**Headline: Elon Musk's Farewell Party at the White House Marked by Black Eye Amidst New Drug Allegations**

Elon Musk made a surprising appearance at his own farewell gathering at the White House, sporting a black eye and providing an unusual explanation for it. The billionaire, who is departing in the wake of fresh drug allegations, claimed that the injury was inflicted by his five-year-old son, X Æ A-12, known simply as X.

"I was just horsing around with little X, and I said, 'Go ahead, punch me in the face.' And he did!" Musk remarked when questioned about his conspicuous bruise. While there’s no immediate reason to doubt his account, recent revelations regarding Musk’s drug usage during his support for Donald Trump last fall are casting a shadow on his credibility.

Reports from the New York Times suggest that Musk's drug consumption was far more extensive than previously known. Sources close to Musk allege that he was using ecstasy and magic mushrooms while promoting Trump’s campaign and that he has been battling bladder issues due to frequent ketamine use. Additionally, the entrepreneur has been seen with a daily pill organizer containing around 20 pharmaceutical drugs, including Adderall.

New claims from the Daily Mail speculate that Musk's black eye could have resulted from a physical altercation with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent earlier this year. Further fueling rumors, there is talk of a fallout between Musk and Trump adviser Stephen Miller, which has been linked to Miller's wife transitioning to work for Musk.

Musk's association with drug use isn’t new; he has openly discussed taking ketamine for therapeutic purposes. However, the latest allegations raise questions about the extent of his drug use, especially on the campaign trail. Though Musk professed to spending ample time with his son, both at home and during the campaign, the NYT suggests that his increasing drug use coincided with these periods.

The timing of these revelations coincides with the controversial claim about his black eye. Despite Musk's assertion that the shiner came from a playful encounter with his young son, some speculate whether an adult altercation or drug-related incident could be to blame.

In the complex web of Musk’s public persona, this incident adds another layer of intrigue, leaving many to wonder about the true source of his injury and the implications of his alleged drug use on his professional and personal life.
