The Internet won’t leave Elon Musk alone! The Tesla CEO has been in the news in recent days for the wrong reasons. Recently, reports of the billionaire being addicted to drugs have appeared on social media. This news came right before he resigned from his position as the advisor of the Department of Government (DOGE) in the Trump administration.
“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” he wrote in his post. As a series of mixed reactions flocked to the social media sites, Elon Musk’s appearance at the Oval Office raised eyebrows among many.

As per sources, when the billionaire business magnate came to meet President Donald Trump, people could not help but notice a huge black eye on him. When Elon Musk was questioned about it at a press conference, he said that his 5-year-old son, X, was the culprit. The duo was reportedly playing, and Musk allowed the little one to do it. Later, in the conference at the White House, the former advisor noted that DOGE had reportedly saved $175 billion during his tenure.
“I was just horsing around with lil’ X, and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face and he did,” said Musk—even the president, whose interaction with Lil X went viral. Musk has children with four different women.
From his marriage to Justine Musk, he fathered six children. He went on to have six more children in the last few years with two different women out of wedlock. Most recently, he has been making news about having a secret child with author Ashley St. Clair in 2024.
While the popular figure has been slammed for wanting to have more kids when the world’s population is already 8 billion, A year ago, the prodigy posted on X, “I’m doing my best to encourage more people to become parents and ideally have three or more kids, so humanity can grow. The population collapse in most countries is a tragedy. Sales of adult diapers should never exceed sales of baby diapers!”
On Valentine’s Day, Ashley St. Clair took to X and wrote, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.” As the update went viral, Elon Musk did not confirm anything, which clearly means it’s true.
Meanwhile, eagle-eyed fans on X have come up with their theories about Elon Musk’s logic of his son punching him. One person wrote that Musk officially blamed his black eye on his 5-year-old son, claiming he told him to punch him as a game. However, on closer inspection, you can see other bruising and scratches.”
Consequently, others on the platform agreed with Elon Musk’s claims and resonated with their own experiences. “To be fair, my 2-year-old punches me in the face at least twice per day,” wrote one user. Many others connected the black eye to him being high on drugs.

This latest speculation came after The New York Times claimed that the father of 13 allegedly uses drugs, which has affected his bladder. While neither Musk nor his team has confirmed anything, when asked about the drug allegations, the billionaire quickly dismissed the question and said, “Let’s move on. Okay. Next Question.”

Whether Elon Musk is under the influence of drugs or is suffering from a black eye, it’s clear that with fame comes a different kind of weird and annoying media scrutiny. As the world awaits Elon Musk’s next set of professional updates, with or without President Trump, we really wish he’d be left alone for a bit to relax, rejuvenate and just live!
