    Can we overlook the potential fact that he’s not on drugs and focus on him admitting that he acts the way he acts WITHOUT drugs as an excuse?

    So we’re just supposed to believe that the richest man on earth can’t just make up a form, pay wm employee for clean urine, or just pay off the doctor

    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.

      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.

      Why pay a milion? Just make his kid piss in the cup, he already carries the poor thing with him everywhere.

        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.

    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

    The fact that this list says there’s no ketamine in his system, makes it super suspicious.

    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?

    So he took long enough to have the drugs be completely out of his system. So what? I would have believed it if he had posted a clean bill of health within 24 hours of the accusations.

      Or he bought someone’s piss. Ot synthetic piss. Or he diluted with Gatorade. There’s a dozen ways to beat a piss test, even for poor people.

    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.
