One of President Donald Trump's top aides has some thoughts on Elon Musk.
In a series of interviews with Vanity Fair published on Tuesday, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles weighed in on Musk's time as the de facto leader of DOGE, her thoughts on the Musk-led shuttering of USAID, and Musk's personality quirks.
"The challenge with Elon is keeping up with him," Wiles told the outlet, calling Musk an "avowed ketamine" user who "sleeps in a sleeping bag" in an office building adjacent to the White House during the daytime. "He's an odd, odd duck, as I think geniuses are. You know, it's not helpful, but he is his own person."
Asked about a meme Musk had reposted and later unshared about public sector workers murdering people under the dictatorships of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong, Wiles said: "I think that's when he's microdosing."
In June, Musk denied being a current ketamine user, writing on X that he was "NOT taking drugs." He said he'd had a prescription for the drug "a few years ago" but hadn't taken it since then.
Reached for further comment on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Musk's xAI told Business Insider: "Legacy Media Lies."
In a separate interview on Monday with the New York Times, Wiles denied commenting on Musk's drug use, saying she "wouldn't have said it and I wouldn't know." But the Times reported that the journalist Chris Whipple, who interviewed Wiles for Vanity Fair, played a tape for the Times in which she could be heard making the comments.

more crap
“sleeps in a sleeping bag”
His main home is a little carboard box near SpaceX HQ in Boca Chica, TX. That is, not counting his gated compound with several houses near Austin TX where all his baby mamas live with their 14 or 15 children.
His ‘harem’ if you will.
I’m an odd duck too. I travel extensively for my job. Often weekly. When I can I skip hotels and string a hammock at a campground. With a sleeping bag. I have to pull a trailer sometimes. On long trips it’s an air mattress in a truck stop.
The company will pay for hotels. I do it because I want to.
Indeed. Trump, Vance and everyone else has supported Wiles. Before, during and after the Vanity Fair interviews.
Must the enemedia can’t resist stirring the pot.
Why do RINO goobers feel the need to get affirmation from leftist main stream media by dishing with them??
It’s because the uniparty bubble- force is very strong in DC, and they find it impossible to avoid the groupthink. They feel a strong unconscious need to belong to it.
Wiles should have had better sense.
Hit piece. I wouldn’t trust a word of it. I bet they didn’t even spell her name right, out of spite.
All of it was recorded...
The Vanity Fairies are going full speed after President Trump again. Nikita Khrushchev’s butt bois.
BI=BS.
Quoting and even recording of snippets can be very misleading. I often say “I’ve OD’d on it” meaning something like my beloved creamed pickled herring - meaning I don’t want to even think of eating it for a while. But it could be made to sound as though I once had a drug overdose, lol.
I’s like to hear recordings of all the sappy assurances of fairness the interviewer spewed to get the gig up and going.
Just the same, she shouldn’t have done it.
Too bad now.
She had no right to be dishing private details of Musk to a GD Vanity unFair reporter
WTH
People with egos who cant keep their mouths shut and gossip
She used to be smarter than that. Can’t understand her need to dish to Vanity Fair of all places.
Putting women in power does things to their mind. Look at all the recent conservative women that have melted down recently.
“Hit piece. I wouldn’t trust a word of it.”
************
True, but why is she repeatedly talking to media scum? Knowing how they are there’s no good reason to do interviews with them and so her judgement and/or motives must be called into question.
One could make an argument that she’s dangerously naive at best, and suffers from poor judgement at worst, and therefore has no business being in such a key position in the administration. She’ll probably be leaving soon for “family reasons”.
