Jon Stewart couldn’t resist taking a dig at Elon Musk’s alleged drug addictions, including his reportedly daily use of drugs like “ecstasy, mushrooms, ketamine, and Adderall.”
The Daily Show host noted during his Monday night monologue that Musk’s ketamine addiction had caused him serious bladder issues, which he allegedly confided to people around him.
“Dude is a one-man anti-drug campaign,” Stewart joked.

In the tone of an anti-drug PSA narrator, Stewart said, “These are your pants,” pointing to a picture of Musk speaking at a MAGA event.
“These are your pants on drugs,” Stewart said. He pointed to the same picture, except now Musk’s pants were soaking wet.
Now, for the first time, Stewart feels bad for Musk.
Discussing how the DOGE founder left the Trump White House in apparent defeat, Stewart looked at just how far Musk’s fallen.
“Look at the poor b-----d,” Stewart said. He showed a picture of Musk at a Trump campaign event, where he was jumping with joy.
“He went from this...” Stewart said, gesturing to the happy photo, “...to this.”
Stewart showed a recent picture of Musk, in which the poor Tesla CEO was smiling no more. The photo was from Musk’s farewell press conference with Trump on Friday, where Musk not only looked depressed but was sporting a black eye.
“Look at this f---ing guy,” Stewart joked. “He went from tech titan, given a mandate to move fast and crush the deep state, to... guy who had a bad night in Nashville at a bar he can’t remember.”
“He’s beaten down,” Stewart said. “He’s got that look on his face that I imagine his employees normally have. Black eye, 1,000-yard stare. This dude has seen some s--t.”
Stewart didn’t believe Musk’s explanation for his black eye. The billionaire claimed last Friday that he was sporting a purple bruise to the eye because he asked his son X to punch him in the face.
“So you’re not gonna tell us what happened?“ Stewart joked. ”Do you need a safe place to stay?”
The Daily Show host declared, “I’m sure the one sentence no parent has ever uttered to their child is, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face.’”
Stewart pointed out that Musk had “spent $300 million of his own money to get Trump elected, [and] irreparably damaged his personal brand and almost all of his business,” but he’d gotten nothing of value in return.
