Summary
āI have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And heās not funny. Like, at all,ā a senior Trump administration official told Rolling Stone. āHe makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you donāt lap up his humor. I keep using the word āannoyingā; a lot of people who have to deal with him do.ā
Muskās insufferable behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs, the publication reports, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to be barely able to hide his immense dislike of the DOGE chief and State Department officials routinely call him āCrazy Uncle Elonā behind his back.
Other officials have suggested subjecting Musk to a mandatory drug test, which he has said is a āgreat ideaā for federal employees, as a way to push him out of the door. The Tesla CEO has denied taking any illegal drugs, although numerous people claim to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms behind closed doors, the Wall Street Journal reports.
