lol,’ alongside the snap of his urine test, which seemingly was collected last week according to the dates on the document.
However, although Musk is as it appears, all-clear on the drug use, some social media users have expressed concern after spotting another detail in the results.

People have pointed out that his creatinine results came back as 47.16 mg/dL.
Creatinine is the waste product of creatine, which the muscles use to make energy, and high levels can sometimes signal kidney issues. Creatine can be bought in powder form for people wishing to 'bulk up', as part of a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Commenting on his result, one X user joked: "Boy you on that creatine ain't ya,” with a second adding: “Me not trying to looking at those creatine levels…”
A third chimed in with: “Congrats Elon Musk. Watch those creatine levels. Drink more water.”

Meanwhile, a fourth added: “too much creatine!” and a fifth questioned: “Your secret is 47mg of Creatine? Is that daily?”
However, another user took to the replies to explain: “That's creatinine not creatine. Creatinine is muscle byproduct and used as a basic measure of kidney function and to assess kidney damage.
“A low result generally good but can also mean muscle wastage. People who work out heavy will typically have elevated levels.”

Despite the concern, the test results are stated as 'normal' on the document.
The Kidney Research UK website explains that creatinine is 'produced at a fairly constant rate from one day to the next, and is only removed from the body by kidney filtration'.
It says: "This means that the creatinine level in the blood stream can be used to track how well the kidneys are clearing waste products: if a person’s kidney function falls, their creatinine level will go up."
