Elon Musk demands Trump send US troops to San Francisco for war on drugs: ‘It’s the only solution’
Elon Musk has backed the deployment of federal troops to San Francisco, claiming in a gung-ho post that it is “the only solution” to the city’s drug problem.
Musk, who spearheaded mass layoffs through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency before he exited the White House in May, said downtown San Francisco is “a drug zombie apocalypse.”
His remarks follow his departure from the Trump administration following a public feud with Donald Trump and allegations that Musk himself was using drugs when he was funneling millions into the Republican’s 2024 presidential campaign. He denied the allegations and said they were “lies.”

Isn't he a big drug user? Does he really mean "war on poor people?"
That's pretty much what the "war on (some) drugs" always was. Well, that and anyone else they wanted to go after - gays, Blacks, liberals, etc...with things like the cocaine vs. crack treatment really highlighting the hypocrisy. Not to mention statements made by key people like Ehrlichman...
"The war on X" has always meant "The war on the new not rich."
I wish he would start the war on X: the world would be a better place.
Hell, he's already started the war on Tesla...
~ John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon
Guy on drugs wants war on drugs.
Maybe he misunderstood the phrase. He wants a war while on drugs
JFC, what an asshole. This is the guy that uses ketamine, shrooms, ecstasy and who knows what else?
I love how the rules don't apply to any of these assholes, but the full force of the law should come down like a ton of bricks of anyone that's not at least a centimillionaire...
I think you mean hecto millionaire. (Centi sounds wrong to me for 100 million, more like centimeter)
They are synonyms. Centimillionaire and hectomillionaire mean the same thing.
That might be, but my brain thought it was 10,000 dollars, or 0.01 million. I blame the language
Is this moron still alive? We had been blessed with not hearing about him for some time.... I guess the ket is wearing off.
He was just lurking in the shadows practicing his Nazi salute in the bathroom. He never went away.

He must wear a lifejacket in the hot tub.
The war on drugs has gone so well so far.
Back in the nineties.... D.A.R.E. to keep kids off drugs! Scruff McCruff Chicago Illinois 60612?
My daughter always complained that no one had ever offered her free drugs to try to get her hooked. I spent a day walking around a farmers market with a pocket full of canamels handing them out to anyone who wanted them. On the way home I said, "Honey, I'm the guy they warned you about." She said, "Cannabis it's not addictive."
The important thing is it's making the investors in police and military equipment and the people who run private professions wealthy and disproportionately harming minorities
Rich coming from the drug addict
He needs a resupply
I'm willing to believe that Elon Musk is addicted to snorting the ashes of homeless people.
Because DOGE was such a roaring success under his watch, I'm sure they're all still listening to him.
Not when they're having to rehire a bunch of people at presumably great expense, never mind all the incoming lawsuits.
They don't care, it's not their money since they don't pay their fair share of taxes.
That’s the point, to cripple the system.
Bitch can end world hunger and US poverty over 3 times with his money but wants a military invasion and more federal funding for his own companies to get even richer.
Elon, you can go fuck yourself. It's the only way.
Please just kill him already
Maybe if he spends more time in his Cybertrucks.
Goddamn, it was a nice couple of months there where he just shut the fuck up and laid low for a while.
I don't think anyone should listen to this Ketamine fueld cunt.
Are you trying to be daddy's favourite again Elon?
When you think of Elon panting for Trump's attention, who in turn is acting out of unresolved need for his daddy's attention, it could be argued our entire democracy is being dismantled to please the dead Fred Trump.
Is it just me or does he look like the Grinch plotting how to deport all the Whos from Whoville.
He wants all the ketamine for himself. DOGE will confiscate it all and then mysteriously disappear from a storage warehouse.
He's more ketamine than man now.
TIL we have to deploy troops and shoot drugs to end the "War on drugs"
Should we shoot up Big Opiod as well?
E.g. send them to Stamford, Connecticut and go after Purdue Pharma?
Where will he get his drugs from then...
Plot twist, it was a san franciscan that stiffed him once with some bad k
Wait so billionaire piece of shit who is constantly tripping all day demands war on drugs… against the people who stopped buying his trash vehicles is somehow correct?
I guess the regime isn’t imprisoning enough minorities fast enough for his puppeteers.
Daily reminder:
During a news conference with FIFA President Gianni Infantino in March 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump said, "They rigged the election, and I became president."
San Francisco was fine until the tech bros came in and priced everyone out. Poverty creates mental illness and that fuels addiction. Might get better if these tech bros paid taxes at a 90% rate like they would have in the 1950’s and we used that to fund universal healthcare but they seem to be pushing for a genocide instead. Who would have guessed that giving hundreds of billions of dollars to racist/sexist apartheid South Africans would be bad for America? /s
"We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!"
Stick to cars buddy. Leave the sociology to those who at least care about humanity.
He's also not very good at cars
He’s a nepo baby who’s good at failing upward, in a society that caters to such people
Too cheap to put lidars and as a result people are dead.
Just had dinner in North Beach. Out on the side walk. Had a lovely time as always. What the fuck are these people on? There are seedy streets in the city. Sure. But overall San Francisco is peaceful.
Boot out the neo-Nazi sack of shit drug addict back to South Africa.
Does the guard have suboxone bullets now?
I hope I'm wrong but I fully believe a crackdown on cannabis is coming.
Look at the "medical cannabis" industry in Florida... That's where it's going. They will eliminate the farm bill and introduce more shitty moldy corporate weed that costs an arm and a leg with no taxes.
Oh look, it's America's Most Wanted.
Then you’ll have no programmers. They need their Adderall and caffeine pills.
And weed, and shrooms, and the occasional bit of LSD and extacy.....
This is a law enforcement issue, not a military issue.
The streets of San Francisco are fine. There’s no need for any of this shit. If billionaires are scared. Maybe use their money to better the neighborhoods they are scared of.
No it's a public health issue.
ITZ ZEE FINAL SOLUTION -Elon musk
shut the fuck up, wannabe hitler
What are they going to do shoot dying homeless people in the streets?
1/3 of those vagrants die every winter from the cold. They just keep flooding in so you’d never notice.
That's a weird way to say you hate poor people Jesus fucking Christ
