From New York Times, I'm Michael Babaro.

This is the Daily.

A Times investigation has found that as Elon Musk became one of President Trump's closest and most influential advisors,

he was juggling an increasingly chaotic personal life and a drug

habit far more serious than previously known. Today, my colleagues Kirsten Grind and

Megan Toey on why those closest to Musk are finally sounding the alarm.

It's Monday, June 2nd.

Kirsten and Megan, thank you for being here on a Sunday morning.

We really appreciate it.

Thanks for having us. Happy to be here.

So, well, one of you described what happened in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon?

Well, it was a remarkable scene. You know, after these many months of working with President Trump and leading Doge to cut federal spending, Elon Musk had recently announced that he was leaving the administration.

Today it's about a man named Elon, and he's one of the greatest business leaders.

And so on Friday, it's like this big moment, right?

They do this press conference that is meant to be a celebratory send-off.

I just want to say that Elon has worked tirelessly helping lead the most sweeping and

consequential government reform program in generations. And the

and the whole time Trump is very admiring and complimentary of Musk. And Musk is standing next to Trump,

wearing a shirt that says Doge father and Trump gives him a golden key, thanking him for his service.

I think the Doge team is doing an incredible job. They're going to continue doing an incredible

job. And I'll continue to be visiting here and be a friend and advisor to the president.

But when it came time for reporters to ask questions, the president mentioned that you had to deal with all the slings and arrows.
