CNN Anchor Grills Trump Econ Nerd On If He’s Ever Seen Elon Musk Doing A Drug

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt went to the best source she had on hand to ask about former DOGE czar Elon Musk’s alleged drug use — Trump White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.

A new bombshell New York Times report details claims of heavy drug use by Musk, and neither Musk nor Trump is anxious to talk about it.

On Thursday’s edition of CNN’s The Arena, Hunt logically went to the nerdiest and least likely person to ever be in a room with someone doing drugs and asked him if he’d ever seen Musk on drugs. Hassett insisted he never did see Musk do a drug:

HUNT: You say that he’s a wonderful colleague. “The Times”, of course, reporting this morning on extensive drug use.

Did you ever witness Elon Musk under the influence of drugs?

HASSETT : Not even close. No.

HUNT: Never? Not once?

HASSETT: Not even once. No, not in a million years.

And I could just say that he is a person who’s so filled with joy that it’s just a natural way that he is, and he’s just been absolutely a blast to work with.

And of course, there’s no sign whatsoever, anything like that.

HUNT: Did any of the personal drama that was reported make its way into the White House?

HASSETT: We I never talked to him about personal drama, ever. I just talked to him about every technical issue. I could tell you that just about every technical issue, like we were the president was talking about spectrum in 6G. And whatever it is, Elon knows everything about it. He’s one of the most remarkable minds I’ve ever seen. He’s the Thomas Edison of our day.

HUNT: Do you think his time in government will benefit his companies from a regulatory perspective? HASSETT: I don’t think that he ever thought anything about his own

personal gain. He was just trying to make government work better.
