Elon Musk issued a curt rebuke of ketamine abuse allegations after a viral clip of his erratic behavior at a dinner recirculated online.

The clip—taken in March during a visit to Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey—shows Musk balancing spoons at a dinner table while one of his baby mamas, Shivon Zilis, watches in silent concern.

At the time, X user and “retired army medic” Molly Ploofkins tweeted the clip with the caption, “Musk playing with his silverware while tripping on ketamine at Bedminster.”

    oh come on. this is the most harmless behavior of the year. people make a big story out of anything.

    instead of focusing on actual problems, such as Musk tried to cut social spending, people talk about this.

      No one is denying why he’s a dirt bag. The drug thing is important for reasons of operating in the White House while on drugs.

      It’s like a cop pulling you over for hitting some kids and you might have a no fault insurance to help you escape the really bad consequence over that but the out of date driver ID is what does you in.

      It’ll be looked at as a technicality. The more the better

      Well, they are trying to say that he’s on too many drugs to function in an attempt to make people dislike him. Don’t forget a lot of people want him to cut social spending, so that’s not a negative for them
