@msnow: Elon Musk deflected a reporter’s effort to ask about a New York Times report detailing his alleged drug use during President Donald Trump’s campaign last year and legal drama involving some of the mothers of his children. The question came as Trump bid farewell to Musk's tenure as a "special government employee" in an Oval Office event. Musk began talking over Fox News reporter Peter Doocy when Doocy asked him about the Times report, preventing the journalist from finishing his question. NBC News has not independently confirmed the details in the Times’ article about Musk. White House spokesman Harrison Fields, in a statement to NBC, said, “Few CEOs in America would leave the comfort of the C-suite to serve in the federal government. Yet Elon Musk did just that, joining the Trump Administration’s efforts to cut waste, fraud, and abuse.” “DOGE and its core mission is now embedded in the fabric of the federal government and continues to drive efficiency and save taxpayer dollars,” Fields said. “In just four months, Elon has accomplished more for American taxpayers than many career politicians—a fact often overlooked by the legacy media. ”Fields’ statement did not address Musk’s purported drug use. #elonmusk #newyorktimes #doge #donaldtrump #politics #news
