- Hunter Biden has been active on social media after returning to X in May.

- He clapped back at a podcaster who called him an offensive slur while taking aim at his past substance abuse issues.

- The son of former President Joe Biden celebrated seven years of sobriety on June 1.

Hunter Biden has entered the chat.

The son of former President Joe Biden has been extremely online after reactivating his X account. "I'm Hunter Biden. You've never actually heard from me," he wrote on May 18, kicking off his prolific posting.

His content has ranged from all different types, from commentary on current events to responding to trolls who harp on his past substance abuse. Biden has been sober for over seven years.

"Hey guys, Hunter Biden is still a meth head f-----," user Royce Lopez posted on Sunday evening, calling Biden a gay slur. The following morning, Biden corrected the podcaster. "You mean crack head f-----. And all your gym pictures with your greased up muscles are really hot Royce," he quipped.

Days earlier, Biden responded to a post that claimed the bag of cocaine found at the White House while his father was in office — and after the 56-year-old was sober — was his. “It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs," he wrote back.

Biden has been incredibly candid about his recovery from crack cocaine use and vocal about it since his return to social media. On June 1, he celebrated seven years of sobriety, saying he was more proud of it than "anything I've ever done in my life."

In an X video shared on Monday, Biden said that in reading social media posts, he was reminded of "one of the most important things of my recovery," which is gratitude. "I used to think gratitude was about being grateful for your day. If it was a good day, [you] woke up and the sun was out, and things were going well."

He continued, "But really, what gratitude's about, is for all of it. The comments on this site remind me of that. I'm grateful for my whole life and everything that brought me here, and given me the opportunity to speak to this many people."

Biden shared, "Because, if I can reach just one person that's still out there sick and suffering, and let them know that if I can help them climb out of the desperation and the misery that I was so obviously in, then maybe they can too."

He added, "For that, I'm incredibly grateful. I really am. So, to all of you, everyone here, that's left a comment, no matter how beautiful or how ugly, that's life. You gotta be able to accept it all. And I do. We're all in it together, and I appreciate it." Biden also shared resources for those seeking help with substance use.

In June 2024, Biden was convicted of several felony gun charges after he lied about not illegally using or addicted to drugs when purchasing a gun in 2018, per Associated Press.

“I am more grateful today for the love and support I experienced this last week from [my wife] Melissa, my family, my friends, and my community than I am disappointed by the outcome," he said in a statement when convicted. "Recovery is possible by the grace of God, and I am blessed to experience that gift one day at a time.”

Biden was ultimately pardoned by his father in December 2024 before his presidential term ended.
