Elon Musk’s Surprising Move to Address Substance Abuse Rumors

The feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk just escalated. As Musk fights back against explosive drug allegations with clean test results, Trump has labeled the billionaire a “big-time drug addict,” adding fuel to their already tense relationship. Musk Rebuts Drug Allegations with Test Results Elon Musk has taken a proactive approach to counter allegations of drug addiction by sharing his clean drug test results on social media. The test, conducted at Fastest Labs of South Austin on June 11, showed negative results for 22 substances, including fentanyl, ketamine, amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine, and cannabis. The billionaire entrepreneur released these results following a New York Times report that claimed he regularly used ketamine, psychedelics, and stimulants. Musk responded to the allegations with a simple “lol” while firmly stating, “I am NOT taking drugs! The New York Times was lying their ass off.” BREAKING: Elon Musk has shared a full drug test proving zero usage of any substance. pic.twitter.com/zh7OHg107K — Jack (@jackunheard) June 17, 2025 Trump Administration Connections and Accusations Reports from The Washington Post suggest that President Donald Trump referred to Musk as a “big-time drug addict” as their relationship deteriorated. This accusation came amid speculation that Musk’s alleged drug use might have impacted potential involvement with Trump’s administration. Trump was recently asked about whether Musk had used recreational drugs in the White House, creating further controversy around the allegations. The president’s response neither confirmed nor denied the claims, leaving the question unanswered, while tensions between the two powerful figures appear to have eased somewhat. Great idea. I hereby challenge the NYT and WSJ to take drug tests and publish the results! They won’t, because those hypocrites are guilty as sin. https://t.co/Z6kf6sj2mS — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 17, 2025 Medical Context and Test Limitations Musk has previously acknowledged using prescription ketamine for depression, but claims he hasn’t taken it since. “I tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago and said so on X, so this is not even news. It helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven’t taken it since then,” Musk stated in response to the allegations. Health experts note that urine drug tests typically detect substances used within the past week, leaving open the possibility that Musk could have temporarily abstained before testing. More comprehensive hair follicle tests would have provided evidence of drug use over a longer period, but Musk opted for the urine test, which has a shorter detection window. The New York Times report claimed Musk’s ketamine use had affected his bladder and that he mixed it with other substances, including ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. Ketamine is FDA-approved for treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, though it can have harmful effects when used in high doses or combined with other drugs.

10 Hilariously Strange Slang Terms Popular in the Old West

Just like every time period and subculture, the Old West was populated with people who used a certain vernacular.

