Elon Musk Obliterates the New York Times During Oval Office Presser with Trump [WATCH]

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk held a joint press conference Friday in the Oval Office to mark the conclusion of Musk’s tenure as a special government employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The appearance came on the same day The New York Times published a report accusing Musk of alleged drug use during the 2024 election cycle—claims Musk forcefully rejected during the event.

The Times article, citing anonymous sources, alleged that Musk had been “using drugs far more intensely than previously known,” and claimed the billionaire “juggled drugs” including Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms.

The report also stated that Musk was seen with a daily medication container that reportedly held about 20 pills, including ones labeled as Adderall.

When Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy began to bring up the story during the press conference, Musk cut in before the question was completed.

“Wait, is New York Times, is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate?” Musk asked.

The comment appeared to reference the Pulitzer Prize awarded to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their coverage of the now-debunked allegations of collusion between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russian officials during the 2016 election.

Musk continued, calling out the paper’s credibility and referencing the president’s defamation lawsuit targeting the Pulitzer Prize Board and media organizations over the Russia investigation coverage.

“I think the judge just ruled against New York Times for their lies about the Russiagate hoax and that they might have to give back that Pulitzer Prize. That New York Times? Let’s move on,” Musk said.

Earlier in the press conference, President Trump had praised Musk’s work as DOGE chief, describing his 130-day tenure as an unprecedented push to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.

Trump emphasized that the efforts made under Musk’s leadership have already delivered results and indicated that Musk would continue to serve as an informal advisor even after his special employee term concluded.

The Oval Office exchange underscored ongoing tensions between Trump-aligned officials and legacy media outlets.

Musk’s criticism of The New York Times echoed previous challenges to the outlet’s reporting history, particularly its role in advancing the discredited Russia collusion narrative.

As Musk wrapped up his government service, he emphasized the need for structural reforms and expressed support for legislative action on spending cuts identified by DOGE.

The Office of Management and Budget is expected to send a formal packages of DOGE-recommended cuts to Congress in the coming weeks.

While Musk’s official role in the administration has concluded, both he and President Trump suggested his involvement in reform efforts is far from over.
