Fact Check: President Trump Did NOT Post on Truth Social That Elon Musk Is Always High On Ketamine And Should Go Back To Africa

Not A Truth

Did President Trump post on his Truth Social account on June 5, 2025, that Elon Musk should "go back to Africa"? No, that's not true: The @realDonaldTrump timeline was closely watched at the time in anticipation of Trump's responses to Musk during their high-profile tit for tat dispute. There is no evidence the post ever appeared on Trump's Truth Social account. Fake posts attributed to Trump and Musk spread across social platforms as their feud boiled over on Thursday, June 5, 2025.

The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published on X by the @lisa_liberal account on June 5, 2025, under the title "Y'all be quiet. My show is on." The text of the fake Truth Social post read:

Elon Musk or 'Mediocre Musk' is constantly high on ketamine. Always making promises he can't keep. NOT TO BE TRUSTED! He wants to go to Mars, how about you go back to Africa.

This is what the post looked like at the time of writing:
