Elon Musk has revealed the results of an extensive drugs test after claims he was taking ketamine while in the White House.

Earlier this month, the billionaire tech mogul's time steering the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) came to an end - and with it, apparently his 'first buddy' status with President Donald Trump.

However, it wasn't just his social media rants about the POTUS that came as a bizarre revelation as rumors surfaced accusing Musk of having taking drugs while working in the White House.

A bombshell report in the New York Times saw sources accuse the 53-year-old of having carried a 'pill box' of medications on his travels and that he had taken drugs, including ketamine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and Adderall, as often as once a day last year.

Now, Musk has put the rumors to bed by posting the results of a laboratory drugs test which show he's 'negative' across the board.

The letter confirming his results reveals he took a urine test on June 11 this year for 19 drugs including amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine and ketamine, all of which came back 'negative.'

He simply captioned the report with 'lol' in his post on Twitter.

The results come as Musk became embroiled in a very public spat with Trump after leaving his post at the head of DOGE which saw the world's richest man link the POTUS to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The pair then continued to throw insults at one another.

Trump reportedly called Vice President JD Vance to be cautious about the spat - and allegedly called Musk an 'addict' who had 'lost his mind' after leaving the administration.

The Washington Post added that Trump had become wary of Musk's supposed use of drugs, reportedly telling insiders that he was a 'big-time drug addict.'

Publicly, however, Trump waived away the allegations, saying to reporters: "I really don't know, I don't think so, I hope not," when asked if he was aware of Musk taking drugs at the White House.

"I wish him well... I just wish him well, very well, actually," he added.

In the NYT report, sources were unable to confirm whether his alleged drug use took place while he led DOGE or during the 2024 campaign bid, but had apparently become so frequent that Musk suffered bladder issues.

At the time of the publication, the father-of-14 lashed out at the report, saying to Fox News: "The New York Times. Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russiagate? Let's move on."

He also took to Twitter, writing that he is 'NOT taking drugs' and that he had 'tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago' but has not 'taken it since then'.

"The New York Times was lying their a** off," he added.