‘WADA Shame’: Senate Panel Examines Olympics Doping

‘WADA Shame’: Senate Panel Examines Olympics Doping

A Senate subcommittee on Tuesday heard a lack of confidence in the World Anti-Doping Agency’s ability to combat cheating at the Olympics. The hearing, “WADA Shame: Swimming in Denial Over Chinese Doping,” comes after an April 2024 report detailed how top Chinese swimmers tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug just months before they were allowed to compete in the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021. Some of the athletes who tested positive for the drug trimetazidine, dubbed TMZ, went on to win Olympic medals, including three gold medals.   In response to continuing concerns about the World Anti-Doping Agency, the U.S. government declined to pay about $3.6 million to it in 2024. The U.S.’s contribution to WADA accounts for about 6% of its annual budget. The Senate Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Technology, and Data Privacy hearing came as the United States is currently preparing to host the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles and the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. “This wasn’t just a lapse in judgment. It was a cover-up,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who chairs the subcommittee, said in her opening statement, referencing WADA’s handling of the allegations against the Chinese athletes who tested positive for TMZ. Blackburn noted that WADA officials had refused to appear before the committee to answer questions.  Among the witnesses called to testify were Katie McLaughlin, who won the silver medal in the 4×200-meter freestyle in the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, and Travis Tygart, the chief executive officer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, a nonprofit founded by the U.S. Olympic Committee. “[I]t broke my heart and my teammates’ hearts because, Madam Chairwoman, clean athletes carry the weight of sacrifice and discipline and transparency, and when that’s not honored, it undermines the whole point of what we’re fighting for,” McLaughlin said about the swimmers who had tested positive for the banned drug. “What’s particularly disheartening as well is to learn that the powers that be, WADA, is supposed to be the one holding everyone to the same standard, is not holding everyone accountable,” McLaughlin said. Tygart said that potentially as many as 96 medals at the 2021 and 2024 Olympic Games were affected by reputed failures to catch dopers.  “These 96 medals were potentially impacted by China, sweeping dozens of positive tests on their elite-level swimmers under the rug, while the global regulator, the World Anti-Doping Agency—otherwise known as WADA—did nothing about it.” Tygart recommended that WADA should be audited and that the U.S. government should continue to withhold taxpayer funding for WADA until it makes reforms.  “Let me be very clear: We need a strong WADA. We support the mission, but we need a WADA that is truly independent, a global regulator, not a lapdog to interests other than anything besides clean athletes and parents and sport,” Tygart said.  He noted that it seemed unlikely that contamination of the Chinese athletes with TMZ was an accident. “TMZ is a prescription medication in some countries. It does not just show up in the kitchen. It’s unbelievable to think that, you know, Tinker Bell showed up and sprinkled it in the kitchen,” he said. James Fitzgerald, a spokesman for WADA, told The Daily Signal, “All the evidence in these cases pointed towards no-fault contamination and the advice to WADA, including from external legal counsel, was that had it taken appeals to [the Court of Arbitration for Sport], it would have lost all of them.” WADA also disputed the idea that the Chinese athletes cheated. “Any suggestion that the athletes would have benefited, to other athletes’ detriment, at the Tokyo Olympics seven months later or at the Paris Olympics more than four years later is absurd,” Fitzgerald said, adding, “To suggest without evidence that these athletes from China have cheated is factually wrong and deeply unfair.”  WADA pointed to an investigator’s report as exonerating it from claims of pro-China bias. “The Chinese cases were first made public in April 2024, and WADA responded quickly, thoroughly and transparently. By July 2024, an independent prosecutor, Eric Cottier, had conducted a thorough review, which determined that WADA showed no bias towards China, that the Agency’s decision not to appeal the cases to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was reasonable based on the evidence, and that it followed the rules at all times,” Fitzgerald explained. “WADA’s Executive Committee (ExCo), which included America’s representative at the time, Dr. Rahul Gupta, welcomed the conclusions.” Cottier’s impartiality has been questioned, given his previous role as the attorney general of Vaud, the Switzerland canton where WADA has its Swiss office.  Fitzgerald also said that the hearing “was intended by [the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency] simply to undermine confidence in the global anti-doping system, sow division within the anti-doping community, and distract from its own failures to address serious deficiencies with anti-doping in the U.S.” WADA also said that it was taking steps to address concerns about its anti-doping policies, including adopting recommendations based on a working group that included a representative of the American government and establishing a working group on drug contamination of athletes.

