Witnesses: Fight and screaming between Musk and Bessent – likened to wrestling
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and special adviser Elon Musk got into a screaming brawl at the White House last week, two witnesses and three sources tell Axios.
– It was quite a scene – it was loud, I mean loud, says one witness.
The men did not get “physical” when they argued in front of Donald Trump in the Oval Office, but when they came out into the hallway, they allegedly started again.
The fight is described as a “chest-to-chest” clash.
– It was two middle-aged billionaires who thought there were wrestling matches going on in the White House, says one witness.
The fight was allegedly about who would lead the IRS.

Leaks about "sensible" Bessent - may fall into disfavor
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has gained Donald Trump's ear and increasing influence. At the same time, it is leaked to the press and the theme is often that Bessent should be a sensible voice in the administration. Bessent is protecting his own skin, writes Axios.
At the same time, and strangely enough, good personal publicity can be a way to fall into disfavor with Trump, writes the news site.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, on the other hand, may benefit and be protected by the fact that he is under attack in the media - Trump then recognizes it from his own media storms.
- Have you met Donald Trump? Telling him to fire someone is the surest way to ensure that they don't get fired, a high-ranking advisor to Trump tells Axios.
