We also drilled down deep into how he was using these private companies to help Trump’s 2024 campaign. He was able to mask where millions of dollars went. The practice is legal but “highly unusual.”
NEW: Elon Musk said he was “selling almost all physical possessions” when he moved to Texas. Nope. Instead, he has secretly amassed land and penthouses and planes and mansions. We just had to spend months digging through private company records to find it all. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/t...
Okay so Musk isn’t going to Mars, but he IS building AI satellites and a massive catapult to launch them into space www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/t...
I looked into it extensively about a year ago www.nytimes.com/2024/07/11/t...
Musk is saying this like NBD but it is a massive shift, not just for SpaceX but for all his businesses long oriented around getting to Mars. He had already started colonization plans there
Important story from @sheeraf.bsky.social on the technology used by ICE to track protesters and immigrants www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...
“This is industrial-scale abuse of women and girls:” more than 40% of the images on Grok over nine days contained sexualized pics of women (and that’s a conservative estimate) from @kateconger.com and team www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...
We really doing this again?
This is such incredible reporting from my colleagues: much of Musk’s government cost-cutting efforts at the helm of
DOGE were “an accounting mirage.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...
NEW: Elon Musk has spent $600 million to open schools across the country. In reality, he’s operating…a daycare, records show. And he’s homeschooling his own kids. Some fun reporting w/ @sheerafrenkel www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/t...
As Tesla’s board lobbies for Elon Musk’s trillion dollar pay package, a reminder that this is NOT an independent board: our @wsj (Pulitzer winning!)investigation from last year: www.wsj.com/tech/elon-mu...
Elon Musk's father Errol Musk has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren since 1993, a @nytimes investigation finds. Family members have appealed to Elon Musk for help. @kirstengrind.bsky.social Jon Eligon www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...
NEW: Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has been accused by family members of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren. Elon has repeatedly had to intervene, a secret that’s spanned generations. Our months-long investigation www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...
Thanks so much for having me @danahull.bsky.social always fun!!
NEW: Elon Musk gets billions of dollars in federal contracts for his rocket company SpaceX. But documents we saw shows the company - despite a $350 billion plus valuation - likely hasn’t paid federal taxes for years, and may never pay them! w/the great Susanne Craig www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/t...
Wow thanks so much!
NYT response:
Elon Musk just posted a drug test dated about two weeks after our investigation published (unverified so far). Reminder that our story covered the period leading up to the election and we also reported he was receiving advance warnings from SpaceX ahead of drug tests
Remembering another time when Elon Musk got down on his knees to apologize www.wsj.com/business/elo...
“White House officials said that Trump’s concern about Musk’s drug use, stemming in part from media reports, was one factor driving the two men apart.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump has been telling people that Musk’s crazy behavior is linked to his drug use. Our investigation, which Trump was briefed on, published last Friday before their falling out www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...
Elon Musk indeed has A LOT to lose if Trump actually cancels his gov contracts: more than 100 by our last count www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/u...
Musk is also contradicting his own statements from last year, when he said he was talking small amounts of “prescription” ketamine
Elon Musk is now trying to claim he doesn’t do drugs. Here’s our response @nytimes.com
A reminder that Musk holds a “top secret” security clearance through SpaceX and is supposed to be reporting all drug use to the federal government…and he hasn’t www.nytimes.com/2024/12/17/t...
White House responds to our story: “The drugs that we’re concerned about are the drugs running across the southern border.” No comment on whether Musk’s been drug tested or if Trump was aware
And of course this follows our reporting from last year at the @wsj that revealed for the first time that Musk was a drug user www.wsj.com/business/elo...
This story also goes deep on all the family drama Musk has been dealing with in his push to procreate, including new details on how he is breaking a custody agreement by carrying his son X around everywhere
