A fight breaks out at the ''White House''/ Elon Musk harshly

The White House administrative staff has witnessed a fierce clash between Donald Trump's advisor, Elon Musk, and US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. This is reported by the American media "Axios".

The dispute involved the US tax authority. US President Donald Trump was part of the debate, two witnesses reported. The debate was so heated that an employee had to intervene.

"There were two middle-aged men, billionaires who thought it was West Wing wrestling, " said a witness to the debate last Thursday. 

There was no physical altercation in the Oval Office, “but the president saw it and then they took him out into the hallway.” “It was loud. And I mean loud,” the second eyewitness said.

The New York Times previously reported on a disagreement between Musk and Bessent.

White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said of the disagreement: "It's no secret that President Trump has assembled a team of people who are incredibly passionate about the issues that affect our country." Disagreements are "a normal part of any healthy political process."

Trump praised Musk after the debate. "He was a tremendous help." However, the US president also indicated that the adviser would be retiring from the government.

Musk was a friend and he would have liked to keep him “for a long time,” Trump said. At the same time, however, he pointed out that Musk, in addition to cars, also deals with rockets and medical technology.
