In the west of the White House, Elon Musk had a discussion described as “WWE style” with Scott Besent, Treasury Secretary. There are problems within the cabinet of Donald Trump.
► Elon Musk argued with Scott Besent
As they told him Axios Two witnesses and three sources, Musk and Besent, had An intense verbal dispute about the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Last week they could hear both them and the president of the country and other officials. It is interesting to point out that Musk did not want Besent in that role but to Howard Lutnick and that it was Trump who chose him, placing Lutnick as leader of the Department of Commerce. On the other hand, Trump also appointed Gary Shaley as an interim commissioner of the IRS while Besent wanted Michael Faulkender, who occupies the position of Undersecretary of the Treasury. Besent would then accuse Musk of acting in the back and there all began. Although his relationship was never good.
«There were two middle -aged billionaire men who believed they were in the WWE in the wing wing lobby«, One of the witnesses told the middle.
«They did not put physical in the oval office, but The president saw itand then continued around the hall, and that was when they did it again, ”said the first witness.
«It was a scene. He was loud. And I mean, noisy, ”said the second.
The discussion was so heated that an assistant brought between the two men to separate them. It happened within reach of the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloniwho visited Trump that day.
How could it be otherwise, the matter came to the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who was asked by The Times and this was his answer:
«It is no secret that President Trump has gathered a team of incredibly passionate people for the problems that affect our country. Disagreements are a normal part of any healthy political process. And, ultimately, everyone knows what they serve under President Trump's orders ».
Apparently, This would not be the first time that Musk discusses with one of his “companions.” He would also have done it with the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, and the commercial advisor Peter Navarro. And it does not seem that the situation, or situations, go calm. Speaking particularly of Musk and Besent, a source says:
«Scott won that round. But I wouldn't want someone like Musk as an enemy«.
