She described Vice President J.D. Vance as someone who “sees a secret conspiracy behind every major event without any evidence” and Budget Director Russ Vought as a “hardcore right-winger.”
US Official Claims Musk Used Drugs
Washington, D.C.: Senior White House official Susie Wiles made shocking revelations in an interview with a magazine. She made candid and critical remarks about people close to President Donald Trump. She also claimed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk used ketamine (a drug).
She described Vice President J.D. Vance as someone who "sees a secret conspiracy behind every major event without any evidence" and Budget Director Russ Vought as a "hardcore right-winger." She also criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi for her handling of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Following the interview's publication, the White House downplayed her statements. However, Susie Wiles wrote on social media that the article lacked necessary context and was deliberately misrepresented.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Susie Wiles, saying that Trump has no advisor more important or loyal than her. Leavitt said on X, "The entire administration is grateful for her steady leadership and stands fully behind her." However, this interview could once again raise questions about the president and his policies and reignite old conflicts, especially with Musk.
Regarding Musk, Wiles said he is a completely independent operator. "The challenge with Elon is keeping up with his pace." When asked about a post Musk shared on X suggesting that government employees were responsible for millions of deaths during the time of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong, Wiles said, "I think he was microdosing at the time."
However, Wiles admitted that she did not have direct knowledge of Musk's drug use. Musk and Tesla representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Earlier this year, Musk denied a New York Times report that he extensively uses ketamine and other drugs. He said he had tried ketamine years ago on a doctor's recommendation but had not used it since.
Musk led a government efficiency task force aimed at reducing the size of the federal government and its workforce. He initially targeted the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for closure. This move shocked Washington and led to the termination of several humanitarian programs.
Wiles said she was "initially taken aback" when Musk shut down programs that Trump wanted to preserve, and she confronted him about it. Wiles recounted, "Elon's attitude is that you have to move quickly. There's going to be some collateral damage with that approach. But no reasonable person could think that the USAID process was good. Absolutely nobody." Wiles serves as Chief of Staff in the White House and gave this interview to Vanity Fair magazine.
