Trump Claims Credit for Planting Elon Musk Drug Use Story in New York Times

Donald Trump has been targeting Elon Musk in his recent attacks, as revealed by author Michael Wolff. The president has been discussing Musk's alleged drug use with associates, claiming to have tipped off The New York Times about it. The Times reported that Musk was using ketamine, Adderall, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms during Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, which he supported with millions of dollars. Musk denies these allegations.

Wolff shared insights from Trump's phone calls, where Musk was a frequent topic. Trump has reignited his feud with Musk this week, criticizing him for opposing a spending bill. This led Trump to publicly threaten to cut Musk's government subsidies and send him back to South Africa.

According to Wolff, Trump boasted about informing The New York Times about Musk's drug use, although it's unclear if this is true. The Times based its report on interviews with people who know Musk and private messages they obtained. The White House did not comment on the matter.

Wolff also mentioned that Musk and Trump's fallout has reached a critical point, with Musk considering forming a new political party if certain legislation fails. Musk has threatened to create an \"America Party\" if a specific spending bill passes, indicating his dissatisfaction with the current political landscape.
