This is a shocking discovery.
In a shocking turn of events inside the Trump White House, billionaire Elon Musk allegedly shoved Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a heated argument over competing IRS reform plans—an incident that may have permanently fractured his relationship with President Trump.
The confrontation reportedly unfolded in mid-April during a high-level Oval Office meeting, where both Musk and Bessent pitched contrasting ideas to overhaul the Internal Revenue Service. According to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, President Trump ultimately favored Bessent’s proposal—prompting an emotional outburst from Musk.
“Scott told him to his face, ‘You’re a fraud,’” Bannon stated, recalling the clash that followed as both men exited the meeting within earshot of the president.
Verbal Fight Reportedly Turns Physical
According to Bannon, Musk—visibly agitated—physically rammed his shoulder into Bessent “like a rugby player,” triggering a brief scuffle before White House staff intervened. Musk was quickly removed from the West Wing, sources say.
President Trump, briefed soon after, reportedly responded with dismay, stating: “This is too much.”
The incident marks a turning point in the previously cooperative relationship between Trump and Musk, who has recently grown critical of the administration’s legislative priorities.
Fallout Spills Onto Social Media
Just days later, Musk launched into a multi-day tirade on his platform X (formerly Twitter), blasting Trump over his endorsement of a new federal spending bill—dubbed by Trump as the “big, beautiful bill.” The package, designed to streamline government efficiency and cut waste, is strongly backed by conservatives and fiscal hawks alike.
Trump responded firmly, telling reporters, “I’ve helped Elon a lot, and I’m disappointed.”
Musk escalated tensions further by accusing the administration of withholding documents allegedly tied to Jeffrey Epstein—a claim that conservative analysts view as a diversion tactic.
Musk’s Federal Funding and Citizenship Under Scrutiny
President Trump is now reportedly considering action to re-evaluate the “billions and billions” in federal contracts and subsidies received by Musk’s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX.
Meanwhile, Steve Bannon has called for an investigation into Musk’s immigration background, questioning whether the South African-born billionaire has been fully transparent about his path to U.S. citizenship.
“He should be investigated—and if necessary, deported,” Bannon said.
What Comes Next?
As tensions rise, questions remain about Musk’s future influence in Washington. President Trump’s allies are signaling that loyalty, stability, and accountability—not celebrity or wealth—are what matter most in leadership.
Neither the White House nor the Treasury Department has issued a formal statement. Musk’s representatives declined to comment.
