Who's Musk screaming at in the Oval Office now?

Tech billionaire Elon Musk might claim he’ll soon step back from Washington as Tesla sales nosedive, but there are many reasons to get rid of him right now, starting with his total lack of professionalism.

According to Axios, Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent got into a full-blown screaming match in the Oval Office, within earshot of President Donald Trump. The two reportedly continued their argument in the hallway, where they were eventually separated like middle schoolers.

“It was quite a scene. It was loud. And I mean, loud,” one witness told Axios.

Another described it as “two billionaire, middle-aged men thinking it was WWE in the hall of the West Wing.” (It’s worth noting, though, that Bessent is not a billionaire—just a run-of-the-mill multimillionaire.)

Trump probably got a charge out of them fighting; he gets off on causing chaos and discord.

I read that Trump in his first term had several meetings with his cabinet where he had women crying.
Trump is one person that needed an ass whipping a long time ago.

To save those companies.
