NEW: Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has been accused by family members of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren. Elon has repeatedly had to intervene, a secret that’s spanned generations. Our months-long investigation www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

Elon Musk is now trying to claim he doesn’t do drugs. Here’s our response @nytimes.com

NEW: Megan Twohey and I went deep on Elon Musk’s intense drug use as he rose to political power alongside Trump last year. He was using so much ketamine that he told people it was affecting his bladder. At SpaceX, he is getting warnings ahead of drug tests www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

White House responds to our story: “The drugs that we’re concerned about are the drugs running across the southern border.” No comment on whether Musk’s been drug tested or if Trump was aware

As Tesla’s board lobbies for Elon Musk’s trillion dollar pay package, a reminder that this is NOT an independent board: our @wsj (Pulitzer winning!)investigation from last year: www.wsj.com/tech/elon-mu...

Thanks so much for having me @danahull.bsky.social always fun!!

NEW: Elon Musk gets billions of dollars in federal contracts for his rocket company SpaceX. But documents we saw shows the company - despite a $350 billion plus valuation - likely hasn’t paid federal taxes for years, and may never pay them! w/the great Susanne Craig www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/t...

Elon Musk just posted a drug test dated about two weeks after our investigation published (unverified so far). Reminder that our story covered the period leading up to the election and we also reported he was receiving advance warnings from SpaceX ahead of drug tests

Remembering another time when Elon Musk got down on his knees to apologize www.wsj.com/business/elo...

“White House officials said that Trump’s concern about Musk’s drug use, stemming in part from media reports, was one factor driving the two men apart.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump has been telling people that Musk’s crazy behavior is linked to his drug use. Our investigation, which Trump was briefed on, published last Friday before their falling out www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Elon Musk indeed has A LOT to lose if Trump actually cancels his gov contracts: more than 100 by our last count www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/u...
