During a recent photo op at the White House, Elon Musk confronted Fox News reporter Peter Doocy concerning a controversial New York Times report alleging Musk's drug use while serving alongside Donald Trump. The report claimed Musk used ketamine daily and mixed it with other substances. Musk redirected the conversation away from the allegations, criticizing the Times' past reporting on Russiagate and questioning its credibility, specifically its receipt of a Pulitzer Prize for that reporting. The exchange highlights Musk's combative stance towards media scrutiny.
Some of the media organizations in this room were the slingers, Musk said. As Doocy mentioned the Times report, Musk laid into the paper and its past reporting on Russiagate, referring to the Russia probe into Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Is that the same publication that's got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate? Is it the same organization? Musk asked Doocy.
I think the judge just ruled against New York Times for their lies about the Russiagate hoax, Musk said. And that they might have to give back that Pulitzer prize.
Musk shut down Doocy's question regarding a New York Times report about his alleged drug use, quickly pivoting the conversation towards media criticism.