How to Adopt Service Dogs That Didn’t Make the Cut

How to Adopt Service Dogs That Didn’t Make the Cut

At DogingtonPost, we’re excited to explore a unique adoption opportunity: service dogs that didn’t quite make the cut. These incredible animals have received top-notch training but, for various reasons, didn’t complete their service dog certification. Adopting these dogs can be a rewarding experience, giving them a loving home while benefiting from their advanced training. In this post, we’ll guide you through the process of how to adopt service dogs that failed their training programs and welcome them into your family. What Happens in Service Dog Training? The Rigorous Training Process Service dog training transforms puppies into highly skilled assistants. Organizations like Assistance Dogs International set strict standards for these programs. Training typically lasts 18 to 24 months and costs between $25,000 and $50,000 per dog. The Training Journey Puppies begin their journey at 8 weeks old. They learn basic obedience and socialization skills with volunteer puppy raisers. At 14 to 18 months, they return to the training center for advanced work. Here, they master tasks like retrieving objects, opening doors, and alerting to medical conditions. Why Some Dogs Don’t Complete Training The success rate for service dog training is only about 30%. Common reasons for failure include: Health issues: Hip dysplasia or allergies can disqualify a dog. Temperament: Some dogs are too energetic or easily distracted. Work ethic: Not all dogs have the drive for constant training. Socialization problems: Fear or aggression in public settings is a deal-breaker. Available Dogs for Adoption Failed service dogs come in various breeds and ages. Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds are common. You’ll find dogs ranging from 18 months to 3 years old. These dogs often have excellent basic training and socialization skills, making them great family pets. Adoption Organizations Organizations like Freedom Service Dogs of America and Guide Dogs for the Blind regularly have dogs available for adoption. Those not up to the standard are offered for adoption or are transferred to programs for other service dogs such as police or search and rescue. They provide detailed profiles of each dog, including their training history and reasons for career change. (It’s worth noting that these profiles can offer valuable insights into a dog’s personality and potential fit for your family.) As we move forward to explore the process of finding and adopting these exceptional dogs, it’s important to understand the unique qualities they bring to the table. Their advanced training and socialization can make them excellent companions, even if they didn’t quite make the cut as service animals. Where to Find Service Dog Dropouts Top Organizations for Service Dog Adoptions Several reputable organizations across the United States specialize in rehoming well-trained pups that didn’t complete their service dog training. Freedom Service Dogs of America, based in Colorado, offers a “career change” program for dogs between 18 months and 3 years old. These dogs have received extensive training but didn’t quite make the cut as service animals. Guide Dogs for the Blind, operating in California and Oregon, provides an adoption program for dogs that don’t complete their guide dog training. They often have Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, or Lab/Golden crosses available. The TSA Canine Training Center in Texas runs an adoption program for dogs that don’t meet their rigorous standards for explosive detection work. (These dogs are often described as “too nice” or “too playful” for the serious work of airport security.) Adoption Requirements Adopting a service dog dropout isn’t as straightforward as adopting from a shelter. Most organizations have specific requirements for potential adopters. You’ll typically need to: Be at least 21 years old Have a fenced yard Provide references from your veterinarian Show proof of homeownership or landlord approval for pet ownership Demonstrate the ability to provide proper care, including regular exercise and veterinary check-ups The Adoption Process The process of adopting a service dog dropout can take time. Many organizations have waiting lists due to high demand. Here’s what you can expect: Patience Pays Off The adoption process for service dog dropouts requires patience. These organizations want to ensure the best match between dog and adopter, which takes time. (The reward of welcoming a well-trained, loving companion into your home makes the wait worthwhile.) As you prepare for the possibility of adopting one of these exceptional dogs, it’s important to consider how to set up your home and lifestyle to accommodate their unique needs. Let’s explore how to prepare for your new companion in the next section. How to Prepare Your Home for an Ex-Service Dog Create a Safe Space Ex-service dogs need structured environments. Set up a quiet area with a comfortable bed, water bowl, and toys. This space will serve as a retreat when your dog needs downtime. Remove potential hazards like loose wires or toxic plants. Install baby gates to limit access to certain areas initially. A study by the Journal of Veterinary Behavior found that dogs with a designated safe space show reduced stress levels by up to 30%. (This is particularly important for ex-service dogs adjusting to a new environment.) Maintain Training Consistency Assistance animals play significant roles in human therapy and well-being and represent a rapidly growing demographic of animals in society. Familiarize yourself with the commands they’ve learned. The American Kennel Club suggests spending at least 15 minutes daily to reinforce these commands. Invest in puzzle toys and treat-dispensing games to keep their minds active. These activities can reduce boredom and prevent destructive behaviors. A survey by the Association of Professional Dog Trainers found that dogs engaged in mental stimulation activities were 40% less likely to develop anxiety-related issues. Meet Health and Exercise Needs Ex-service dogs are often high-energy breeds that require significant exercise. Plan for at least an hour of physical activity daily. This can include walks, runs, or fetch games. A study in the Journal of Physiology and Behavior showed that dogs receiving adequate exercise displayed 50% fewer behavioral problems. Schedule a vet check-up within the first week of adoption. Many service dog organizations provide detailed health records, but a fresh assessment ensures you’re aware of any specific needs. Regular grooming is also essential, especially for breeds like Labrador Retrievers or German Shepherds that shed frequently. Adapt Your Routine Ex-service dogs are used to structured schedules. Try to establish a consistent daily routine for feeding, exercise, and rest. (This will help your new companion adjust more quickly to their new home environment.) Provide Mental Stimulation These highly trained dogs are accustomed to mental challenges. Incorporate training sessions, puzzle toys, and new experiences into their daily life. This will help prevent boredom and maintain their sharp minds. Final Thoughts Adopting service dogs that failed their training programs offers a unique opportunity to welcome a well-trained companion into your home. These exceptional animals possess advanced skills and socialization, making them excellent pets for the right families. You provide a loving home to a deserving dog and gain a highly trained companion who can enrich your daily life. The impact of this adoption extends beyond your household, as you give a second chance to a dog that might otherwise struggle to find placement. These animals often transition smoothly to pet life due to their strong foundation in obedience and social skills. Their advanced training can significantly ease the challenges of pet ownership (and create a strong bond built on mutual trust and understanding). We at DogingtonPost encourage you to consider this distinctive adoption option. If you want to learn more about responsible dog ownership or training tips, visit our website at DogingtonPost.
