teve Bannon, ex-Trump strategist, said Elon Musk got physical with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a fight at the White House, as per Daily Mail report. This happened because Bessent accused Musk of failing to cut enough government spending as promised.
Bessent told Musk, "You promised $1 trillion in cuts, and now it’s just $100 billion. What are you doing?" Musk didn’t like that and shoved Bessent. It wasn’t just a shouting match, it was a real physical fight.
The White House confirmed the incident happened in April, on Musk’s last day as a special advisor to Trump. Leavitt said that Trump’s team is full of passionate people, and disagreements happen sometimes, as stated in the report by Daily Mail.
Around the same time, New York Times also reported that Musk had been using drugs like ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms during the campaign. Back in April, when the fight first became public, one witness said it looked like “two billionaire middle-aged men thinking it was WWE in the West Wing”, as mentioned in the report by Axios.
Bessent was heard yelling “Fuck you!” repeatedly at Musk. Musk replied “I can’t hear you. Say it louder.” The fight started in the Oval Office, then moved near Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ office, and then to the National Security Advisor’s office, according to the report by Axios.

Bannon said Trump supported Bessent 100% after the fight. Trump also got mad at Musk earlier in March, when Musk had another clash, this time with Marco Rubio over mass firings at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). After that March fight, Trump publicly said he wanted to limit Musk’s cost-cutting ideas, as per reports.
Now that Musk is no longer working at the White House, he has started saying a few things he doesn’t fully agree with about Trump’s team. According to the report by CBS Sunday Morning, Musk said that while he agrees with some of what the administration does, there are things he doesn’t fully support. Musk said he’s in a “bind” because he doesn’t want to attack the administration, but also doesn’t want to be blamed for everything they do.

Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.
Mr. Musk had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily, and mixing it with other drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption. The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him.
He also took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States and in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.
#Interest payments already consume 25% of all government revenue.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 4, 2025
If the massive deficit spending continues, there will only be money for interest payments and nothing else! No social security, no medical, no defense … nothing. https://t.co/UKp4HYdKRt
This immense level of overspending will drive America into debt slavery! https://t.co/AuBXzJRjIT

#If the electorate doesn't hold congress accountable to reducing the deficit, and start paying down the debt, Bitcoin is going to take over as reserve currency.

I love Bitcoin, but a strong America is also super important for the world. We need to get our finances under control. https://t.co/aeBE7pUuHo

Elon MUSK has lost it, fisi style. Trump will likely cut his federal contracts slowly! Went from supporting conservatives with real dough to going extreme Nancy Pelosi-cum-Rachel Maddow Liberalism in under 2 months. He must be a dummy to think he can go against the Heritage Foundation and the America First Policy Institute and their project 2025 agenda of weakening America. These people are committed until DEMOCRATS gain the House again and the GOP is wiped out in the next election. He was in for his stomach and now realizes the liberals that have been bankrolling him for decades were all along more right on policy than greedy big corporations and their buddies!

A flood of Fox News commenters are siding with Elon’s call for strict budget cuts and slamming Trump for failing to deliver.

Don't Trust Elon. Elon seeks support from Liberals to maintain his stock's growth naturally, rather than risking financial ruin by boosting it with his Wall Street associates. Now that he is pissing off Trump lunatics, they have also started offloading, and stock is spiraling down to the 200 zone again. I think he is caught between a hard rock and a hard surface. You can't be for MAGA or Main Street America; you have to choose a side!
