CNN anchor rips into Elon Musk over 'drug-induced bladder problems'

Erin Burnett believes Elon Musk’s recently discovered drug use is “very disturbing.”

It’s no shocker that the CNN anchor isn’t a fan of President Donald Trump, previously coming after the businessman with a breaking news segment that turned out to be a major blow to the businessman.

She has gone a step further by criticizing the officials he has given governmental authority to, this time being his top White House ally, Elon Musk.

During the latest segment on CNN, the host invited Megan Twohey to her desk to discuss her exploitative piece in the New York Times that allegedly revealed the Tesla founder’s drug use.

The article, which was published on Friday, May 30, takes information from more than a dozen people in Elon’s close circle who report the billionaire’s frequent use of ketamine. Within the piece, one person claimed he uses the dissociative anesthetic on a regular basis and has a past of mixing it with other drugs such as ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms.

While speaking to Erin, the reporter started off by explaining how this story came about.

Megan started: “My colleague Kirsten Grind and I have been reporting on this for months.”

She continued: “What our reporting found was that by the time that [Musk] was giving that interview to Don Lemon in March of 2024, his ketamine habit, which was much more extensive than he acknowledged, by then he was using ketamine on a much more frequent basis, on a sometimes daily basis.”

“We also found that as he rose to political power last year, as he joined Trump on the presidential campaign trail, he was telling people that he was doing so much ketamine that it was causing bladder issues, which is a common effect of chronic use of the drug,” she added.

After her admissions, Erin responded: “It obviously would be very disturbing to, I mean, to imagine what that would be.”

Megan then went on to say that their revelation of the billionaire’s alleged drug use wasn’t even the most “significant” finding they made.

She went on to further elaborate on Elon’s “medication box,” which was mentioned in the article.

“So, we were able to obtain a photo of a medication, a daily medication box that he travels with, broken up to a.m. and p.m. that contained as many as 20 pills,” Twohey mentioned.

“We found in that box that there were pills that had the markings of Adderall, a stimulant.”

Megan concluded: “So what’s significant here is that our reporting found that not only was he doing so much ketamine that he was telling people that it was giving him bladder issues, but that he was also using, appeared to be using, judging by this box, many, many prescription drugs.”
