Elon Muskās shouting match with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent might have been the final nail in the coffin for the tech billionaireās four-month stint in the White House, but it came after months of bubbling frustration at Muskās āchain-sawā approach to dismantling the federal government.
Musk and Bessent exploded at each other in April when Musk attempted to force through his pick to lead the IRSāGary Shapleyābehind Bessentās back. (Musk eventually lost this battleāShapley lasted less than 72 hours before Bessent tapped Michael Faulkender to replace him.)
āFuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!ā a typically mild-mannered Bessent was heard shouting after Musk as they charged down the halls of the West Wing.
I think some of them are starting to wake up to the reality that their economic position will not improve under their god-emperor.
I dunno, I hope you are right, but every time I see a headline like that it turns out to be a feel-good article based on two random disgruntled twitter posters or something.
