Elon Musk allegedly got into a heated discussion with a senior White House official that turned physical during his time as head of DOGE, according to Steve Bannon.
A former chief strategist during Donald Trump’s first term in office, Bannon told the Daily Mail that Musk’s turbulent time in the White House took a dramatic turn when he allegedly “shoved” 62-year-old Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a heated exchange.
According to Bannon, Bessent confronted Musk over his sweeping but unfulfilled promises to deliver $1 trillion in budget cuts. “Scott Bessent called him out and said, ‘You promised us a trillion dollars in cuts, and now you’re at like $100 billion. Nobody can find any savings. What are you doing?’” Bannon recounted.
“And that’s when Elon got physical. It’s a sore subject with him,” Bannon said.
Bannon has a person vendetta with musk because he’s insanely jealous. Bannon will spill the beans.
He wants to be in the inner circle again.
Bannon is in the MAGA faction and Elon is (or was) in the rival Billionaire faction.
