An unknown fight between billionaire Masculine and the US Finance Minister, Scott Bessed In the White House, after a disagreement over the appointment of the new head of the tax office, the Washighton Post is released while the US president’s confrontation with the technology tycoon holds up well.

According to the report, many believe that the rupture between Musk and Donald Trump came this week when it was public. However, according to the report, cracks in the alliance began to appear much earlier. As Musk’s arrogance “move quickly and spoil things” has compiled the White House’s ambitions to reshape American society, The billionaire alienated key members of the White House staffincluding Susie Ways, and quarreled with members of the cabinet, even reaching physical contact with Scott Besed.

And despite the problems that occurred quite early, Trump remained focused on his legislative agenda and on the cost of spending cuts despite the confrontation between the two powerful men.

“President Trump and the entire government will continue the significant mission of reducing waste, fraud and abuse by our federal government by taxpayers, and the passage of the One Big Beautiful bill is critical to achieving this mission,” he said.

Musk arrived in Washington in January as Trump’s most powerful ally, spending nights in the Lincoln bedroom while serving as a top White House consultant. But it was not particularly honeymoon, as Musk’s brutal violence, lack of political acidity and ideological differences on the basis of Maga erected his relationship with top government officials and ultimately with the president.

The first problems appeared in Februarywhen an email arrived in the entire government, asking federal officials to describe their five achievements last week.

Council of Ministers and other heads of services were not alerted to the memorandum in advance, causing concern to the highest levels of the Trump government. When officials learned that the email had been sent to some federal judges, who do not belong to the executive, and to others who handle confidential information, the feeling that Musk had essentially misinterpreted the federal government or that he did not have a skill.

Despite the tension, Trump and his deputy chief of staff, Steven Miller, remained with Musk. But Wile was becoming more and more anxious about clashes between the US Doge service and other government leaders.

As Musk and his Doge team were trying to reduce federal grants, dismiss federal bureaucrats and close the US International Development Service, the target of Trump’s political opponents.

Her April 1, the first major referendum on Musk was held. Musk had flooded Wisconsin with money to reinforce the candidate who was Trump’s ally in a race for a headquarters in the State Supreme Court. He was badly defeated, which was awakened for the Republicans, who began to recognize that Musk had passed from political risk to responsibility.

At the same time, Musk – like many other business leaders – was increasingly disappointed by Trump’s economic policies. On April 2, when the president imposed duties aimed at reforming the world economy, Musk expressed his displeasure on duties and called Trump’s trade adviser and long -term ally. Peter Navarro “Stupid.”

In private, Musk addressed personal appeals to Trump to undo the duties. Trump did not comply, retreating only a few days later after a sharp drop in bond markets.

The controversy reached in collision between Musk and Finance Minister Scott Bessed at White Houseafter disagreement over the appointment of the new head of the tax office. In mid -April, Musk and Bessed had gone to the Oval Office to present their respective views on their preferences. Trump decided to support Bessed’s choice. This disagreement was first mentioned by the New York Times.

After Bessed and Musk left the oval office and began walking in the hallway, the two men began to exchange insults, said former Trump adviser Steve Banon, adding that Bessed had said Musk’s allegations that he would reveal more than 1.

“Scott said, ‘you are a scam. You are completely fraudulent’ ‘, Banon said in an interview.

Musk then hit his shoulder in Bessed’s chest “like a rugby player”, said former Trump adviser Steve Banon, and Besed repaid it. Several people intervened to dismantle them as the two men arrived at the National Security Counselor’s office, and Musk was removed from the western wing.

“President Trump heard it and said,” This is excessive, “Banon said.

At the end of April, Musk said he would retire from the ministry and the government to focus more on his business, especially on Tesla, which was facing difficulties. Musk said he would continue to spend part of his time in Washington, and his allies to Silicon Valley claimed he would continue to run the dog from afar. However, as he was missing, his opponents within the government had an opportunity to undermine him. In her Jared Aizakman, whom Trump had proposed as NASA’s director after urging Musk.

Musk’s ambition is to colonize Mars and to have an ally NASA head was an important goal. But Aizakman had made many political contributions to democratic candidates.

Just a week ago, on the last day of the billionaire technology as a special government official, Sergio Gor, Trump’s adviser armed the US president with prints showing his donations Azakman to the Democrats. Trump informed Musk that he withdrew Aizakman about the position due to concerns about his dedication.

But Gore’s role was not accidental. Trump’s long -standing assistant had clashed with Musk throughout the transitional period, disagreeing with the recommendations of appointments. The tensions between the two escalated in March, after Musk believed that Gor had leaked an article in the New York Times about a meeting in which Musk clashed with many cabinet members, according to a person knowing the situation.

When Trump decided to withdraw Aisakman’s candidacy, the decision seemed to It is a blow to Musk’s ambitions in space.

Despite growing tensions, however, Musk and Trump presented a single front that day during a formal farewell ceremony for Musk at the Oval Office, where Trump awarded him a ritual key and praised him as “one of the biggest business leaders and innovatives”. But just a few days later, things got wild among the men with their counter to go out.

Senior White House officials tried to downgrade the impact, insisting that the president was already aware of Musk’s view on the matter. However, Trump’s self -restraint was shaken on Thursday during his appearance at the Oval Office, as he told reporters that he was “frustrated” by Musk and questioned the future of their friendship.

On Friday, Trump said he had no intention of contacting Musk. At the same time, he is thinking of selling the recent red Tesla. Musk, for his part, continued the attacks, referring to Trump in cases related to Jeffrey Estain and speaking openly about the creation of a new party.

“There is hope for reconnection,” said one consultant who knows both sides. “But they will never be the same.”
