Tech Tycoon and former first Buddy Elon Musk talk about the attention of the media about his alleged drug use in a way that some people say will do nothing to refute the rumors.
Rumors about the supposed drug use of Musk have been circulating in the shamog for months, with large publications that the former head of Doge reportedly used substances such as Ketamine and Ecstasy while he was on the campaign track with President Donald Trump.
Musk refuted these claims during a Q&A in the Oval Office last month and in his last effort placed the results of a urine back test on X earlier this week.
In a photo of the urine test, the results showed that he tested negatively on illegal drugs such as cocaine, fentanyl and marijuana, as well as prescribed medicines that are sometimes abused such as opiates, benzodiazepines and barbiturates.
Levels of waste products in his urine were also measured and normal results.
But Dr. Holly Schiff, a recognized clinical psychologist who is familiar with urine examination as a diagnostic tool for substance use, DailyMail.com told that his last message is not as convincing as he thinks it is.
Although she has not treated Musk and does not know the details of his tests, Dr. Do not Schiff this website: ‘Many recreational medicines clearly from urine in one to three days.
“The test that was done when it was and shared publicly reminds me that it was more a PR -weather to prove his critics wrong and post it on social media with the” fun “adds a performative layer that can invite skepticism.”
And in particular one detail she noticed.
On a photo of the urine examination, the results showed that he tested negatively on illegal drugs such as cocaine, fentanyl and marijuana, as well as prescribed medicines that are sometimes abused such as opiates, benzodiazepines and barbiturates
In his urine examination, the creatinine content of Musk is 47.16 milligrams per deciliter urine (mg/dl) – nothing immediately alarming as the normal range is 20 to 300 mg/dl.
A creatinin test is a measure of how well the kidneys do their job to filter waste from the blood
But creatinine is typically above 50 in adult men, who tend to have a higher muscle mass than women, and creatinine is a by -product of muscle metabolism.
Dr. Schiff said: ‘The low creatinine content suggests urine peeling, whether it is deliberately to rinse fabrics or unintentionally, due to a high liquid intake. So this is a less concentrated sample. ‘
At the same time, she pointed out that certain medicines are relatively quickly released from the body.
Ketamine passes from the body in about 12 hours.
And, Dr. Schiff added: ‘This was also a one -time planned test that can be easily prepared; Therefore, not equivalent to randomized tests in time. ‘
A planned test is a test that a person can prepare for by refraining from drugs for the time needed to fall under detectable barriers.
Musk’s 2024 antics – from an apparent Nazi -greeting to removing reporters and waving with a chainsaw during a political event – have only fueled speculation about his drug use
Another way to fall under the threshold is to dilute drug concentrations in urine by overhydrate, a method that will also lower urine creatinine content.
Dr. Johnny Parvani, an emergency doctor who founded an IV therapy company – who had also treated Musk and does not know the details of the tests – DailYmail.com told: ‘Since each test has its detection limits, the more diluted the urine, the greater the chance that it falls under detectable thresholds.
“This is actually the reason for the World Anti-Doping Agency limitation of the use of IV liquids, because it can help to dilute and rinse performance limits under detection limits.”
Drug tests are usually randomly administered to recognize problems with substance use or to check in on someone intended to cut or completely remember it.
“It does not close drug use, drug use on prescription or long -term drug use, Dr. Schiff. “For meaningful clinical insight, we would need randomized, observed tests over time, ideally with behavioral and medical evaluations that confirm the results.”
The person who has collected Musk’s monster is mentioned as Jennifer Taylor about the results. Her LinkedIn says she is the owner of the fastest laboratories in Austin – where the results indicate that the urine test has been performed.
Collectors are usually the same sex as the person who gives the urine sample, because in some cases they will accompany the patient to ensure that the sample is actually theirs and is not tampered with.
That a woman is mentioned as the sample collector for Dr. Schiff stated that the test itself could have been what experts do not call -which means that the monster was provided in private without direct visual supervision.
Musk has previously admitted that the ketamine used for the doctor for depression. But a recent study into the New York Times, which did not quote further mentioned sources, claimed that his heavy use influenced his bladder
“So of course there is always the possibility to replace or manipulate a sample,” she said. “Lack of observation undermines the evidence of the test.”
Musk has been open in the past about the use of ketamine prescribed by a doctor to treat depression. But the recent research Because of the New York Times, nameless people who are familiar with Musk’s daily habits who said that his chronic use of the powerful anesthesia had begun to influence his bladder.
The same report claimed that Musk was traveling with a daily case of approximately 20 different pills, including those marked adderall.
“A clean test does not exclude the use of substances, nor non-substance causes of behavioral change,” Dr. Schiff. ‘This test also gives us no information about use weeks or months ago or the current medicine status, such as sleeping aids or prescribed stimulants.
‘So although the test is technically clean, a single, not random, is [potentially] Non -observed collection with potential sample thinning cannot definitively rule out recent or intermittent drug use. This seems more strategic than clinically necessary. ‘
Elon Musk did not return the request from DailyMail.com to comment.
