Ketamine shows up in urine for a couple of weeks maybe. A blood test would show it 24h - three days.
Hair tests are most reliable to check for long term substance use. From hair it would be detectable for months.
This is said to be a urine test, but cheating those is pretty trivial as well. The way urine tests work is that they just check the values and if your value of a certain drug is under a certain threshold, even if some is detected, it’s counted as a negative. So if you drink tons of water, you can dilute your piss, making it less likely that the test will flag any metabolites in your pee. However, to counter this, labs also test your creatine value, which is an indicator if you’ve diluted your pee or not. However, to fool that particular check, all you need to do is take a creatine supplement, so you’ll have too high levels of creatine, but when you dilute your piss, they’ll be on the normal level. So the piss will be extremely diluted, while still having a “normal pee” creatine value, making the tester think it’s good, while it’s actually not.
So this genuinely proves jack shit. I mean, if it’s not faked in any way, then what it “proves” is that Elon isn’t a 247 weeder and has been without hard drugs for like, half a week. And that really isn’t a sign of not being addicted, desperately trying to prove you’re not the junkie people say you are by being sober for the better part of one week after the whole world has turned on you and everything you own is going to shit.
