From NY Post: Elon Musk aggressively body-checked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in the White House after being called a fraud – igniting a fiery clash that sparked the billionaire’s messy falling-out with President Trump, a new report claims.
The heated scuffle broke out in mid-April after both men pitched rival plans for the Internal Revenue Service to Trump in the Oval Office, with the president ultimately backing Bessent’s choice, the Washington Post quoted former White House official Steven Bannon as saying.
The pair left the meeting hurling insults at each other within earshot of the president’s office, Bannon told the outlet.
Bannon claims that Bessent called Musk a “fraud” referring to Musk’s mission to cut $1 trillion in federal spending.
The incident spiraled into a physical altercation when Musk allegedly rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage “like a rugby player.” Bessent allegedly fought back, Bannon reportedly claimed.
“President Trump heard about it and said, ‘This is too much,’” Bannon said.
👀 “Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage ‘like a rugby player,’ Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back. Multiple people stepped in to break up the scrum…”
