      This… most drugs can’t be detected unless they’re currently in your system. Give it 24-48 hours and your test will be clean. Marijuana is one of the few that can appear in urine weeks after using it, and that’s usually if you have a fair amount of body fat. The skinnier you are, the shorter period it’s traceable.

      Let’s see him submit to a hair test.

    Well I didn’t see him piss in the cup so I refuse to believe this. We must see him pee to ensure he didn’t use a bag of piss.

      He apparently hires people to do other shit for him and lies about it, so I will consider this no different

    One study published in the International Journal of Legal Medicine found that ketamine can be detected in hair up to 4 months after a single dose.11 Ketamine and its metabolites were also detected in scalp samples collected by a wet cotton swab up to 48 hours after administration of the drug. In a study of urine samples collected from hospitalized children who had received ketamine as an anesthetic, ketamine could be detected in the urine up to 11 days after drug administration and its metabolites could be detected for up to 14 days.12

    So he went 11 days free of ketamine?

      Never liked him to begin with, but back then I saw him as a visionary. Seems he has been having visions all along.

      Many drugs permanently alter your brain. He could’ve been smart at some point but he just took too many/the wrong drugs. Now his intelligence is low enough that he thought it would be cool to hang out with Trump.

      …but let’s be honest: You don’t get that rich by being smart. You get that rich by being lucky (and a total scumbag).

      Cuz he was quieter. When I used to think he might be smart is when I never watched any of his interviews or read any of his tweets.

      Better to keep your mouth shut and be called a fool than to open it and prove them right.

      My assumption is that he paid a meme troll group to make propaganda about him.

      I’ve literally seen “memes” claiming he was some kind of genius because of an attached video of some guy cutting a carton box to fit an object in during a packaging job.

      Pretty sure mr “my dad owns stakes in an emerald mine” never did any manual labour in his life.

    Well I for one am perfectly convinced that patient TX45788288 is clean and free of drugs. Of course, I don’t really know who that is. Probably isn’t Musk though. Even if it is, I’m quite sure that he could easily find someone to piss in a cup for him for a million or so. Hell, I hate the dirt bag and I would have done it for a million bucks.

    Also, I would never impute the integrity of Jennifer Taylor of Fastest Labs of South Austin, but I think maybe her boss should check to see if she suddenly jumped into a new tax bracket.

        You know how some people carry water bottles with them all the time? Same thing with musk and that kid. He just decants it when he needs fluids.

      Not to mention that the drugs he’s accused of abusing don’t usually stay in your system for a long time.

        Specifically urine. I’d love for hair and blood tests like those that get fucked by the “war on drugs” go through

          Sure. Ketamine, shrooms, and molly (or MDMA) were the primary substances the inside sources claimed he was abusing over the last year.

          Shrooms never show up on a urine test, as far as I’m aware. Ketamine and MDMA only remain detectable in urine for a week or two, sometimes as long as a month for those with really high BMI, very low activity levels, or a slow metabolism. So, he’d simply have to stop taking drugs for a couple weeks and he’d likely piss clean. This test wouldn’t disprove any of the claims that he was rampantly abusing drugs during Trump’s campaign or while “working/consulting” at DOGE (he only left government “service” a few weeks ago).

          Besides all of that, there are tons of ways to easily defeat a urine drug test. You can literally walk into just about any headshop (stores that sell devices to smoke marijuana, e.g. bowls, vapes, bongs, etc) and they will almost certainly sell fake penises that come preloaded with “fake urine” that can pass a drug test. You wear the fake penis contraption like a garter belt under your boxers/underwear and when you go in for the urine test, you simply aim the fake penis into the cup and use whichever method that product has for dispensing its contents.

          And that is just one method for getting around urine tests. The bottom line: There is literally no reason anyone should accept this “evidence” as proof that Elon Musk is not abusing drugs.

      The fact that you can conceive if paying someone $1M to pee in a cup is how I can tell you’re not rich. If you were, it would have been a few thousand at most but more likely to be a threat of some sort to compel the other person to help you.

    Most of these drugs are pretty much undetectable after abstaining for a few days. Big deal. Negative cannabis use surprised me a little but he probably left it behind when he picked up his ketamine binge. That said who the hell advertises their test results like this wtf?

      Assuming that he actually has been tested, or that this is his test results would be a mistake, regardless of whether he is on drugs or not. The man is as pathological a liar as Trump.

    Fun story time: I once got informed of a drug test for a job I’d just accepted after a weekend of hard partying. I was on prescription opiods, Adderall, and ketamine. They called Monday morning at 9 to tell me I had to piss within 4 hours. I hadn’t even slept yet. I should have lit that test up like a Christmas tree for everything except thc. It came back clean. They never asked about my prescriptions. I have 2 theories. 1) they don’t actually test. 2) if too many things light up, they assume it’s a calibration issue.
