Elon Musk body-checked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ‘like a rugby player' during fiery clash at White House: report
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. Advertisement 3 Elon Musk reportedly hurled his body into Scott Bessent's rib cage during a heated scuffle in the White House. Getty Images 'Scott said, 'You're a fraud. You're a total fraud,'' Bannon said, referencing the-then Department of Government Efficiency honcho's attempt to slash $1 trillion in federal spending. The verbal spat turned allegedly physical when the world's richest man rammed his shoulder into Bessent's rib cage 'like a rugby player,' prompting the treasury chief to fight back, the paper said Bannon claimed. Advertisement Bannon told the outlet it took multiple people to break up the playground tussle, before the SpaceX and Tesla founder was quickly removed from the West Wing. 'President Trump heard about it and said, 'This is too much,'' said Bannon, who has long been critical of Musk and his involvement in Trump's campaign and presidency. 3 The fiery clash started when Bessent called Musk a 'fraud.'

Advertisement Their breakup has unfolded in real time on social media and escalated after Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thursday that he was 'disappointed' in the ex-DOGE chief, noting, 'I've helped Elon a lot.' 3 The latest details on Musk's dramatic White House exit emerged just days after the X owner went on a multi-day social media spiral against Trump. FRANCIS CHUNG/POOL/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Musk proceeded to lash out against the president, accusing the Trump administration of withholding documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein because the president would be mentioned in them. Trump charged that Musk has gone 'crazy' and threatened to cancel the 'Billions and Billions' of dollars in contracts and subsidies the entrepreneur receives from the federal government. Advertisement Bannon also demanded a federal investigation into Musk's immigration status, pressing that he should be deported 'immediately.' Musk, who hails from South Africa, is an American citizen, according to reports. The White House and Treasury Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Reps for Musk couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Trump Confronted Musk in Private Before Their Blowout Public Fight
This week, president Donald Trump and Elon Musk's bad blood burst into public view — but apparently, it had been brewing behind the scenes for some time. In a massive exposé looking behind the curtain of the year's biggest breakup, the New York Times revealed that the pair was already squabbling immediately after Musk's now-infamous farewell party — yes, the one that Musk showed up to with a mysterious black eye and a bizarre excuse. According to White House insiders who requested that the NYT keep them anonymous, Trump learned just ahead of Musk's now-infamous final Oval Office meeting last week that aviator Jared Isaacman, the billionaire's pick to lead NASA, had in recent years been a big-time donor to Democrats. Though many donations are public and easily accessible on databases like OpenSecrets, the information in that file was apparently news to the president. After playing nice during Musk's televised farewell, Trump apparently made his displeasure with the situation known. During the confrontation, Trump read the names out loud — which names, we don't know, because the NYT didn't reveal them — while reportingly shaking his head. This wasn't good, he told Musk. Attempting to defend his pick, Musk insisted that Isaacman's donations could be spun positively as proof that Trump, himself a former registered Democrat, was willing to hire people from different political backgrounds. The president, however, wasn't buying it, and suggested it showed only that the well-heeled SpaceX customer was a turncoat. Isaacman's nomination was ultimately rescinded after that tense exchange at the end of May. And according to the NYT's unnamed insiders, that debacle was the tipping point that took his increasing frustrations with the president to nuclear levels. Within just a few days, Musk began posting about the "abomination" that he consider's Trump's 2025 budget and tax proposal to be — and added in an apparent pedophilia allegation for good measure. The president, to his end, responded publicly to Musk's barbs the only way he knows how: with cruelty and aplomb. Along with threatening to cancel SpaceX's NASA contracts, Trump allegedly, per more reporting from the New York Times, decided to sell the cherry-red Tesla he purchased in March "as a show of support and confidence" for Musk.

JD Vance Finds Out About Musk's Epstein-Files Posts During Theo Von Interview: ‘S— Missile!'
JD Vance found out Elon Musk had alleged Donald Trump is in the Epstein files in real time — but unlike the rest of us, he was doing a live podcast. Vance was being interview for Theo Von's 'This Past Weekend' when the host noted, 'Elon just hit the airwaves today.' 'Oh man,' Vance replied. Von then added, 'The f–king s–t missile is in the cannon' before he read Musk's tweet. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,' Musk wrote on X. 'That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' 'Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,' Musk added. The extremely former DOGE chief deleted the post sometime Friday night. 'This is one I haven't even seen. I haven't even seen this one before,' Vance told Von before he described the accuastion as 'total BS.' 'Jeez. Man. Well … so just so your audience is aware, when is this going to air? Like, tomorrow or two days from now?' Vance asked. Von joked that the show was airing within minutes before reassuring Vance that wasn't the case. 'I'm just saying, like, presumably when this comes out, people are gonna know more about this than even I do because this kind of happened on the plane when I was coming on down here,' Vance added. Musk and Trump entered into a very public dispute on Thursday morning. The war of words played out on X and in the White House. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore,' Trump told White House reporters the same day. 'I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot.' Trump also said he believes he would have won the state of Pennsylvania and the 2024 Election with or without Musk. In response to Trump's remarks, Musk tweeted, 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.' In an additional tweet, the billionaire accused Trump of expressing 'such ingratitude.' Trump has also said he believes Musk is incensed because his proposed Big, Beautiful Bill would cut the federal electric vehicle tax credit. 'Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here,' Trump said of Musk. 'He only developed [a] problem when he found out that we're going to have to cut the EV mandate.' Musk deleted his tweets tying Trump to the Epstein files sometime Friday or early Saturday. His tweets inspired Democrats California Rep. Robert Garcia and Massachusetts Rep. Stephen F. Lynch to ask U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Kash Patel to unseal the files. 'We write with profound alarm at allegations that files relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have not been declassified and released to the American public because they personally implicate President Trump,' the letter read. In February Bondi released over 100 declassified documents pertaining to Epstein, the so-called 'first phase' of a larger release. The documents are heavily redacted and largely disappointing got those who hoped to gain real insight into the investigation. Trump was asked about another release of documents in April, but said he was unsure of when anything else would come out. 'I don't know. I'll speak to the Attorney General about that. I really don't know,' the president explained. Watch the interview with JD Vance in the video above.
